First of all; HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! Second; You made it to Day 5 of the ‘5 days to Self-Love’ Challenge! Yay! Today’s challenge is to take yourself on a date! I must admit it’s a great tip and a wonderful excuse to please yourself if I can say so myself. In fact, I’ve booked myself a SPA Day and dinner ♡

5 days to Self-Love - date

You see, spending time alone with yourself, without distractions, is crucial for us because it opens up space for our real thoughts to come through, of being immersed in our own thoughts and inner guidance, being comfortable with who we really are.

Take yourself somewhere you would love to go: an art gallery, a shop where you can buy something special, the river, the theater, a health club or spa…the choice is yours, but I am sure you get the idea.

Plan your date with yourself as if you were going out with someone who is very important to you:

  • What will you wear?
  • When you will go?
  • Where you will go?

REMEMBER: You are going out with an important person; Yourself. Your relationship with yourself is the most important one that you will ever have.

Need some inspiration on what to do?

  • Day-trip to PARIS
  • Go to the movies
  • Have lunch and or dinner at a nice restaurant
  • Afternoon Tea for one
