• Taking time for you...

• Nurturing yourself takes time and now that you are ready to start doing that on a regular basis, let’s look at some things you can do.
• 
  
• Tending to your body:
• *Take a bubble bath and soak in the warmth and enjoy the time for yourself
• *Exfoliate your skin and use your favorite lotions to nourish it.
• *Take care of your nails (men included) and file, buff and polish them.
• *Get a massage or relax in the jacuzzi.
• *Don’t forget your feet and remove callouses and soften with a scented lotion.
• *If you can afford it, buy a hot wax machine for home use and warm your hands, elbows and feet with layers of hot wax that contains oil.  Your skin will be silky smooth afterwards.

There are other important ways that need to be included in pampering yourself.  These include getting exercise, sleeping well and enough (it is suggested that people with chronic illnesses get 8-10 hours of sleep per night) and eating a healthy diet as a lifestyle.

Be kind to yourself and if you haven’t been doing these things listed above, start today and enjoy!
