* take yourself to dine alone at a fancy restaurant as a special treat (best to take order to-go during covid-19 situation we find ourselves in and dine at home if possible, also an option to order from the restaurant on a third party app like Uber Eats)
* buy flowers or a plant you like for yourself (or as a gift for someone else)
* learn a new language or brush up on one (especially second generation individual (like me (:+)/ ) /if you are traveling to a new foreign country soon)
* Take sometime outside the house in the morning, sit down, stand, or walk around a bit - to breathe in the fresh morning air and just think -
* Take a walk in the daytime, morning, afternoon, around the neighborhood or at a park
(breathe in deeply, take in the surrounding nature, and helps to think more clearly about other issues you are facing in day-to-day life and/or decisions)
* Brush up on skin care, hair care, self-care routine
* Pray, reflect in journal writing and/or blog writing
* Write down plans and goals that you've had and hadn't really gotten around to, and brainstorm on ways to materialize and incorporate those goals in your life
* Discover talents or interests you may not have known you had - learn something new or brush up new skills of what you already know, listen to new music, visit somewhere new that interests you
* Take a warm bubble bath break for about an hour with candles, epsom salt, relaxing music and just forget the world for a moment
* Write a list of things you have accomplished and another list of everything you are grateful for until you get tired of writing/typing, look over everything and smile, also a pat on the back (optional)
* Write down and think about something you have learned today or recently
* Do a random act of kindness, even if you need to force yourself and get out of your comfort zone
