How do I pamper myself? Ah ... let me count the ways ....

LOOOONG walks alone by the stream, surrounded by the peaceful glories of Nature, at least every other day

Making time every day to practice peaceful, relaxing, invigorating meditation/contemplation/energetic healing exercises.

!!!Chocolate!!!

Sweet smelling body lotions and creams

Taking catnaps when I'm tired

Faithful use of affirmations to silence and replace the negative, stressful, self-defeating thought-habits that pop up regularly. I've discoverd that eventually, these harmful thought-habits just lose their stranglehold and disappear!

Having "call display" on my phone so I can screen my calls. Letting the answering machine take messages when I'm too stressed or tired or otherwise distracted to cope with the public. And returning the most stressful of calls only when I feel relaxed and prepared enough to handle it well. (This is a real stress-saver when you run your own small business out of your home!)

THere's LOTS more, but the tummy's growlin now. So I'm off to pamper myself with some delicious, nutritious, easy-to-prepare food ... ttyl!
