Question: "Who is the most important person in your world?" If you had to think about the answer and thought about someone else ... your parents, spouse, child, etc ... then read on. The ones you love are important people in your life. They are meaningful, support you, love you, and they also take from you. Love them. However, they are not the most important person in your life. The most important person in your life is YOU. Too often we forget this simple fact. I am the most important person in my life! We sacrifice for others and in doing so, we often neglect ourselves. Take care of yourself so that you can continue to take care of others. Simple things ... - Get enough sleep so that your body can recover sufficiently - Drink lots of water so that you are not dehydrated - Make 'YOU time' in your busy schedule so that you can recharge - Invest in yourself ... read, learn new things, challenge yourself to be better You have the power to choose. So choose to love yourself, to invest in yourself, and to grow into the best version of yourself. Thoughts ...

Why most Self-love advice is misleading. The lies you’ve been sold: Self-love IS NOT: -Eating a tub of ice-cream in front of Netflix -Putting off important tasks to tomorrow  -Buying clothes that you don’t need -Staying in your comfort zone -A glass of wine after work Self-love IS: -Being Compassionate with yourself  -Having difficult conversations  -Taking care of your needs -Expressing emotions -Setting boundaries -Facing your fears -Eating Healthy  -Taking breaks Self-love is not a fluffy duffy unicorn state with hearts and rainbows where all you see in the mirror is how beautiful you are. Self-love is the raw unconditional love for all the parts of yourself, even the ones you don’t like that much. It’s learning to love your inner critic. It’s learning to love the parts of you that are scared. The parts of you that judge, compare and always need to be perfect. It’s acknowledging your flaws and instead of berating yourself for them, understanding and embracing them. It’s treating yourself as you would your own child. Try doing that and watch as your Self-confidence grows. Much love, Alex

Self love is so underrated. You need to love yourself first in order to love others. And if you think that ANYONE can give you love, then you are mistaken. Someone can surely radiate love and they can only radiate because they love themselves first and are full of love, thus radiating it. ✨ Unless and until you don't start loving yourself, you will keep on asking it from others, such a dependency. We like to be financially independent, social independent and list can go on, just because that gives us freedom of living our life as we want. Then ask yourself today that why you are not choosing freedom when it comes to love. Free yourself from the validation of others because that is REAL FREEDOM. ❤✨ LOVE YOURSELF FIRST. 💕 #selflove #stopseekingvalidation

A recipe for emotional, physical, and spiritual success!
