The year is gradually winding up: that time of the year when people are mostly left with mixed feelings. Grateful to still be around yet still ask themselves, "What have I achieved so far this year?".
It's always so easy to get lost in our pursuit of our goals that we lose track of how amazingly well we've done throughout the year.
Take a minute to close your eyes and picture where you were few years ago compared to your present self; see how much growth you've accomplished in all ramifications overtime?
That's exactly why you deserve a gift!
A gift that says, "Dear Self, thank you for everything so far. 🤗
We often talk about how important it is to give ourselves a treat once in a while, but not so many people replicate this act.
IS GIFTING MYSELF THAT IMPORTANT? 🤷♀️
YES!
Gifting oneself is a beautiful practice that often gets overshadowed by the constant busyness of life. In a world that emphasises giving to others, taking a moment to treat yourself can be a powerful act of self-care and self-appreciation.
Whether it's a small gesture like enjoying a quiet morning with a cup of tea or a larger investment in something that brings you joy, like swiping that card to purchase that pair of shoes you've been wanting all year, here's why self-gifting is important:
Self-gifting is a way to honor yourself and nurture your well-being.
When you gift yourself, you are sending a message of self-worth and self-love.
By pampering yourself with a thoughtful gift or experience, you are affirming your importance and prioritising your happiness.
Self-gifting can have a profound impact on your mental and emotional state, boosting your confidence, reducing stress, and fostering a positive relationship with yourself.
HOW DO I GIFT MYSELF?
When it comes to gifting myself, I sometimes get dramatic with it.
You know those funny Instagram reels you sometimes come across where someone places a gift at their door, shuts the door, and reopens the door, acting all surprised to see that gift there?
Yep... that's me! 🫠.
Why so dramatic, you ask? Because it makes the gift feel even more special.
Do you have to wrap your gifts and put on an entire show when gifting yourself? Not necessarily.
Do you need to approach gifting yourself with the same excitement that comes with receiving a long-awaited/surprise gift from a loved one? YES! 😌. It is that much of a big deal.
So, the next time you think about giving, remember that it's equally important to give to yourself. Whether it's a tangible present, a meaningful experience, or simply the gift of self-care and self-compassion, self-gifting is a way to nourish your soul and cultivate a deeper connection with yourself. Embrace the beauty of honouring your own needs and desires, because you are truly deserving of love, appreciation, and kindness—especially from yourself.
