Easy Ways to Bring more Love, Joy and
Fun into Your Life
Introduction

Do you find that you’re very good at giving yourself pleasure, comfort and nurturing in your free time? Do you take time every day to do special things that make you feel cared for and loved? Or do you get so busy that you don’t even take a break at work except for lunch – and that’s rushed. You get home and you’re so tired, you eat fast food or a TV dinner and plop down in front of the TV. 

Are you a busy mom, who does things for others all day without a moment to yourself? Do you feel relaxed and cared for? Or do you feel kind of empty, frustrated and maybe wonder why you don’t have more enthusiasm for your life?  No matter who you are, single, married, with or without children, the ideas in this booklet can bring more balance, joy and harmony into your life.

Americans are known for being neglectful of personal comfort and nurturing. In Europe, everyone gets six weeks of vacation every year. In the US we’re lucky if we get three. Many Europeans go to spas on their vacations where they are pampered from morning until night with massages, hot springs baths, mudpacks and many other special treatments. Most Americans on the other hand do take their short vacations - but then spend almost all the time trekking from here to there, rarely taking time out to just relax and do nothing.

This tips list offers some ways for you to take a “mini” vacation or to set aside special time for yourself while you’re at work, at home or traveling. Some of these ideas may be things you’ve already thought of. But you also may find some tips that seem really different to you. Try picking a few of them and do them consistently for a week or two. You’ll find that you feel better and more relaxed. 

Self-nurturing is a very powerful tool for improving your self-esteem and making you feel good about yourself. Have fun trying different techniques and playing with these ideas. You may come up with some great nurturing suggestions of your own! If so, I’d love to hear about them, please email me at info@love-you-2.com and we’ll post them on our Web site.
