How can I show myself the same love I give to others?
This question actually became a topic of conversation the other day, and it’s been sitting with me ever since.
As an entrepreneur in the wellness industry, I sometimes forget to pause for myself — to truly fill my own cup. I feel so much gratitude for what I’ve created, and I love it so deeply that it doesn’t feel like work. It brings me immense joy. And yet, even joy-filled work can quietly pull us away from our own needs if we’re not paying attention.
For me, self-love looks like accepting who I am while still being willing to grow. It’s recognizing the areas that need improvement without shame, and remembering that being human means being imperfect. It means allowing myself to feel all of my emotions, while staying mindful of how I express the ones that could hurt others.
And it leaves me wondering:
Can we truly love another human if we don’t first love and accept ourselves?
