Build a relationship with yourself

Instead of feeling pressured to love yourself, try building a relationship with yourself first. You can’t fall in love with someone you don’t know.

More pressure to live up to social and cultural expectations of health and well-being. Is loving yourself realistic?

Maybe a more accurate phrase to describe the relationship we have with ourselves at times is; “it’s complicated”! In the meantime, take the time to invest in yourself...and learn who you really are, and what’s most important to you. All too often we spend wayyyyy too much time investing in everyone else (and their expectations of us) and putting their needs first.

This is ok sometimes, but if you don’t elevate your needs to the same level (and sometimes they need to be higher) you will start to forget who you are.....and when you become estranged from yourself you fall out of love.

Like all relationships, the one we have with ourselves takes work and patience. Sometimes this means we don’t really feel the love....and I reckon that’s ok. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ It’s complicated!
