Weekend Self-Care Tips (4)

What are you doing this weekend to recuperate and recharge your soul?

I think giving yourself a good talking to might be in order – tell yourself what you need to hear. No negative self-talk, just positive affirmations. As a woman, it can be tiresome to be told to smile, but I am going to tell you to do just that – smile at yourself. Look in the mirror and give yourself a smile. It may feel forced, but it becomes easier with practice.

This weekend I am looking forward to having a moment to sit with myself, without any distractions and just be. First, I need to clean out my brain of ‘temporary files’ to rid of clutter and give room for new positive ideas. Then, I need to catch up with a few friends, but I am kicking off the weekend with a dance party with a perfect song. The song is about self-love and having fun, and it definitely makes you want to move – take it away Mary ‘Queen of Hip Hop Soul’ Blige.

“Let it go
Can’t let this thing called love get away from you
Feel free right now, go do what you want to do
Can’t let nobody take it away, from you, from me, from we
No time for moping around, are you kidding?
And no time for negative vibes, ’cause I’m winning
It’s been a long week, I put in my hardest
Gonna live my life, feels so good to get it right”

Just Fine – Mary J Blige
