I love a good bubble bath. Just to put scented candles around the bathroom & crate my own spa atmosphere with soft music. I hear that there is some advantage to using Epsom salts.

I try to run at least 6 miles each day. It doesn't make me feel nurtured, but it reduces my stress level and makes me feel like I'm in control of my life, which takes away my desire to feel nurtured.

Here's a short list of things that come to mind that I like to do, that make me feel 'nurtured'.

I am often tired when I come home from work (get up at 5a to start the day) and have found if I sleep when I am tired I don't have that urge to raid the frige.

Turn up the heat, and the music, I love to dance around the house.

I love to rent movies and watch them on my laptop, sitting in my cozy love seat.

Cleaning out almost any cabinet/closet or small area makes me feel good. I like to have my closet all 'arranged' and straigtened up so I can see everything just right (best done after laundry).

I like to brush my hair and wash and condition it w/ my favorite conditioner.

I love facial masks and like to get my husband sit w/ me while I give him a facial.

I think the hard part is nurturing yourself at work w/o food….work can be stressfull and I usually cant just get up and take a walk or read a good book….
