But I think that in times like this, we often forget about ourselves and neglect our own needs. So this is why I feel compelled to bring up this topic of treating yourself because I think it's a concept that makes certain people uncomfortable because treating yourself involves rewarding yourself, and some people think they don't deserve a reward. I think the first step to treating yourself is acknowledging that you deserve good things, nice things, acknowledging that you deserve to be cared about and considered
It's also quite entertaining and lovely, so that's probably my form of how I treat myself. But I definitely should try to treat myself more and find other ways to do so so that I do it more often because I don't spend too much time treating yourself, which is really a miss because I definitely deserve to treat myself

And I think as far as how I treat myself, really making time to just listen to music and enjoy that is one way I treat myself and making sure to make time for exercise and being outside and movement and being in nature is definitely another way I treat myself. And I like that you pointed out that treating yourself does not always need to be things that involve money or consuming, but can be creative and can be just about connection. So thank you for that
So because of that, I think there are a lot of people who don't consider themselves when they're thinking about compassion or care or love, and that can be really detrimental to someone's overall well being because especially if you don't have people in your life to give you a little nudge and remind you to put yourself first
