splurge

[splurj]

verb:

to indulge oneself in some luxury or pleasure, especially a costly one

Explanation

To splurge is to treat yourself...maybe more than you need to, and definitely more than usual. The word carries a sense of excess, often tied to spending, but it's just as fitting for time, energy, or attention. Whether it's a new outfit or an extra hour of sleep, a good splurge could be the recharge you need.

Example: I decided to splurge on a new pair of shoes.
