What are you doing for your birthday?

This simple question prompted me to think about how much I downplay my birthday, not because of my age (I\\u2019ll be 38 on Monday), but because of this season of life. It feels like there is no time for me to plan a birthday event for myself.

Of course, I could make time, but my default is to prioritize the other 20 things going on in my life.

So, on this birthday episode, I am going to share 9 ways that you might think about celebrating yourself, especially on your birthday. This will include things that OTHER people can do for you, if you\\u2019d let them

1. Day off from work.
2. Birthday dinner with your local friends
3. Hotel Night away (check out Episode 32: Mom\\u2019s Night Away--My Secret Self-Care Weapon)
4. Take a trip (check out Episode #50: Life Design with Lauren Lambrecht)
5. Self-Care Day
6. Take yourself to a Movie
7. Learn something new / take a class
8. Buy that thing you\\u2019ve been wanting...yes, go ahead.
9. Throw yourself a party
