Some synonyms for indulgence: satisfaction, gratification, fulfillment. When I think of ‘indulgences’ I think mostly about eating food I don’t normally eat and staying up late to watch TV, which I also rarely do. But what I noticed this week, while the kids have been at sleep-away camp, is how those specific indulgences actually don’t leave me feeling satisfied, gratified or in the least bit fulfilled.

This kind of brings me back to my point in Pyramid Theory, that making the right choice for me, the healthy choice, always wins out in the end...even if I'm on 'vacation'. Only being responsible for myself while the kids are away already feels like an indulgence that fosters incredible peace in my days. And there are a lot of other things I’ve been doing that actually leave me feeling very satisfied, gratified and fulfilled. I think it's time that I redefine what I consider to be indulgent.

Do you have things you do that feel like an indulgence but once you do them you don’t feel so great? Do you have healthy indulgences that make you feel better about yourself? Please consider leaving a comment below, I’d love to hear from you.

I would totally classify Focus Friday as a healthy indulgence
