Self Love is NOT Selfish

Gifting yourself is as important as gifting others, if not more!
Traditionally gift giving was a way to show others you love and care for them, now more than ever gifting yourself is a way to show yourself that you love and care for yourself. Of course it all depends on how you look at it. But if your someone who is reserved when spending money or time on things than gift giving yourself could be a special treasurable moment.
Gifting yourself doesn't have to be expensive, time- consuming or even insta-worthy. Depending on your interests and what you treasure most there is most certainly a gift to match.
Let's break this down into some categories to help choose what kinda gift- giver you could be: (of course you could fit into one or more categories or have a unique category you'd prefer- these are just ideas) π
> The Athlete: This is the kinda person who loves sports, the outdoors, exercising and overall being active.
> The Beauty Babe: The person who knows all about makeup, enjoys a bubble bath and a nightly facial.
> The Bookworm: The cozy introvert type who prefers reading and journaling.
> The Chef: A person who loves the latest kitchen gadget, the smell of mum's cooking and can typically be found in almost any kitchen.
> The Homebody: This person could be any of us these days π. Seriously though when we think of homebody we think of someone who collects unique objects, art and countless personal assets, as well as loves to decorate their house with wonderful homewares from pillows to chopping boards.
> The Proud Parent: Obviously parent refers to someone who has kids; we see proud parent as someone who usually cares and gives to others. So the proud parent in our eyes needs rest, rejuvenation and fun.
> The Busy Boss: This person doesn't usually have a lot of time, time is precious to them. They are smart, savvy people with an eye for what they want. Gifting your boss self should be an extension of that, celebrating your boss ass attitude and boss ass moves!
> The student: The student is anyone who is learning, which honestly is most of us whether we realise it or not. However, I guess in this case we can call forward those who are in school or studying. A student is usually very busy, very young and very stressed. Gifting a student should allow relaxation and fun as well as improvement upon their chaotic life.
> The Artist: The artist to us is anyone who loves to create and explore. An artists gift is anything that allows or heightens their creativity.
> The Organised One: Ah yes, the organised one. Now conventionallyΒ organised people can be praised and people think its all natural, but lemme tell you if you have any incline towards having an organised space or mind, perhaps you are the organised one, or very soon will be. Gifting yourself something to improve your space or mind is one of the most freeing gifts one can give.
So now that we have some categories in mind, next time you purchase some thing as a thing you need, remind yourself it is a gift. You are gifting that part of yourself. Whether its a new soccer ball, a ballet class, a new watch or a snazzy bookmark.
