I thought today I would talk about self-love. You do know that loving yourself is not selfish, right? We have to take the time to love and care for ourselves before we can give the same to others. There are so many sayings about this…my favorite is “You can’t pour from an empty pitcher”. So true! If you haven’t replenished your own heart and soul and health…you aren’t able to give without depleting yourself. Or, if you’ve been to any business leadership training…you may have heard of an “emotional bank account”. You can’t let others withdraw without having something in that account, right? Too often we fail to love ourselves or engage in self care because we have been taught to believe it’s selfish. But it isn’t! I would like to encourage each of you to show some love for yourself for Valentine’s Day…here are some ideas…
Get a manicure or pedicure
Get a massage
Change up your hair
Meditate and connect with your spirit
Take yourself to lunch
Read a book in the bathtub with candles
Take a walk and just be present in nature
Buy your own flowers or plant
Buy yourself a box of chocolate
Toast yourself with a glass of champagne
Take a nap
Look in the mirror and acknowledge your worth
That is my short list…I will be doing at least 3-4 of these things before Valentine’s Day…I hope you do as well!!
