Why You Should Be Kind to Yourself

Self Love

I love me some me, and you should love you some you. Why? You can't give out love, if you don't have love to give. According to the bible, "Love your neighborhood as yourself". That sounds great, but how many have tried to love others more than they love themselves? I want you to take a moment and focus on the last two words in the quote "as yourself". Many try to love others without loving themselves. That is an absolute no no.

If you are not being kind and loving towards your own person, you can’t expect others to do it. You can’t expect others to do something for you that you yourself are not capable of doing.
Start treating yourself in the exact way you would like others to treat you and Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should be, because sooner or later if you are posing, you will forget the pose, and then where are you? ~ Fanny Brice

Focus more of your attention on yourself by doing those things that are meant to help you create a more balanced and happier life. Be kind to yourself and teach others how to be kind to you.
