What is love? What is self-love? Why do we put so much value into what others might think about us? Why do we, instead, lower our own self-value to meet others standards of us? Why not allow ourselves to go beyond the limits of the possible standards that we think others are setting for us, and realize that there are no limits? Why can’t we just see our own light? Why can’t we just love ourselves, easily and give ourselves as much grace and kindness as we give others?
< always thinking >
Maybe we should take some baby steps each day and practice being more grateful for being unique.
As I am up late, again, I am thinking about all the things I have been trying to do to make sure I am taking care of my needs. Then the days come, that are busy, and my day gets flipped all around. On those days, it’s important to just be grateful that you know what it is that you value most.
You know what it takes to get back into your self-care routines. You know what you need to do, when a day gets busy, you prioritize. Maybe the bed has to wait to get made. Maybe a meditation has to be in the evening. It’s okay. We do what we need to do. Life goes on. Still, you find your way “back home” to yourself.
You learn more each day, about what you need to be happier. To feel more whole. To be a giver of love, you must be able to fill yourself up as well. To be a human being, you must learn to take time to recharge and care for yourself. As we are taught to “be busy” we must learn to stop and “be still”. Allow silence. Allow space. Allow some time to stop being so busy. ![🤍]()
I hope that whomever reads this can feel filled with love. I hope you can find simple things to do each day that make you feel good about yourself. I hope you find peace. You are worthy of all the good there is in this life.
