How to be Good to Yourself?

Planning to go to Whistler with James and other friends recently results in me adding another item, a pair of snow boot, in my shopping list. Considering changing my cell phone to monthly plan and it turned out that I cannot find even one plan that meets my requirements: no contract, no connection fee, no activation fee, and compatible in other phones provided by other telecommunication company.

Babe always told me to be good to myself, and this makes me wonder how I treat myself. Do I treat myself well? How to treat myself well? To some extent, I think this might be a matter of definition.

Sometimes I thought buying yourself whatever you want is a way of treating yourself well. Following this logic, I don't know if I can treat myself well indeed. Very often I am content with my material life, which means that I don't think there's much I want to buy. As there's not much that I want to buy myself, I seem not able to treat myself well. Besides, sometimes what I want is beyond what money can buy. Under this kind of circumstance, how can I treat myself well?

Then some people may say, there might be something wrong with my definition of treating yourself well. So can anyone tell me, what's the definition of treating yourself well? Probably this will work: try to make yourself happy and healthy. Embarrassed to say, sometimes I don't know if I'm happy or not, nor what I did now, posting this article at 1:40am, will bring me health. But no worries, I just do this once in a while. I do know how to be healthy, and for sure I will do as told.

So maybe let's go back to the topic. Am I really mean to myself? I don't think so, at least this is not what I thought to myself for most of the time. What some people though I'm mean to myself is just because I don't have much desire in everything. I can lead a very decent life, having everything merely meet my basic needs. That's all. Do I envy other people leading luxurious life? Maybe sometimes I do, yet I know very often I do despise that kind of life. I want my life more meaningful, and that's one thing fore sure.

So what is being meaningful? I guess that's another matter of definition. And I think now it's time for me to go to bed. Anyways, it's not that hurry to figure this out. and things have its own priority, isn't it?
