I got this from a women's website that I frequent, but I think some of the ideas work for men as well. Macho can only take you so far, you know. And anyone who buys a bouquet of flowers for himself, well, I'd like to meet you! Have a chat with my husband will you?

Allow yourself some private time each day, even if it is only a half hour.

Take a long walk.

Buy a bouquet of flowers for yourself.

Begin to develop an intimate circle of friends and family.

Turn off the phone and allow your answering machine to pick up your calls.

Put on your favorite music, turn it up loud and dance.

Call your best friend and settle in with a hot cup of tea, for a good long talk.

Snuggle up in bed with a good book.

Sink into your tub for a long, luxurious soak at the end of the day.

Indulge in getting (or giving) a massage.

Snack on your favorite "comfort food."

Remember how you felt when you fell in love with your partner and allow yourself to recreate that feeling.

Write a love letter (to your partner, children, parents, friends...)

Treat yourself to a manicure and a pedicure.

Rent a great video.

Start a gratitude journal and express your thanks on a daily basis.

Go to the beach. Delight and bask in the warming rays of the sun.

Visit your favorite bookstore (the one with comfortable chairs and a coffee shop) and spend the afternoon.
