To the person that neglects the little things that make you feel good, only to regret it later and have it take a greater toll than if you would have just taken the time to do it in the first place…
Sometimes its easier to skip the workout to do something else more important, to skip the deep conditioner during your hair wash regimen, to leave the chipped nail polish on, to skip marinating the meat before cooking- to save time.
Sometimes you don’t buy that “thing” because you don’t “need” it or you could probably use that money on something else.

In reality, when you skip those things, you spend more time wishing you hadn’t skipped.
It sometimes can affect your work ethic and mood because now you have to eat unflavored chicken for the whole week or look at your ugly and old manicure or keep carrying that torn bag because you thought you would save the money but ended up wasting it on something else anyway.
Is it really worth it to skip the little things that would make life just a little bit better? Would those extra 15 minutes or an hour a day really make that much of a difference?
I’m just as guilty as anyone about this. I’ve been self-conscious about the chipped polish on my nails for over a week because I was too lazy to take it off! It doesn’t make sense.
You know the ripple affect??

The Ripple Effect, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is a spreading, pervasive, and usually unintentional effect or influence…. One small drop of water can have an affect on the entire puddle. The little things may not matter alone, but when put into place, it will can make an impact on your well being, family, and surroundings!

Its okay to put aside time and money for your own personal enjoyment. Keep stuttin if you can!
