I forget how important loving oneself is in a journey to a healthier place. I often forget that step. I am usually great at loving other people-- tending to their needs, praising their accomplishments, but somehow, I expend any love I should have had for myself on them. I'm really talented in punishing myself, however. Which makes for a bad concoction for motivation.
I'm trying to fall in love with myself again, despite the stress or anxiety, or even the jealousy of my friends and acquaintances that these lifestyle choices come easy for. I find myself comparing their successes to my failures, as though that is grounds to punish myself.
I should be loving myself. I should be celebrating my victories and counting my blessings. If I could just do that, I can accomplish anything.
