Love begins with you. You can’t fully love someone else without fully loving yourself. Start today. It doesn’t have to be overwhelming. You don’t have to turn your life upside down. Begin with something simple like taking 15 minutes of quiet time for yourself. Choose not to eat fast food for lunch. Take the stairs halfway to your office and use the elevator the rest of the way. Forgive yourself for one thing you said or did that you know was hurtful. Forgive a person for something they may have said or done so you can let go of that negative, toxic energy. Ask yourself when you wake up, “what do I want to do today?”
These are simple ideas you can apply immediately to begin a more loving relationship with yourself. To love or not love. It’s your choice.
Until next time, remember, your only purpose is to be happy.
