For the longest time, we've been someone in other people's narratives – someone's wife, husband, mom, dad, or lover. In the month of love, February, while the world celebrates LOVE, let's shift the focus to self-love. Yes, you and yourself.
It's a common desire to strive for perfection in the eyes of others, be it the perfect girlfriend or boyfriend, aiming to embody an ideal image for someone special. While finding love along our life journey is a blessing, true love is about accepting someone unconditionally, wanting them to be happy, their true selves, and the best version of who they are. Often, we forget to extend that same love to ourselves. We put all our attention on family and significant others, sometimes sacrificing our own well-being just to please others.
Valentine's Day isn't just a date to express love to your other half; it's also a reminder to love yourself. Deep down in your soul, there's a part of you that may have been waiting for your attention for the longest time. Take a moment amidst the daily hustle to quiet yourself, enjoy some me-time, and pay attention to that inner child eager for your love. Show them love and acceptance.
Loving yourself allows you to offer more love to the world and those around you. Life is a mirror, reflecting what you give out. Be kind to yourself and others, embracing the true you just as you are. See the world through the lens of your beliefs and soul, accepting and loving yourself. Life should be fun and enjoyed. Embrace your uniqueness; after all, we're all perfect in our own way. Let a little weirdness keep you alive and cute. Be kind, open to the world, and let self-love sink in, illuminating your soul. Love is in the air.
