　　Make time for you
　　First things first -- if you’re going to take some time to show yourself some appreciation, you need to make time for it. Just like you might schedule brunch with your BFFs or a trip to the gym, schedule date night with yourself.
　　为自己腾出时间
　　首先，如果你要花一些时间来犒劳自己，你需要为此腾出时间。就像你可能要与你最好的朋友一起吃早午餐或去健身房，安排一个与自己的约会之夜。

　　Pamper yourself
　　Who doesn’t love to be pampered? Whether you book a monthly spa treatment, weekly soak in a hot tub after a particularly stressful day, make a point to pamper yourself on the regular. Not only will you give yourself something to look forward to, you’ll be minimizing stress and showing yourself some love! Even curling up with a glass of wine and a good book with your phone turned off and laptop hidden away can be a form of pampering. Just do whatever makes you feel good.
　　宠爱自己
　　谁不喜欢被宠爱？无论你每月预定一个温泉治疗、每周在特别紧张的一天后泡个热水澡，日常生活中重视宠爱自己。不仅你会给自己一些期待，而且会给自己减压且给自己一些爱！甚至把你的手机关掉笔记本藏起来，捧一杯葡萄酒和一本好书蜷缩着也可以是一种纵容。就做那些让你感觉良好的事情。

　　Take yourself out
　　There’s no rule that states you need a date to go to dinner, a movie or an art gallery. If there’s something you want to do or somewhere you want to go, we suggest doing it solo. Take yourself out -- be it to a wine bar you love, a restaurant you’ve been itching to go to or a movie you really want to see. Doing this will build confidence and allow you to feel more independent and at ease with yourself.
　　带自己出去
　　没有规定申明说你需要一个伴侣才能去晚餐、看电影或艺术画廊。如果有什么事你想做或什么地方你想去，我们建议单独行动。带自己出去，在一个你喜欢的酒吧，你一直都很渴望去的餐馆，你真的很想看的一部电影里实现它。这样做将建立自信，并让你感觉到更独立和自在。

　　Try something new
　　It’s easy to try new things with a friend or partner, but solo adventures can be a little trickier. We’re not suggesting a jump out of a plane or a ride on the tallest, scariest roller coaster (unless you want to). We’re talking about trying something you’ve always wanted to do, whether it’s learning a new language, taking up a new sport or enrolling in a continuing education class. Doing something new is a great way to empower yourself and have fun on your own.
　　尝试新事物
　　很容易和朋友或者伴侣去尝试新事物，但独自冒险可能有点棘手。我们不是在建议你跳出飞机或乘坐最高的可怕的过山车(除非你想)。我们谈论的是尝试一些你一直想做的事，不管是学习一种新语言，还是接受一项新运动或参加继续教育班。尝试新事物是让自己变强大和自身获得乐趣的好方法。
