That's a whole lotta bees in your bonnet : ) Although there's a lot to all that, self love...nurture is so very key. I know that for many years I really didn't grasp the concept of self love. I read or hear the term and think..ya I like myself okay whilst I continued to berate myself over every little thing, drink to wretched excess, set myself up to impossibly high standards, second guess my gut instincts, please others instead of myself, had difficulty saying no for fear of disappointing others or fear of what they thought of me....

Self love is a continuing action...be gentle with your thoughts...speak to yourself kindly...put your own well being first...do what you can for others but not at your own expense.
