Indulgence Isn’t a Sign of Failure

Indulgence isn’t a sign of failure; it’s an opportunity to experience pure pleasure. Why do we go right to the negative?
Indulgence isn’t a sign of failure; it’s an opportunity to experience pure pleasure.
Why do we go right to the negative?
Why do we assume the posture of failure?
Why do we beat ourselves up if we indulge?
Why not change your perspective?
Why not look at indulgence – the word and the act – in a new light?
Are you entitled to some indulgences in your life? Yes, you are! (If you indulge every day in every way then the word and the actions lose their meaning – so that’s not the context I’m referring to here.)
Indulge. Luxuriate.
Think about that. Really let the words roll around in your head and on your tongue. Say them out loud. Slowly … Indulge … Luxuriate … Ahhhh. I like it! They even SOUND wonderful and special.
Why not look at an occasional indulgence as a part of your life – a part of your life that you are entitled to?
What can you consciously CHOOSE to indulge in today? Choose something and then savor it. Really soak it in.
Treat yourself. And remind yourself that YOU are worth it!
Enjoy!
