HOW I BUILT SELF LOVE
I used to think I’d be ‘good’ when I found the right partner
That the love from another, would complete me.
And it’s what I looked for in all relationships.
But then I looked in the mirror one day, and thought
‘𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘰 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘥?’
‘𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘦?’
‘𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘢𝘮 𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭?’
Those questions made me pay more attention to how I was showing up for myself…
I thought…
‘𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱?’
Look at the person every day and tell them you love them…
Show up, do your best, and don’t sell out.
𝐒𝐨, 𝐈 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝, 𝐈’𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐲𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟
When you look in the mirror,
Be proud of your achievements,
Forgive yourself for your failings,
And promise that you’ll show up for yourself every day…
Love builds…
I train hard,
I eat good food rather than processed shit
My self-talk is compassionate but honest,
I’m constantly learning so I feel like I’m constantly growing.
𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭,
𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬,
And that for me, is the meaning of life
Happy weekend fam!
