People often take self love as loving how you look and whatnot, and although physically liking yourself is self love, I feel many people often only focus on that physical aspect. Self love isn’t just about your face and body, it’s about recognizing the love within yourself, it’s about handling a tough situation good and thinking to yourself, “wow I handled that very good” , or waking yourself up during the tired morning and thinking, “wow I’m so strong“.
this could very well just be self awareness, but often times it’s hard to be aware of the accomplishments you make, so why not recognize them and love them.

dedicate your day to only radiating, feeling and expressing love toward people, things, thoughts, ideas etc. start easy - literally take inventory of people you love, your pets, favorite bands and restaurants. look around your home and love all your belongings. go outside and love the bus driver and the person in line ahead of you at the deli. at some point that love goes back inward!
how you feel about yourself is how you feel about others AND vice versa. if you are critical and judgmental of people you will do it to yourself. if you approach people with a general “oh i like them! they’re nice” approach you will feel that way about yourself too. if you struggle with self esteem and viewing yourself negatively the first step is to love others and seek out their good qualities and that will become your mindset toward yourselfÂ
feeling love / positivity is a muscle and a habit that you need to reinforce, but it is really hard to feel that inwardly if you are frustrated and annoyed with external factors.

That sentence is so daunting. I can’t help but to cringe away at the thought. But I really do, deep down. To bring self love to the forefront has been difficult and nearly nonexistent for years. I wonder if people love themselves all of the time.

i am always commended for my resilience and the strength/persistence of my love even after i experience awful things. i am always told the way i love unconditionally is unbelievable and beautiful and that the amount i sacrifice for the people i love is almost to a fault. i have heard "you are so loving and sweet... it makes me feel terrible" so many times in the last few weeks i can feel it burning into my skin.
it is finally time to start showing that love to myself and to the women/friends in my life. it is time to start offering to grab myself water or dinner when i feel i need it. it is time to start moving my schedule around to find time for myself and the humans in my life who respect my time. it is time to do myself tiny and huge favors alike in an attempt to show a fraction of how much i care. it is time to do my favorite things with myself and the people who have shown me respect. it is time for me
