YOu need to love yourself first, last, and always!
And you definitely need to remind yourself of that love, and show it by taking care of yourself, physically, mentally, and spiritually.

I tend to think we don’t do this enough.
Being kind to yourself can take many forms, all of them soul-lifting.
- don’t talk s**t about yourself. To yourself or anyone else!
- don’t put yourself down, especially in front of others. Not even for a joke.
- get enough sleep. And if you can’t, take a nap during the day.
- drink lots of water and cut out the caffeine and sugary drinks. They are doing you and your hips no good!
- check in with your mental health: how are you feeling? Are you upset or sad about…whatever?
- Limit your alcohol consumption. Drinking to excess doesn’t kill the pain, make the bad thoughts go away, or take you out of a situation you’d rather not be in. It simply makes you drunk, sloppy, unattractive, and sick
- take a walk. 5 minutes, ten. Just get outside and get some fresh air.
- take deep breaths before speaking and responding in anger. ( I need to practice this one more often!)
- say goodbye to the negative people in your life no matter how much it hurts to. Kick them to the curb and then don’t look back.
- get a massage/facial/manicure, whatever, to make you FEEL fresh.
There are a million more ways to take care of yourself – write some down of your own and then….do them!

Don’t be an emotional hoarder ( or a physical one, if we’re going to be serious about it! LOL)
We all hang on to things; emotions; grudges. Those are toxic to your ability to move forward and really serve no purpose but to keep you stuck.
We also hang on to ideas or ideologies that prevent us from becoming who we are meant to be and from propelling us into the future we want. SELF DOUBT is the major one, in my opinion.
Just like you should let go of negative things, you should do the same with people. People are either for you or against you. Don’t stick with the against-you ones in the hope they will change.
Here’s a horrible but true fact: they won’t.
One of my favorite mantras is let go and let God. Leave those negative Nellies to God to deal with as you move forward to be the best you, you can be.
I believe in you. Now…learn to believe in yourself.

I wish more people realized, understood, and believed this.

THink about this for a moment.
You have a roof over your head, food on your table, the bills are paid, you have luxuries like a cellphone, vacations, a laptop. You drive a car you own. You can buy clothes whenever you want; go out to dinner at a nice restaurant. Go to the movies.
Do you ever think you’re blessed because you have all that? Or do you just accept it? Take it for granted because it’s always been that way?
Here are some statistics that might surprise you – or may not.
9.2% of the global population live in extreme poverty with half the world’s poor children under the age of 18.
In this country, 37 million Americans with 1 in 6 being children, live below the poverty line, don’t have enough to eat, don’t have adequate access to health care, clean water, even a roof over their heads.
Now, tell me: are you still taking the things you do have for granted?
