How do you spoil yourself without feeling guilty?​

Hi everyone!

I hope you all had an amazing weekend! Mine was extra special—I celebrated my birthday with my family yesterday.

But here’s the thing... I didn’t get myself a gift this year. I always feel guilty spending on myself, even for small things.

Do you ever feel that way? If so, what’s something simple and guilt-free that you do to spoil yourself? I think I deserve to spoil myself a bit, but I’m not sure where to start—I would love to hear your ideas!

Hi well first of all a very happy birthday to this lovely lady spellbinding name of Vella ..yes I’m a touch the same I’ve not bought a birthday gift for some years now the small indulgences I deal in, the early morning expresso married to a rather enlarged sprinkled donut, yes each morning this ritual takes place plus the privileged indulgence of conversation in this manner is that indeed not considered a big indulgence,maybe a few things taken for granted could be considere ..thoughts ?

A few drinks and some birthday cake or other delicious snacks. What about a pedicure, manicure or massage ?? Happy birthday Vella, hope you had a great day.

A special day for a special Vella
Only you can be true to yourself and only you
And being kind to yourself can only be you only in your truth once again this is why you are special
And everyone can feel untrue to themselves it's high wire we walk as a being of Human

A special day for a special Vella
Only you can be true to yourself and only you
And being kind to yourself can only be you only in your truth once again this is why you are special
And everyone can feel untrue to themselves it's high wire we walk as a being of Human

It’s that high wire we need to stay so balanced on and embarking on the daily truth that makes the walk we conquer a special one as Vella does, I’m sure in our on way we all do

Very Happy Birthday Vella.
Material things are not important Vella, as you will see as you become older. The day you spent with family is more important than anything. You had the gift of family and loved ones, the greatest gift of all.

Hi Vella, A Very Very Happy Birthday At 78 years of age, with a life of lack of money & all that comes with it. I always went without for the family. These days I can afford to pay for myself so I would recommend you indulge & enjoy every day.

I hope yesterday was great Vella!

My indulgence when I was working was boots. I only have 5 good pair but I would save and not have treats so I could afford them. They are very colourful

I write myself a Birthday note, praising the things I know I do right and scolding myself for any indiscretions to make good.

As we all reach that magical 60 number (Me on Jan 27th) we deserve to spoil ourselves now. We've all worked so hard in our careers it's now our turn to enjoy life. Oh wait I've been doing that since I started working at 16 hehehehehe
The point is do it now. Look around the world with all the devastation. We have one life so I say continue pampering, holidaying eat or drink that piece of naughty food or drink. Live it up big for there is no guarantee any one will see tomorrow

Oh to true I can so

I write myself a Birthday note, praising the things I know I do right and scolding myself for any indiscretions to make good.

funny enough I do that but on a nightly scale just an analysis of where I went right, the wrong turns,self praise, self exploration and hopefully sort through it all

 

[Tezzamoana]

You must pamper yourself on your birthday
Nails, or hair, or massage, or facial or a nice piece of clothing or take yourself out for brekky. The world is your oyster and you can do anything you damn well please

 

[Ken Beer]

No, I'm 89 and I bought myself a high quality pair of new shoes, so I can go out looking and feeling great!

That's my point exactly. It can be anything you want
That's fantastic.....Go you

Happy Birthday for last week. I always feel guilty if I buy anything for myself even just going out for a coffee. I know that we deserve to spoil ourselves once in a while but I do feel guilty even having a sit down coffee at the local cafe.
