Have you hugged yourself today?When was the last time you smiled at yourself?
When was it last that you kissed your reflection in the mirror?
When was it last that you pampered yourself jus because you love yourself and tried to do justice to your existence?
When was the last time that you took time out and spent time with yourself?
Well...how many of us have asked ourselves these questions recently? Well i asked myself these questions today afternoon when i was busy trying to cope up with all my assignments and research papers. I was in a total frustrated frame of mind when a friend gave me a call and as we got talking he told me how he had taken time out from his job and gone on a vacation jus to relax....I realised that i badly needed a break too.
After the conversation i just lay on my bed for sometime and the above questions crossed my mind and to my dismay i realised that it had been a long long time that i had actually just spent time with myself. In my endeavor to achieve my goals and do well at work and studies i had actually not bothered to give myself some time out. I could not recollect when was it last that i went for a ride on a bike on the highway to feel the wind in my hair with just no hang ups at all...i could not recollect when last did i actually go out with my friends and be completely mentally present there with out thinking about the pending tasks!... Nor could i recollect that when was it last that i looked myself in the mirror for a few more seconds just to smile at myself!!!
It was so damn scary. I always thought that i was the easy going happy go lucky kinds...but just 5 mins that i spent thinking about myself today was a big shock to me! So guys i would request all of you to give yourself 5 mins of your time everyday. Think about things that interest you, think about what makes you happy, think about your old friends and take time to call atleast one of them each day, try to plan for your weekend, smile at yourself every morning and the world will smile with you, go out alone and listen to your favorite music, dance a little, treat yourself to your favourite food, sing out to yourself, pamper yourself, laugh loud and with all your heart...forget those plastic smiles for a while, think of the good old times and thank god for all those moments he brought your way etc etc etc..... to put it in one line....
Do all those things to yourself that you would expect your beloved to do for you.... be your own lover once a while and life will suddenly seem so "LIVELY"... as its rightly said....
“You must love yourself before you love another. By accepting yourself and fully being what you are, your simple presence can make others happy.”
