I woke up this morning thinking about my self care activity in self love and how important it is. Then, the first post I saw this morning was a perspective on self love!
We have been taught that self love is selfish or egotistical. Yet, how are we to love our neighbor as ourself if we do not know how to love and appreciate ourself?
So, although the activity was difficult for me, I guess it was important and I have found it rewarding to have found so many things that I do love about myself! I did finish the activity days ago, but haven't taken the time to post the rest of the list. Here we go!
