A lot of people think self love and self care go hand in hand. When you do one you do the other! WRONG!! You have to love yourself separately. Yes self care is a portion of self love!! But self love is deeper!! It is so rooted in you... or completely gone. I didn’t realize what that meant for many of years!! Wasn’t until I met Elysha I understood it better. This lady is completely out there crazy, down to earth, your best friend & gives the best talks!!! She always says love yourself!!! When I started loving myself again I started understanding what that means!! Love yourself to understand how your feeling, why you feel that way, can you change, should you, is it healthy? Take time for you!! Go on that hike you wanted to, go on that vacation and see that place, make that call you’ve been dreading! Be selfish!! Put yourself first!! Evaluate if it’s important in your life. There’s so many things you can do for self care but mainly love on yourself a little. Get dressed up, put your makeup on to go no where... take a selfie, find your favorite one, tell yourself your beautiful and post it!!
You are an investment to yourself!! If you don’t maintain your investment, add to it, and encourage it to grow.... what do you have??? Nothing. If your lost, broken, depressed, grossed out at the sight of the mirror you need a change!!! But don’t do it for anyone else! Do it for you!! If you make changes for yourself your more liking you stick to them, make a ton of progress/growth, and make it a lifestyle change you will love and feel good about. If you make changes for someone else.... well is that really you??? Do you even wanna do it?? 9/10 no and we don’t stick to them.... or better yet it’s connected to a deeper rooted issue you should take care of.
Lately with all this extra time I’ve had I really just tried to invest it in myself. I definitely was/am selfish with my me time! I felt like before I didn’t do enough of it. I was always worried about time and having enough of it. Scheduling time slots for things so I can pack them all in. At the end of the day I didn’t feel like I did anything for me, or not enough and I always was left feeling “I’ll worry about me someday!” Now I am free with time, don’t worry if I take two baths and a shower. My face is so amazingly clear and I’m so happy with my skin! I literally will be on social media for hours trying to be inspired, looking for new hobbies, looking at new business ventures, etc. That I might agree I do a little too much of.... but hey if it’s helping your grow and nourishing you... is it wrong? My other half always says “are you working? “ when I’m in deep trance of my phone. Woops, sorry babe!! One day I’ll pay all the bills and be famous!! 🥰
Ask yourself today... when are you gonna put yourself first?
What’s your self care routine?
How do you self love on yourself?
Anyone have any suggestions about blog topics?? I was gonna do a beauty blog, like products I love. Also when I get inspired to tell you a little more about my journey & life I will do blogs about that!!
Until next time!
