This is more easily said than done in a world where we have been raised to put others first. As a result. you might still be working through the belief that says self-love equals selfishness.

During our life, we learn the importance of success: how to work hard and make money. But we can appear in the world as empty vessels, looking for affirmation from those around us. We rely on others to fill us up with love and kind thoughts, yet we are so wired to have negative thoughts about ourselves that we easily forget the compliments we receive, and cling to the negative assessment given by some random individual.

 

Throughout the day, we invite you to revisit this quote. Below are a few questions you may wish to ask yourself, and those who journal may find them especially useful:

• Do I love myself unconditionally?
• To what degree do I need the love and affirmation of those around me?
• Do I still love myself unconditionally, despite my faults?

 

 

Best wishes, and have a great day!
