At the end of the day, remember to always nourish your mind and soul. Self-love is the best kind of love.
Nothing else should be more important than you! Yet, I find it fascinating that a majority of the population from time to time seems to forget that, myself, included. I mean, the way I see it–– the world is constantly moving forward and our lives are just so busy (or maybe even stagnant) that we get too caught up in our lives and forget to take a moment to take care of ourselves sometimes.
I can't emphasize enough the importance of self-love and the wonders it can do for one individual. To put it into perspective, nobody is going to love me more than me, and I don't mean that in a narcissistic way either. When the first guy I had ever fallen in love with, my best friend of years, had cheated on me, I felt lost.
Nobody wants to get cheated on ever but hey, I came to the realization soon enough my self-worth and that I was beyond this. It sparked something within me and I wanted to get out of this bad mojo and I realized that in order to do so I needed to fall in love with myself. I took the time to focus on myself––my mind, my happiness, and all that jazz included. I took myself out on dates––tried new things, discovered new places, and treated myself.
At the end of the day, all I had was myself, and the infinite love I had for myself made me feel self-empowering and invincible. I flourished into a completely new person. I had no care for the world except trying to be the best version of myself. I learned to really love myself and the flaws that I once saw in myself were nothing more than just normalities rather than flaws. Everyone has flaws.
Now don't get me wrong, everyone has rough days and self-love is something I still struggle with from time to time, but finding what works for you is the beginning steps. Truthfully, it's quite the journey. If you're stressed out, stuck in a bad mojo, or whatever it may be, remember to always come back to the moment and take the time to really focus on yourself.
I promise, things are going to be okay in the end. The haunting thoughts that are worrisome inside your head aren't worth the detriments to your mental health and well-being.Although it may seem easier to focus on the flaws within ourselves or our lives, it's important to really take that step back and look at everything and tackle it head on one by one and grow from it. Nobody is going to know you better than you.
I'll leave it simply with this, fall in love with yourself. Never allow somebody or anything to question your worth because you are always, always going to be worth it. Your well-being and happiness should never be compromised for anything.
Self-love is a personal journey that will be different for everyone; some days are easy, and some days are rough and that's okay. Love yourself and all the things you have to offer to the universe.
