How Much Do You Truly Love Yourself?
What would your honest answer be...
Do you love yourself fully?
Or do you pick when to love yourself based on..
- if other people like you?
- your accomplishments?
- whether you finished your to-do list for the day?
- your appearance?
- other people's emotions and behaviors toward you?
How much do you truly love yourself?
Think about the people in your life that you love and respect.. your
family, friends, partner, your pet. How do you treat them and show up
for them?
You're kind, forgiving whent they make a mistake, patient, loving, you
respect their boundaries, you make sure they take care of themselves and
their well-being.. Do you give yourself the same kindness and love that
you give to others? Are you your own best friend? Do you take time for
self-care in your days and weeks? Do you celebrate yoursel? Or do you
think it's not a priority because deep down you don't believe you're a
priority?
Loving yourself is not just a mindset, it's a lifestyle. It is one of the most important keys to feeling happier and living a truly fulfilling life.
And have you ever thought about what self-love means for you?
It can mean different things to all of us as we are all unique in our own way. It could be setting boundaries, prioritizing yourself, being nice to yourself, believing in yourself, saying "No" more often, listening to your body, taking time for yourself in your day, taking care of your health. Making time for self-care isn't selfish. It just means that you are extending the same love and kindess that you give to others to yourself too.
I know it's easy to tell someone "love yourself more" and it's a
completely different story to actually do that. There's no magic formula
to love yourself that fits everyone, because our stories are unique, our
personalities and upbringings are different. That's why no matter where
you are on your self-love journey right now, I'm here to share my
experiences and lessons with you in case it helps you.
