When was the last time that you treated yourself like a Goddess?

When did you last do something nice for you; not something for your family, for your home, for your children or partner (if you have them)?

I’ve been doing a lot of work with and around female entrepreneurs, businesswomen, colleagues, and family – and one thing that they ALL have in common is that they don’t take enough time for themselves.

Self-care has become a ‘dirty’ word.

“Oh, I can’t, what will people think of me?”

For the sake of your sanity, don’t fall in the comparison trap!

You know the one I mean.

You’re idly flicking through Facebook and you see photos of someone from school that seems to have lost a lot of weight & looks good.

You see a former roommate in a job they love with loads of money.

You see people with the ‘perfect’ relationship (oh come on, we all know there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all perfect relationship).

I had a fantastic weekend at the IGNITE! Damsels in Success conference the weekend before last (23 & 24 November), so I thought I’d share a little of it with you.

I’m still typing up my notes that I took from the weekend, as I know otherwise I’ll go back to review them and wonder what on earth I wrote (my handwriting wasn’t exactly the neatest as I scribbled down notes).

Anyway, I digress.

Firstly, I should explain what the event was all about, and to do that, I’ll let Lucie explain:

Afternoon!

What do you do when life has you down, and you just can’t seem to get yourself motivated to do anything?

My preferred choice is to go to bed with a cup of tea & a cat (or 2!) and sleep it all off.  But of course that isn’t always practical.

So instead, why not plaster on an attitude of gratitude?
