They say a woman’s work is never done. And with their crazy schedules and commitments to do so much for others, they sometimes forget that charity starts at home and with yourself.

Perhaps even reading this makes you feel guilty, but it is a fact that needs to be internalized because it will make you stronger and more able to be great for everyone else and in everything you do.

This means that you must take some time to focus on your own inner and outer needs. So instead of fighting the feeling, go with it and in doing so, you will love yourself even more.

Here are some areas where you can be good to yourself and get great dividends for doing so:

Invest in Good Skin Care Products

One of the first things that women tend to neglect when they are really busy is their skin and this is a bad decision because once the skin gets damaged, it can take a long time to repair. And as you get older, you will find that the neglect takes a heavy toll on how you look. There are some things you can put off or aside even, like expensive spa visits, but other things you really need to focus on constantly.

Find a great skincare company with a product line you love and use their products religiously. Companies like Jeunesse have great product lines like Luminesce, Instantly Ageless and NV™ that reduce and eliminate wrinkles, and give your skin a healthy and youthful glow. No matter your age, you will benefit and as you get older, you will be glad you used these products.
Buy a Bottle of Good Wine

Wine is the alcohol that most when choose when they drink. It is a beverage that is tasty and is usually slipped very slow over time. It is also known to cause one to relax and unwind. So buy the wine and find those evenings or afternoons when you can just relax and have a glass. You do not need a special occasion, only the time to enjoy it and if you do not have it, then make the time.
Start Reading Books Again

Remember how you used to spend weeks getting lost in a good book? That feeling where you were transported to another time and place, and you could watch a story unfold about heroes and heroines real or imagined. Not only were those times fun, they also took you away from problems and helped relieve stress. Buy yourself a Kindle reader and get lost in books again. There are always some great books in any genre, that have just gotten published. Join a book club and join the adventure again.

It may take some time to get comfortable with focusing on yourself. This is natural so do not let it deter you from doing it. Remember, a better you is better for everyone. Enjoy yourself and your life.
