Increasing Self Esteem Through Pampering
The interpretation for the expression "self
indulgent" is often a negative one, as in "thinking of nobody else"
or "doing something solely for pleasure when there are other things
to be done". And while the former is not necessarily true, the
latter is, but there are benefits to doing something purely for
pleasure, that not only come to the person doing the indulging, but
to those around them as well.
People today find it hard to indulge themselves in the things they
like, or the little extras that would constitute pampering
themselves. We are a society that is constantly running on our
reserves of energy, both mental and physical. When that goes on too
long, exhaustion sets in, and with that we become open to stresses
that we might have been able to fight off, had we been more alert,
or in the condition to consider how best to deal with our problems.
As a result, we may become obsessive about our jobs, our looks, and
our place in society, all from a perspective of not being good
enough because we can't control or handle the stress in our lives.

That is where a little self-indulgence or pampering, can be the
key to turning things around, especially if practiced before things
get out of hand. Afterwards, it is more difficult to get one's self
to accept that they deserve this, and that it should take priority
over lesser things. |
For example, a day at the spa may seem wickedly sinful. And
expensive. But there is a purpose to everything they do there, and
if you are under stress, many of the treatments will help you to
release it. Massages will not only provide physical benefits to the
body, but will relax the mind as well, and in combination with
aromatherapy, can induce a state of mind where you are able to view
things more clearly, and consider them from every angle, without the
pressure of doing it now, doing it right, etc. Other treatments
designed to condition and enhance the physical appearance, including
make-up and even hair-styling, will reinforce that boost to your
self esteem that you get from feeling good, and now, knowing that
you look good as well. You have gained both confidence in your
decision making, and confidence in your appearance.
So go ahead...indulge. It's good for you,
and when you're feeling good, those around you will share in the
benefits.
