Self care is sacred... no matter who you are, what you do, your self care should be a priority... and to be honest with you, to a huge amount of people it really isnt even on the radar... I know I've been in a place,many times in my life, where I needed a bit of tlc, & the only person capable of giving it to me was myself... and that was absolutely not going to happen because I didn't give a shit about myself...
If you feel unworthy of love,& don't even show love to yourself, then you are perpetuating a cycle of sadness, & attracting to yourself circumstances to reaffirm that belief. By practising self-care, by taking time for yourself - you are telling yourself that you are good enough, that you are worthy, that you are loved, & you are loveable. You put up with less shit from others, and you start to realise that you are capable of so much more.
So practise some self-care - drink more water, take those supplements, drink that smoothie or shake, go for that run, have a soak in the bath, go to the gym, do yoga, paint your nails, dance shamelessly around the living room to your favourite song, book in for reflexology, or a massage, or a facial... get your hair done, read that book, binge watch that Netflix show, have that extra piece of fruit or cake or pizza, (or don't,if eating healthy is self-care to you!) repeat those affirmations, meditate, burn incense & essential oils, carry crystals in your pocket, treat yourself to an extra large Soya latte with caramel syrup (or caffeinated beverage of your choice ), paint, draw, play, listen to your favourite album alone in the dark, hit snooze to have an extra 10 minutes in bed, say no when you mean no, set boundaries and protect your energy...
Whatever it is to you, just do it! Because by not doing it you are missing out on little pockets of happiness in your day, you are missing out on something that will hit the refresh button and make you feel like you again, you are missing out on life by being caught up in the things that don't matter, because what matters is you. Do these things without any guilt, because the energy behind them is so important, & because you are deserving. Even if you don't feel worthy of love, by showing yourself love you will attract more of it into your life.
By loving yourself, your whole life will transform... self care should be sacred...anyone who practises it regularly will tell you how important it is. So make time for it... you deserve it, & watch your life change...
