For anyone who was ever like me and thought “love yourself” was a lovely sentiment, but never really knew what that meant. I thought it meant I had to love what I see. Turns out it means not thinking in ways that are negative towards myself or anyone else, speaking positively or not at all. It’s giving myself a routine that involves putting my head in the right space for the day. It’s doing things that are just for me and saying no to requests that I sincerely don’t want to participate in. It’s saying no to food that I know will make me feel ill or sluggish. It is not doing things that will make me feel guilt and shame towards myself later. It is so many things that are not at all what I thought, growing up.
