Everyday we wake up carried away with the activities of the day. Trying to meet up deadlines, assignments, proposals, bills, to a crush you trying hard to please all this you do for others but what about you, what about your body you wearing down every goddamn day. When do you take time for you, to love yourself, to treat yourself, to forgive yourself on too much expectations you put on yourself. To spend time with you. Pleasures and joy are highly underrated and beating ourselves up highly overrated. Flip it. Cultivate the opposite.
Fall in love with yourself, with every fibre in your bone. Love your freckless face , your beauty spots, your stretch marks. Explore and love your body. Appreciate and love your adorable messy hair, raspy voice and pouty lips when you wake up and the way you cover every corner of the bed when you sleep. Joke about it if you have to and smile at it. Fall in love with your inside jokes and laugh about it. *I know I do pretty much all the time:)* Go crazy about yourself, be crazy the right kind of crazy that one gets addicted to. Be weird. Go normal from time to time. Write down things you love about yourself, tattoo it in your brain. Allow yourself to feel safe in your own skin. Feel worthy. Feel enough. Feed yourself with poems, let them fill your belly, heart and soul, eat it until you have no room for self doubt.
Take a rest. Get away. Explore places. Stop to just admire a view. Try out different take outs, take yourself on a date. Jog when its drizzling. Run through the forest. Chase the fog, feel the wind , chase the sun. Take pictures of the sunrise. Lay out on the grass at night and count the stars. Feel the turbulent emotions around you those that make your eyes glisten and heart beat fast. Take a rest. Feel. Even God took a rest after all the work, and in the cool of the day He could just ooze around just to take delight in His work of art.
Fall In love with your storms, with the size of your waves. Dance in the rain even if its to the point of bruising your own feet. Know that its okay to make mistakes no one is perfect. Perfection is boring anyway. Allow the pain to visit but don't let it overstay so that you can have time to love your scars and flaunt on your bravery. When you are drowning , let out your breath and be brave enough to allow the spirit to lead you where trust is without borders to take your feet deeper that it could ever wonder so that your faith will be made stronger in the presence of the one who calms the storms and silence them to be still.
Finally love yourself to the point your energy and aura rejects anyone who doesn't know your worth. Be love of your life . Love yourself like God has loved you so that you'll discover that type of love In someone else. You are a Queen , you are a King. You are amazing in every way. Appreciate yourself. Treat yourself. Forgive yourself. Accept yourself.
Love.Your.Self
