Hi everybody!! I'm back! I've been MIA while visiting my Abuela in a Miami, and I know you've been keeping it kind! Remember last weekend when I said:
'From now on, Sundays are officially ME-days (not me "me", "me" you, or more accurately, "me" us.) 😁' ?
Let's consciously take one day out of every week to focus on being kind to ourselves.
Today, while the American people unite in either adoring or abhorring the 51st #SuperBowlSunday festivities, i want you to make sure you have some fun. Laugh. Chat. Eat. Scream at the TV. Or do none of that. Enjoy your evening. Indulge in what YOU enjoy. Be good to you. You can be with #family and still have fun, hahaha, no. Seriously.
If the Super Bowl's not your thing and you're stuck watching or you've been cooking all day and are ready for a nap, believe that you can still have a nice night and be good to yourself. What can you do to make the night better for you? I don't mean "be selfish and everyone else, be damned, mwa haha!" I mean what can you do to enjoy this evening more?
What am I doing?
Well, to be honest, I'm not a #football 🏈 fan (sorry guys, I'm more a #PuppyBowl kind of fool) but I AM a huuuge fan of the advertising!!!
(Like just now, I loved the talking celebrity high school yearbook photos, followed by #ChristopherWalken and #JustinTimberlake 😂🤣, wait... Humpty Dumpty in the hospital!! Hahahhaaaaa) aaand I'm always interested in the halftime show, #LadyGaga yay! So I'm joining my boys in the Livingroom.
My husband (a native Bostonian) and my son are vested in this game. Their #NewEnglandPatriots are playing the #AtlantaFalcons. Big night! My son is sick, so we're keeping it low key and, most importantly, hanging out together. John threw a log in the fireplace (ambiance,) we ordered food (necessary,) and I'm surrounded by all my fun "because of you, I can tolerate sports in the background" stuff (aka: Zentangle® tiles and pens to plan next weeks class)
Point is, by being kind to myself and making sure I'm having fun too, I really get to enjoy an activity I wouldn't normally enjoy with my family. I laugh with them during the commercials, boo when I hear them boo, consume mass quantities of snackage with them, while i work on something I love.
I share the experience with them and am kind to myself.
Try it. #loveyourself
