LOVE YOU

Self-love is one of the most important things you could ever master. The way you feel about yourself affects how you believe everyone else feels about you, treats you, whether you believe you deserve greatness, whether you succeed or sabotage, how you view others, and basically anything and everything else you can think of.

How do you really feel about yourself? Be honest. Do you believe you are better than everyone? Do you believe you are less than most? Where does your self worth fall? Do you take care of your health? Do you see through your goals? Are you in relationships that feel good? Do you feel like you can be honest or do you hold back because maybe you’re wrong or your truth will hurt someone else?

Loving yourself means being kind with and to yourself, it means letting go of perfectionism, it means failing and being ok with it, it means making choices that serve you best even if others don’t agree. You are going to be with you every single day for the rest of your life. Don’t you think you should really like you? Don’t you think you should have your own back and listen to yourself? Don’t you think you should have a high opinion of you?

Many of us were taught not to be ego-driven. Not to think too highly of ourselves because it’s rude. Many people self-sabotage in order to help those around them feel better about themselves. All flawed ways of thinking! Just because you think highly of yourself does not mean you think poorly of others. It doesn’t mean you think you’re better. And limiting who you are in order to make others feel better about themselves will never work either. They still won’t like themselves and now you don’t like you either.

So what do you do? LOVE YOU! Be one of those people who thinks very highly of themselves. Be one of those people who finds the best in others because you’re looking to love them too. Make choices that serve you because if you don’t look out for you, who will?

When you care about yourself the people who surround you will become a wonderful addition to your life. The relationships you have will be based in love and your desire and ability to give will exponentially increase!

What do you love to do? What do you love to think about? Do yourself a favor today and do those things. Make a list of all the things you love to do and then start checking them off.

XO,

Dana
