Take that thought energy that you are using to think about your ex, and put it into thinking about something you could do to treat yourself well..... Today I: ~bought myself a sexy short skirt from Patagonia ~took time out to spend with two good friends (one is also going through a breakup) ~took a cool bath (it was 100 degrees here today!) ~gave myself a facial peel and coated my face in aloe ~lotioned my body ~painted my nails What have you done to treat yourself well today?
