Do you spend a lot of time caring for others in your life? Do you struggle to find time to care for yourself? You need a Treat Yo Self Day!

This day was created by the show Parks & Recreation. It’s a day when you take time to recharge and focus on yourself.

It’s hard to be at your best with friends, family, or at work when you’re feeling tired and run down. Take an occasional day to recharge so that you can be at your best when you’re helping others. You deserve it!!

See below for some ideas on how to pamper yourself on Treat Yo Self Day.

1. Enjoy your coffee or tea

Make some coffee or tea at home or go to a coffee house. And then just sit and enjoy it! Take time to savor the moment.

I have a Nespresso machine at home. It’s like luxury in a cup. Feels like I’m treating myself every single day!

2. Schedule a spa treatment

Get a pedicure, manicure, facial, or massage. Schedule one appointment or make a whole day of it.

Spa treatments are the ultimate way to pamper yourself.

3. Read a book or magazine (or watch a movie!)

I love reading, but it feels like there’s never enough time to stop and read during the day. Reading is a great way to take time for yourself.

I recommend Shonda Rhimes’ Year of Yes. It’s hilarious and reminds you to occasionally focus on growing yourself instead of always focusing on what others need.

If you’d rather watch a movie, put on an old favorite movie, grab a comfy blanket, and enjoy!

4. Take a long bath

When you’re always rushing around, a bath can feel like a luxury. A long bath is a great way to treat yourself.

5. Get some exercise

Can’t seem to find the time to exercise? On Treat Yo Self Day, take a walk, go on a run, or take a yoga class. Anything that makes you feel like you’re pampering yourself!

6. Spend time with friends

Enlist friends to join you on Treat Yo Self Day! They can join you for the whole day or just meet you for part of it.

You can go to brunch, see a movie, go on a hike – anything that both you and your friends love to do!

Check out activities on TripAdvisor to see if there are any fun, discounted activities that you and your friends can try.

7. Enjoy a glass a wine

When was the last time you sat down and just enjoyed a glass a wine without interruption? Take time to savor some wine (or non-alcoholic cider).

I’m a big fan of the single-serving sizes of wine from Vinebox. Every time I get a box, it feels like Treat Yo Self Day!

8. Take a nap

Oh, wow…do I love naps. But naps are hard to come by. I highly recommend taking a nap on Treat Yo Self Day.

9. Order In

My personal Treat Yo Self Day involves absolutely no time in the kitchen. So, I order in from my favorite restaurant.

But if cooking is therapeutic for you, make sure to include it in your perfect Treat Yo Self Day.

10. Keep Treat Yo Self Day going all year!

If you take some time for yourself every day, you’re less likely to get run down. When you’re tired, you can’t devote as much energy as you’d like to the things that are important to you.

One way to pamper yourself every day is to use services that save you time on errands or household tasks, like a meal kit delivery service or grocery delivery. The less time you spend on these tasks, the more time you have to focus on the things that are the most important to you.

I hope you get a chance soon to have a Treat Yo Self Day! It’s a great way to recharge and pamper yourself. You deserve it!!
