Are you loving?

Are you loving to yourself?

Are the thoughts that you think about yourself loving?

When you make a mistake, or behave in a way you don’t respect, can you still love and believe in yourself?

What does this look like?

It means when you demean your child in front of their friend, you don’t pretend it didn’t happen, and you don’t berate yourself over and over.

It means when you overeat for the fourth time that day, you don’t make yourself run 3 miles, or go grab more food to stuff down.

It means when you gossip about your friend to another friend, you don’t replay the conversation over and over in your mind, wishing you’d done it differently.

It means when you behave in a way you don’t respect, you acknowledge that you it as such. You get curious as to why you did what you did. You do what you can to repair it and perhaps make a plan for when you have the urge to do it again. Then you remind yourself you are still lovable and you move on.

This is what it can look like when you are loving to yourself even when you’re a mess.

What’s one way you can send yourself some love right now?
