Give yourself permission to be loved, whether it's coming from externally or internally💞 Our society has condition and teach us to give rather than to receive. Most people I know (including myself) has trouble in receiving in any form, whether it's an act of service, gifts, compliments or even a simple thank you!
We are programmed to think firstly: how can we serve/help others or how to be useful, not that there is anything wrong with this 🤗
But how many times do we stop and think how can I serve myself in a situation? What actions/thoughts will be the most kind to myself and align with MY current values. How can I love myself better?
You are allowed to make yourself the priority as long as it's coming from the place of love. When you are on the path of self sacrifice for too long it will only lead to hatred and resentment and eventually self destruction.
There need to be a balance between give and take and loving yourself first is not selfish, it is self preserving🛟
