How Have You Shown Yourself Love Today?

What have you done for yourself today? How have you shown yourself love? Have you taken just two or three minutes out of your day to show yourself kindness?

Self Love

What could that kindness be for you? Could it be some simple self-care? Some words of love that you’re seeking in someone else? What do you need that you could find in yourself?

We all are capable of giving ourselves so much more love and support than we’re aware of. We turn to others for that instead of going within. Everything is temporary. Unfortunately, others will let us down. But the more we turn to ourselves and build up that empathic muscle that we all have within, the stronger it gets: the more able we are to find support within ourselves.

It isn’t wrong to look to others for love and support. We can also offer our own gift of love and support to them. But by loving ourselves more, we also become better at supporting others. We’re able to empathize more and offer the same words that we know gave us comfort. We can offer the same kindness that we gave ourselves.

By building up independence and relying on ourselves, we lose the dependency on other people. We become stronger. And we’re better examples for others. And this is all by caring for ourselves.

By caring for ourselves, we’re naturally offering care to others as well. We feel better and that spreads to others. Our positive energy spreads out to those around us. It’s a benefit to everyone.

So what can you do for yourself that has been lacking in your life? What would touch your life that could also touch the lives of others (often without you even realizing it)? Feel free to share in the comments.
