Do you like yourself or do you love yourself?

I discovered I loved myself when I picked up fruit instead of chips because I realized the importance of nourishing my body instead of just feeding it 

I discovered that I loved myself when I started waking up before work to go the gym because if I can wake up to work for somebody else’s clock,  I can wake up to work on myself 

I discovered I loved myself when I took the time to face my problems instead of holding them in and letting them bottle up because I realized how real mental health is. 

I discovered I loved myself when I stopped relying on other people to make me happy because in all reality it’s my own responsibility and to that on someone else  is detrimental 

I learned that loving myself is also cutting anyone off who is causing me any mental and/or physical harm no matter WHO they are.

It’s okay to be selfish sometimes because you deserve the best and only you know what’s truly going on within yourself and you’re the only one with the keys to fix it.
