Six: Pamper yourself. If you are going to have this date with yourself, you may as well indulge in some pampering. You can shop, get your nails done, get a massage or a facial. Whatever it is for you that will make you feel loved and well taken care of…gift this to yourself. You deserve it. When you pamper yourself you are acknowledging your lovability and your value.

Look at it this way. Other people enjoy your company, right? So why shouldn’t you? As Buddha quotes, "You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection." Taking yourself on a date is way for you to be in the direct action of loving yourself.

Little Life Message: Love yourself and take charge of your happiness.
