I realize that I have been working too hard. I see now that, in order to bring my best to my life each day, I need to take a break once in a while.
I deserve to go out to eat. I no longer deny myself simple pleasures. I deserve some special treatment.
I deserve a massage. My body functions best when I give myself regular massages. In fact, I deserve an entire spa day.
I deserve to take some time with a special friend and open up some space in my schedule to just relax. I deserve a rest.
I am getting better at recognizing when I have overdone it. I take on fewer tasks. This gives me a chance to relax and breathe a bit.
I am learning to avoid committing to favors that I struggle to fit into my schedule. I set better boundaries. I balance my work and home times more effectively.
I deserve a vacation. I deserve a long weekend. I deserve to enjoy myself.
I realize that I am more than just my job. I am more than my title. I am more than who I work for.
I am finding balance in my life and raising my standard of living by doing so.
I let go of extraneous things and find joy in simple things. I find that, as a result, I enjoy each moment more.
Today, I take time to smell the roses, taste summer fruits, and enjoy my life. I deserve it!
