Life is very challenging and we are often occupied with so many things that seem to drag us down that we forget to live in the moment. We are more concerned about loving others than loving our own self but we forget that in order to truly love others, you must first learn how to love yourself.
Life has made us our biggest critique, constantly comparing ourselves with others and never taking a moment to appreciate how far we've come. Every little success deserves to be celebrated. Every little victory even the mundane things like not eating junk food a whole week.
When you show yourself love, you become happier. Love doesn't have to come from someone else. It has to come from you first. Sometimes the love we seek isn't out there.
You just have to understand that life is too short to spend your days not doing the things that make you happy or fulfilled. You don't even need to break a bank to show yourself just how much you love yourself. Pampering oneself, spending quality time doing what makes you happy, going for a massage and even buying oneself gifts or a vacation are ways you can show love to yourself.
As for me, sometimes I take myself shopping and spend good money. Afterall, I am the one working so hard for the money. Other times, I take myself out on a dinner date or a movie date and I always feel so satisfied at the end of the day.
Here is a little poem on self love
Time is passing
Life is fleeting
Every day you lose yourself
To the little struggles you bear
Time gets tough and you get tougher
Just to keep body and soul together
You forget, that all is vanity
Drop the mountains on your back
And the troubles in your mind
Think less about the oceans
There will always be new ones to cross
Take a moment dear one
Sing with the birds; dance to your rhythm
Smell the flowers; feel the ocean
Dance in the rain; Colour your rainbow
Life is but one; Live it to the fullest.
💕Thanks for stopping by💕
Haha... The Dettol commercials from the ol' days just flashed on reading the title.
Self love!!
It is so underrated and taken for granted. How can you give what you don't have??
You cannot give love if you do not have nice for yourself. It just does not work.
Although, self love can be challenging to imbibe, when you have (fake) lives of others that portray otherwise.
But one just has to find it and own it.
Oh yeah! I loved that advert as a baby 😉😉 if you don't take care of yourself, who will? Same with love. It can be challenging but once we feel it is deserved, there is no stopping us. Nice to see here. By the way, have you seen my latest post? I should check out your blog tomorrow. Been a while I read from you.
Nooo...I'm off to it now.
Loving ourselves is what we miss out on most times because we are focused in meeting up with the standard of what people want and not what we want.
Also, some people fall easy to intimidation and when that happens we try to be like them or do things to feel among when we can just be ourselves and find out own true happiness.
Nice piece by the way
Exactly. I love the words "be yourself and find your true happiness". Thank you so much for stopping by.
