5 Tips to Make Yourself a Priority

  

1. Decide today to have a better relationship with yourself. Show yourself love as you’d show love to your significant other. All the happy vibes will have ripple effects on other areas of your life too.

2. Be aware of negative self-talk. Sure, some of us simply have self-deprecating senses of humor. But Keryl says that talking crap about yourself -- even as a joke -- slowly programs you for failure and unhappiness. She advises not to say anything about yourself that you wouldn’t say to your spouse, parent or child.

3. Lose the guilt. Keryl says the happiest and most magnetic people you know make a habit of giving themselves a break instead of a guilt trip when they mess up or feel they’ve disappointed someone. In other words, forgive yourself and the rest will follow.

4. Exercise. This one should be a no-brainer, but we often forget that working out not only gets our bodies fit, but whips our minds and emotions into shape too. If you hate hitting the gym, Keryl advises pursuing an activity you enjoy, like biking, gardening and even having more sex. Endorphins, baby!

5. Take a time-out. Always feel like you’re hustling? Your schedule can only be overextended if you let it be. Keryl strongly suggests (and we concur) carving out time each day to do nothing but relax. Even a small amount of time to clear your head can make a huge difference.
