1. Buy yourself flowers. The most beautiful ones you could find, the most colorful ones which could make you smile a lot.
2. Have no one to go to movies with but you reeeally want to see this movie? So what?! Go by yourself, it might feel uncomfortable at first but afterwards you will feel like you've achieved something really good for you.
3. Buy yourself coffee before going to classes or work.
4. Take a walk for two hours in the nicest part of your city or in a beautiful park that you've always wanted to visit.
5. Spend your whole Saturday rolling in your bed watching all the movies you've had for ages on your to-watch list.
6. Cancel all of your appointments and meetings and read a book curled up in your bed.
7. Go get a professional manicure.
8. Before going out, put a red lipstick on. Even if you're spending your day at home, put it on anyways, it will feel good seeing your reflection in the mirror with this beautiful lipstick on.
9. Have a bubble bath.
10. Go to the nicest bakery and buy yourself that one cupcake which makes your mouth water while looking at it. Then eat it slowly.
11. Listen an album by someone who has an amazing singing voice and sing it as loudly as you can. It doesn't matter if you can't sing really well, it's even more fun this way!
12. Clean your closet. You haven‘t worn it in three years or it still has a label on it? You won‘t wear it anytime soon, give it away to someone who will.
13. Watch your favorite movie. Pick the one that makes you feel great. Don't be ashamed of the choice of it, it can be as girly as you want.
14. Take a beautiful piece of paper, a beautiful pen and spend some quality time writing a long letter to yourself. Be very specific about what you love about yourself, write compliments. Smile afterwards.
15. Look in the mirror, straight into your eyes and smile while doing so. It can feel uncomfortable, but just try. It might feel good after being uncomfortable.
16. Book yourself a trip. You deserve it and money spent for a trip is money spent well.
17. Decide once and for all to remove all the negative people from your life, old friendships that no longer serve you and move on to a happier life.
18. Have a big glass of your favorite wine.
19. Slow down and breathe deeply. Breathe in, breathe out, let air fill your lungs.
20. Put on your nicest pajamas, put a crazy amount of the body butter that smells incredibly good and slip in your bed with fresh bedding. Have the best sleep.
21. Stretch your body. You know how cats stretch so beautifully all the time? They also seem very happy! Do this, it feels wonderful.
22. Write a long gratitude list with all the things that work in your life, that are amazing. Then read it again and smile about it.
23. Have a little dance party in your underwear.
24. Watch an entire show of your new (or old) favorite show without feeling guilty.
25. Stand tall, raise your head and walk with confidence whenever you go.
26. You know this wonderful "friend" called comparison? Screw it! Believe that you are wonderful just as you are. Because you really are.
27. Make yourself that one meal you know how to make really well, you know that one you could eat 24/7 and eat with pleasure.
28. Spend some time meditating. 10 minutes is also good.
29. Start looking at your body with love. You won't get a different body, so treat the one you have with as much love as you possibly can. Appreciate all the quirks it has.
30. Book yourself a massage or spend a day at the spa. You really deserve this.
31. Call your friend you haven‘t seen in forever because studies, work, and life got in the way and just talk with them. Set up a coffee day, it‘s even better.
32. Light some candles, dim the lights and read books or magazines. But not those ones about celebrities and gossip.
33. Write in your journal. Let your feelings out on that piece of paper. If you don‘t have a journal (which you totally should, by the way), take a piece of paper and it‘ll do as well.
34. Ask for help if you need. There is no shame or weakness in doing so, in fact, it only shows your strength.
35. Believe that you are good enough just as you are. And that wherever you are in life, it is where you have to be.
36. Clean your laptop. Junk has the quality to pile up and there really are hundreds of old documents or pictures you don't need anymore. Delete them, your laptop will thank you.
37. Do that one thing you've always wanted to. Sign for a cooking class, start learning a new language, buy a photography course on-line.
38. Hop into your or your friend's car and go for a little road trip to a different city for a day.
39. Eat fresh fruit and vegetables.
40. Wear your nicest dress or skirt.

42. Start your day with uplifting music and get out of your bed with a smile on your face even if it's 6 am and dark outside.
43. Forgive yourself for your mistakes you've done in the past.
44. Watch cat videos on Youtube. There's a whole different world when you type "cats" on Youtube and it's pretty wonderful.
45. Take a long nap. Children are allowed to do this every day, why don't we let ourselves do this? It's a wonderful thing!
46. Eat your favorite flavor of ice cream. You don't have to be sad to do this and cry into your bowl of ice cream, you can
47. Play with your pet! You will make them happy this way and you will feel super good as well.
48. Put a tiara on you've had since your birthday from years ago and spend your day wearing it and feeling like a princess. Because you are.

I love this! I have been feeling quite stressed recently, so today has been my relax day! You can't beat a nice bath, and just being able to watch Netflix etc.
