Ever since Tom and Donna taught us to \u201cTreat yo self\u201d there seems to be a craze towards self-care. \u00a0I\u2019m not condoning to take it to Tom and Donna\u2019s level of extreme; spending lavish amounts of money doing whatever you want one day out of the year (although that doesn\u2019t sound too shabby). I am saying that it\u2019s OK to treat ourselves and be selfish routinely. \u00a0In fact, it\u2019s more than OK. It\u2019s what we actually need to not only survive but thrive. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stress is a bitch and a bully. \u00a0It gives us acne, makes us irritable, steals our joy and makes us feel less than. \u00a0In a world where everyone has to have multiple unofficial grinds to stay afloat, stress seems to be a byproduct of our society. In fact, it seems that stress is seen as a badge of honor. \u00a0If you\u2019re not on the utmost level, going the fastest, sleeping the least, then you\u2019re not doing it right. Right? WRONG! To thrive beyond surviving we have to take time for ourselves to rejuvenate and replenish. \u00a0This is not always easy. Especially for those who are in a fast pace world or those who hold obligations to multiple people. Below are a few things to do throughout your day to feed your selfishness and give you more of a realistic balance in this never-ending face paced rat race of NYC. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Indulge in that yoga, spin, or exercise class, exercise class…<\/b><\/p>\n

Working out gives us endorphins and endorphins aid us in feeling happier and more balanced in life. \u00a0Sometimes, especially in the city, it can be costly to join that class that we want. Treat yo\u2019 self and do it! \u00a0Groupon always has a good deal for something and there are many awesome meetups to get your body moving (check out what we have to offer in the Wellvyl community). \u00a0Indulging in yourself by taking care of yourself has bountiful gains. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take a Moment to Massage \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

NYC AKA the place where you can get a bomb ass massage at a reasonable price. \u00a0Massages were not meant to be an indulgent, upper class, thing. If you research eastern medicine, you\u2019ll see that messages are actually apart of a regular health regime. \u00a0When we have stress or trauma that energy stays in us unless released. This tension usually translates to stiff bodies and ultimately bigger health issues. This is why in many Asian countries to this day you see massages as a staple to health. \u00a0Taking an hour once a month to get some of those kinks out on a regular basis is amazingly restorative, even if some see it as indulgent and selfish. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just Say \u2018No\u2019 to that invite<\/b><\/p>\n

There is nothing wrong with choosing to be a homebody from time to time. \u00a0This city always presents an opportunity to move and shake. There are a million things to get into and a million more people who want you to join in the fun. \u00a0You should be social, go out and have a good time but that can take a toll on you mentally, spiritually, and physically. Ensure that you are purposefully giving yourself some quiet rejuvenation time. \u00a0Time to be alone with your thoughts enjoy a nice Netflix binge, or my favorite have a date with a glass of wine (or two) and a bathtub. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And lastly not as serious but definitely as real <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For not paying for every \u2018showtime\u2019 <\/b><\/p>\n

I know this one is a bit silly but it is also very true. \u00a0Sometimes our days in this city are long, hard, and kick our butts. \u00a0It\u2019s everything for us to get into the safety of our apartment walls without bursting out crying or hitting something. So when we are in a mood or having a moment and get overstimulated by music, dancing, or loudness, in general, it is ok to not be ok. \u00a0This is a battle I have had to personally fight- maybe it\u2019s the southern in me, maybe it\u2019s the connection with the people that are usually entertaining, regardless I\u2019ve had to learn it\u2019s ok to not dig into my pocket. It\u2019s ok to just muster up a smile or a hand clap and go back to protecting soul so I can make it home to settle down from the day. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The best thing about these things is you don\u2019t have to pick one day to treat yo\u2019self. \u00a0You should embrace selfishness and the art of self-care as often as possible. Commit to 6 months of the above and see the difference in how you are able to show up for yourself and others. <\/span><\/p>\n
