Being kind to yourself in thoughts, words and actions is as important as being kind to others. Extend yourself this courtesy.
Love yourself.. your real self.
Work through your fears.. dive deep, your insecurities.. speak honestly and loudly, your anger scream into the pillow.. not into the mirror, nor the people you care about.. they don’t deserve it.
Instead of hurting yourself by hiding from your problems, help yourself grow beyond them. That’s what self-care is all about. It’s about facing the inner issues that make you believe that you are less than you are. It’s learning to see that you are already beautiful. Not because you’re blind to your shortcomings, but because you know they have to be there to balance out your strengths.
