She believes, “Investing in yourself will multiply into a greater investment for your health, wellness and happiness on a daily basis. Get a massage, take a yoga class, go for a hike, enjoy time in a garden, read a book, savor an ice cream cone. Whatever you choose, be present, be mindful, and give yourself permission to enjoy the experience.”
