Hey Fashionistas and Fashionistos,
Love is something that everyone yearns for whether they admit it or not. It makes you feel warm inside or makes you smile for no reason. It makes you feel like life isn't so bad as long as you have that person by your side. That sounds all good, but what about the love you give to yourself? Is it wholeheartedly there, or is it nonexistent? Do you give more love to others than you do to yourself? That's something to think about daily. Every day that you wake up is a new day to love yourself better than the previous day. It definitely contributes to how you view the person in the mirror and how you navigate through life.
Self-love is a daily practice and something that may need a bit more effort depending on the person. It's all about doing things that make you feel good about yourself. Some of the things I do are reading affirmations, listening to affirmation podcast, and journaling from time to time. For others, self-love may consist of having your me-time, exercising, going to get a mani-pedi, or even going on a solo trip to clear your mind. The focus is to do things that put you in a positive mood and makes you feel good about yourself.
So, if you’re a person that always put people before yourself, try something new and love yourself more today and as the days go on. It will definitely make you value the way you treat yourself and how others treat you. Also, remember that the longest relationship you will ever have is the one with yourself, so nurture it every day.
If you’re interested in the podcasts I listen to, check out Affirmation Pod by Josie Ong, and Optimal Living Daily by Justin Malik on Spotify. If you have any that you recommend comment below.
