Self-love is a journey.
It’s a never ending messy, sometimes horrible and earth-shattering, journey. To say that you truly, without a shadow of a doubt that you love yourself unconditionally is an amazing gift.
One not a lot of us out there can actually say we do.
But if you’re out there trying, day after day, then you’re well on your way.
Let’s not get confused here, however, while the act of self-love can be such a beautiful thing, it doesn’t mean that people won’t ever bring you down or make you feel low.
That can definitely still happen. But how you let their message affect you and how you take it makes all the difference.
People will try to tear you down, it’s unfortunate but it’s just in some peoples nature.
But when you love yourself and know how strong you are and the amazing things you have to offer, you won’t let their words affect you like they once might’ve.
If you’re not completely at that stage yet though, I’ve got you.
You know you’re awesome, you’re smart, beautiful, handsome, and all the things. Yet when/if someone says something otherwise to you, you start doubting yourself.
Or maybe, you go through bouts of doubt all on your own, not because of other people but because of that little voice in your head you can’t always control.
Again, I’ve got you.
I’ve compiled a series of quotes to remind you of your awesome. When you’re feeling down and out and you forget how amazing you are, come back to these quotes and be reminded that you are more than.
It’s okay to be down sometimes, but know that you will be there to pick yourself back up. You are you’re number one person to get you and your thoughts back on track.
Self-love is called a journey for a reason.
It’s never straightforward, it can be hard sometimes, and it can be messy; but at the end of the day, it’s the best thing you can do for you.
Love yourself. Put yourself first.
So read these quotes, save em for later if any really resonate with you, share them with others you think will benefit from them and just spread the love ♡.
