This “note to self” really resonated with me today.
I put so much energy into making sure my children have a healthy diet, that they are kind to themselves and others, I encourage positive self talk and always go above and beyond to make them smile because I know that these are the small things I can do to help them live a happy life both now and in the future.
Do I care for myself in the same way?
Unfortunately I don’t, so I wonder if the message I’m actually giving them is to treat others better than you treat yourself which could potentially damage their future happiness rather than setting them up for success.
The key message here is to love and care for yourself like you do others. Set an example to the future generations that that self-love is not selfish but a priority and that they are just as important as anyone else.
What do you think?
Thanks for reading and make sure you share your smile with the world today ☮
