Feeling overwhelmed? These 25 quotes will inspire some serious self-love. Start taking better care of yourself and show yourself some more love!
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. In this day and age, loving yourself is an almost rebellious act. With people and ads and commercials all telling us we should be looking a certain way, or doing certain things to feel loved and be successful, it can get insanely overwhelming.
We sometimes feel like we’re falling short.
This is when you need to turn off all that outside noise and stop taking what other people say you should be doing or how you need to look like its law. We are all unique individuals who look, feel, act, and react in different ways. The same thing that fuels that other person, may not fuel you.
Take this time to look inside and figure out YouR needs, YOUR wants, and YOUR desires. Take the time to pour into yourself, it is essential for your mental health.
Sometimes when I feel less than and I see an inspiring and motivational self-care quote, I’m reminded of my awesome. I’m reminded that I need to take care of me and focus on me and not others to build myself up.
“You can’t be physically, mentally or emotionally healthy if you don’t take responsibility for your own well-being”
Loving yourself is ESSENTIAL.
