Does it ever feel as though life is just hard?
Do you ever just feel tired of what can sometimes seem like a constant slog?
Do you find yourself beating yourself up for not finishing work on time?
Or for not doing as much as you think you should?
When we are constantly pushing ourselves and berating ourselves, life loses its color. It loses its fun. And ultimately, it becomes somewhat meaningless.
The truth of the matter is that most of us mistreat ourselves or neglect ourselves.

All these activities have one thing in common: they involve looking after ourselves. They involve pampering ourselves, and spoiling ourselves. And they involve learning to be kinder to ourselves and to give ourselves a break.
When you do that, suddenly you will find that life regains its color and that you finally have some energy and enthusiasm again! You find that you have things to look forward to again, and you learn that you actually like yourself again.
Far from making you less productive or complacent, this is actually the key to becoming far MORE effective and efficient.
But where do you begin?
