self love

❤️Many people can confuse self love with selfishness, but don’t confuse the two. Self love means caring about your well-being and your happiness.  Without taking care of yourself, I don’t think you will be capable of giving all you want to the ones you love.  It took me a while to realize this and I still am guilty of this quite often. 

Self love can mean different things to different people.  To me, it means taking care of your mind and body as best you can. This can mean acceptance of who you are, forgiving yourself or trusting yourself.  It can mean practicing healthy habits, eating healthy, but also allowing yourself to indulge sometimes with no judgement. It can mean exercising, getting a good night’s rest and listening to what your body needs. 

❤️Practicing self love will help motivate you to make healthier choices and in turn you will be capable to properly care for tour loved ones.

❤️So remember to be kind and gentle not only to the ones you love but also to you.
