This morning as I lounged in bed at 6:30 am on a Saturday, I started thinking. Why is self love so hard to come by? Why do women and girls think that to love themselves is conceited or vain? Why do tween and teen girls giggle when I say you need to be your own bestie? Why do women wince when I ask if they are loving themselves enough? Why does it have to be a taboo subject and why do we have to work so dang hard at removing the layers around loving ourselves?
Let's talk about what self love is. Maybe there is confusion in the term and definition. This is my idea of self love, I would love to hear what yours is.
What is self love?
It's the radical act of telling yourself that you are just as important as all those other people you love and put before yourself.
It's calling yourself out on your own bs stories that you think are holding you back
It's taking action every day to improve your health, mentally and physically.
It's saying no without self doubt.
It's being able to identify when your exhaustion is from lack of sleep, boredom or if it's happening from the soul level.
It's rewriting your negative self talk after many years of letting it run wild and free in your head unchecked.
It's making a decision and STICKING to it! Maybe not with 100% consistency because we all mess up and we are all human, but with commitment to keep getting back up after the fall.
This is not about perfection. Don't get it twisted. It's about showing up over and over and over and over again for yourself.
Love to you all on this beautiful day!
XOXO, Sarah
