I think it's so easy to forget that you yourself need some love. A lot of times, we are selfless and go out of our way to show our love toward others, but then we forget about ourselves! I think it's perfectly okay to be "selfish" by taking some time to show ourselves some love for a change.

I like a lot of the suggestions in the article. Thanks for sharing!
Exactly! I've heard it put this way: 'you cannot pour from an empty cup'. We have to take care of ourselves alongside giving to others. I lost sight of that when I got sick. I gave and gave and paid zero attention to all of the red flags that were screaming at me to slow down and love myself more. I don't ever want to be that empty cup again.
