- There is such a thing as face soap and using it is better than using whatever bar soap is laying around.
- Face moisturizer is a thing. I should use it.
- People actually put sunscreen on their faces everyday, and I should, too.
- Hair conditioner and/or treatment, when used, will make my hair look like hair, rather than Einstein's frizzy fro.
- It's possible to buy clothes that fit and flatter. I no longer need to wear donated, cast-off, or men's clothing and shoes.
- Makeup has expiration dates.
Things I can now do without feeling guilty:
- Read books
- Surf the internet
- Watch TV
- Not feel I must be busy every single second of the day
- Buy good quality food
- Drink a glass of wine with dinner
- Get my hair cut by a professional
- Not pray
Things that other people do, but I have not been able to do yet. Either such things are not options for me, or I am not courageous enough:
- Spa day (I hear that's a thing.)
- Get a massage
- Shop for fun and buy stuff for myself
- Eat at a restaurant or coffeeshop by myself
- Go to a movie by myself
- Hang out with friends
- Go to a bar or other drinking venue
- Girls' night out
- Go on vacation by myself or with someone for whom I am not acting as a tour guide
- Stop worrying about money
