Last summer I discovered a wonderful spa near my home that offers all types of facials and massages including, some wonderful sounding treatments that I’d never heard of. Yet despite promising myself that I would check it out soon the most I’ve done it step over the threshold to pick up a leaflet.
As I was walking past it today I had to admit to myself that the reason I had not yet visited was simply that it felt too self-serving. Although not expensive, it isn't particularly cheap and having a treatment would mean having a good few hours out of my day when I’d be unavailable to others. It just seemed too self-indulgent. Yet as a Coach and Healer I am always reminding others that they must consider themselves “worthy” and “worth it” when it comes to having what they want in their life. I always think I have the firm belief that I’m worth it but my new local spa suddenly showed me where I was ‘all thought and no action’.
So I thought i'd ask, what about you? Do you take time to do things for yourself, give yourself little treats, have some ‘me’ time? Or is this a foreign concept to you? Whether we are wives and mothers, career woman or carers, we all need to take some time for ourselves. After all how can we offer our best to others if we are not at out best?
So this is just a little reminder that from time to time we all need some nurturing, and if you are not getting that from others then you need to make sure you give it yourself.
As for me I am going to be self-indulgent and book a new treatment that I heard about last year and have been dying to try out, Fish Pedicures. Tiny little fish nibbling away at the unwanted skin on your feet instead having your dead skin filed away by a pedicurist. I’m a little apprehensive but I’ll let you know how it goes.
