What are some of the things you do for others to show them that you care? Perhaps cook a delicious and healthful meal? What about drawing a bath for your loved one?

How many times have we encouraged a friend or relation to relax, get some rest, take the day off?

And how is it that we can never seem to give ourselves that same advice, let alone permission to do something so seemingly decadent?

Below, I've got 10 easy ways to start showing the number 1 person in your life a little more love.

10 TIPS for a Life Well Loved:

1) Get more sleep. Probably the most important thing you can do for yourself every single day. Really! Aim for that 8 hours and note just how great you feel the next day!

2) Wash your face. Go ahead, let it out. Laughter is great for the soul! Seriously, girl wash your face! Take the time, Create ceremony with these daily rituals. They not only feel great but make for a sweet complexion!

3) Read a Book. Whether it's romance or historical, take some down time away from the electronics and let your mind wander into the world of imagination!

4) Stretch your limits. The most important relationship we have is the one we create with ourselves. Take yourself on a special date. Stretch beyond the norm and experience what it's like to spend time with you!

5) Feed yourself. Just as important as reading the good stuff, feed yourself the good stuff. When we love ourselves from the inside out, life becomes easier and more enjoyable. Bring vitality to your life in all aspects.

6) Take a Hike. Or a walk. Listen to the birds chirping, smell the flowers, see the clouds. Taking time to breathe in the fresh air and simply, through the act of looking up, we can begin to recognize the gravity of gratitude in which we can live.

7) Send a thank you card. Remember that last time you received a thank you card and how great it made you feel? Why not do that for a friend? Handwrite a few special words on a lovely piece of paper and mail it off to your best girlfriend.

This small act of love will return to you ten fold.

8) Light a candle. Seriously. Go light that Volcano candle you got from Anthropology RIGHT NOW! What are you waiting for? You have earned the right to LOVE your life and it's these loving gestures that make us available to our loved ones.

9) Buy yourself a bouquet of flowers. Or maybe cut some flowers from your garden. Prep a vase and filled it with those gorgeous blooms and fill your house with

fragrance and beauty.

10) Play your favorite music. Not in the car. Not on the treadmill. In the house. With no one around. Turn it up loud. And don't be afraid to dance in your living room. I do! It's just about ME. Loving the melody that sometimes gets lost in the day to day.
