Are you able to love yourself the way you want others to love you?

My initial thoughts I am not sure…
I stumbled, sat back, and pondered. Well obviously yes, but why not a confident yes!
The bottom line is loving yourself is such a work in progress and a journey within itself. Appreciating, loving, and caring for the person in the mirror looking back at you, despite the flaws, insecurities, decisions, and lessons!

Love yourself! It is the daily habits that we cultivate into our souls’ beauty.

Some of us have been taught to give away what we do not have for ourselves, fill cups when ours is broken and put ourselves last in all scenarios for the greater good. You know, to be among the likes of others.

But when the music stops, the curtains close, the stage lights shut off and the audience is gone. Ask yourself again, “ Are you able to love yourself the way you want others to love you?”

There is a special relationship that we owe our inner self that is most precious of all. Without that, you cannot pour into anyone else.

So my answer is yes, I can, but I have an immense amount of work to do! No one can come along outright and make us happy or love us efficiently if we do not develop a love deep inside ourselves. It is self-love, self-care, and our right to be selfish when we need to.

The energy we put into ourselves radiates to others! So good luck with the small things, the lifestyle changes that help you become healthier, motivated, confident, and driven to be your best. This way as you ask yourself again! You will not stumble the way I did!

Honor the promises you made to yourself.
Keep pressing and Keep pushing. Every day matters and each moment counts.
Slow progress is STILL progress!

Are you able to love yourself the way you want others to love you?
