Say yes to a ridiculous idea.<\/p>\n
Inhale deeply the scent of a beloved pet.<\/p>\n
Walk barefoot on the beach.<\/p>\n
Remember all the times you never thought you\u2019d make it this far.<\/p>\n
Ask a small child to help you paint your toenails.<\/p>\n
Dance to that one song…<\/p>\n
Take a nap.<\/p>\n
Do something creative.<\/p>\n
Have something wonderful read aloud to you.<\/p>\n
Wear a shortish dress to show off your long legs. Accept all compliments graciously and with a wide smile.<\/p>\n
Treat yourself. Maybe to ice-cream. Or fresh flowers.<\/p>\n
Give away love everywhere and any way you can.<\/p>\n
Go to the farmer’s market and buy a pint of strawberries, then eat them quietly in your living room when you are all by yourself.<\/p>\n
Make funny faces at very small children when their parents aren’t looking.<\/p>\n
Work out. Not to be skinny, but because becoming strong will make you feel powerful and confident in so many other ways.<\/p>\n
Show up even if you don\u2019t know what to say.<\/p>\n
Water the garden.<\/p>\n
Take time off. Travel. Meet strangers where and how they live; get a larger perspective of the world and its people and your place in it.<\/p>\n
Read an old love letter as a reminder that you have been adored.<\/p>\n
Sit with the ocean or under a huge old oak.<\/p>\n
Want what you want just because you want it.<\/p>\n
Compliment a total stranger.<\/p>\n
Buy one bar of lovely dark chocolate and eat one tiny square a day like it is the secret to life and liberty.<\/p>\n
