Taking Self Love As A Priority - #250
Love is the foundation of all things and it is always good when you love and you're loved back but it is great when we love ourselves first before loving another person.
Most times, we neglect our self love because we get carried away with caring about the people we hold dear to our hearts and at times even the people we cared for and loved end up betraying us or end up not showing same love back to us.
Starting to love ourselves is a big journey of its own which must be embarked on with great decision if we want to scale through.
The first thing to do in the situation of loving oneself is reflecting on our wins from the small ones, not just the big ones alone should be recognized and celebrated but for every small wins we have as well should be celebrated just as much as we celebrate the big ones.
In some situations we think there are some things we've done in the past which we think we can't forgive ourselves for whenever we remember them and this has caused us losing the interest of loving ourselves probably because we want to punish ourselves.
The fact remains that we can't possibly do everything right and we are prone to making mistakes just like every other person so we should learn to forgive ourselves, letting go of all the guilts and whatever shame it brought to us.
We should ensure that we appreciate what and who we are and not falling into the critics or body shaming by people.
Appreciate yourself and people will appreciate you as well.
Looking after our health and also ensuring that we eat healthy, guarding ourselves against any form of disease caused by imbalanced diet. Learning about the things we love to do, what we desire to do and doing those things to give us the inner peace and joy we deserve.
All these might not be easy to achieve at once but we can take it a step at a time to ensure loving ourselves even when no one is able to put us through or tell us how.
I'll be dropping my pen here and thanks for reading through 🤗

Thanks for sharing your experience self love 💕 is important. When you have love for self it will move you to have love for others

Of course
Showing self love is very essential during this trying times. People are selfish about showing love, their are cases of betrayal, deceit, lies, and heartbreaks. To avoid being victim to all these misfortunes, it is important we show genuine love to ourselves and value our little or big possession.
Thank you for sharing.

Loving oneself is very essential in this loveless world, where there are cases of betrayal, lies, deceit, and other misfortunes that accompanies it.
Thank you for sharing.
My warm regards.
Yes oo... When you love yourself the betrayals of men won't go far in hurting you
Exactly
We just need to accept the fact that we can't change our past but we have control over our present and how we want our future to be and if we don't want our future to look like our past, we have to let go of our past hurts and embrace the present
Hmmm that's deep there... We no longer have power on the past but the present and future
Thanks for your comment
Yeah...
Yes we need to prioritize our self
Exactly we need to put ourselves first.
