Relationship with yourself

I have been doing a lot of work at CU about relationships and one of the relationships that people tend to fail to mention is the relationship with the self. When I talk about relationships, people often think of romantic partners, family, friends, co-workers, roommates, etc., but there is hardly ever talk of relationship with ourselves.
So I want to ask you all how you create and maintain a healthy relationship with yourself. In other words, what do you do for self-care and to continually put ourselves as our first priority.  I didn't start thinking about my relationship with myself until a couple years ago when someone specifically asked me how I take care of myself and if I am my first priority. Recently I have forgotten to focus on myself but I really want to get back to taking care of myself. So how do you all take care of yourselves? How do you nurture this relationship with yourself?
I think a lot of taking care of ourselves is also making sure that we do not talk negatively to ourselves. I know that I am my worst critic and can be meaner to myself than anyone else might be. So I try to watch those negative thoughts but it can get really hard at times. I'm also making sure that I go to hula and do things that make me feel relaxed, but getting caught up with everyday tasks has made it harder for me to pinpoint those things that make me feel relaxed.
Well so how do you all take care of yourselves and make sure that you are your #1 priority? I could use some tips!

miss u guys!

Topic #1 - Flirting

Okay so the Chinese regime has ended and now you are all added as authors. So please feel free to post as much as you want, which can include pictures, rants, mean comments or venting...you know, the fun stuff.
The first topic I have been talking about with other people is the topic of flirting. How do you flirt? How do you show someone that you are interested in them? When is flirting appropriate and inappropriate? When is it crossing the line when you are dating someone else?
My friend and I were talking about how girls use flirting to get what the want, win an argument, get free food, etc. I have never been able to flirt for free food so if you all can tell me how to do it, it would save me a lot of money in NYC.

Let's discuss

Hello fellow sarcastic jerks...I've decided to start a blog for us to discuss various topics and give our opinions that will eventually lead us to hate each other. It's difficult for us to have those familiar late night chats now that we are all living in various cities and busy with everyday life so hopefully, this will be a good place for us to discuss, be jerks to each other or just share random updates about ourselves. What do you think? We can start with random questions or topics and hopefully, other people will respond besides just me.
Due to the my job, I am specifically interested in connections with other people and how we all form these connections. This blog will be one way that we can all stay connected. Or if you choose to ignore it, then it will be a way to end all of our friendships for good. YAY! Right now, it looks like I am the only one that can publish posts, so feel free to email me your topics, questions, ramblings so we can discuss and I'll post it on the blog.
Let's start this off with some good ol' sarcasm and randomness...
