Since Friday, I have had a few glimpses of self-love…. moments when I’ve allowed the “monkey chatter” in my head to quiet down, breathe deeply and just be. For the first time in…. Well, probably ever… I actually enjoyed the sensation.

I’m beginning to realize that this is more of a journey than a destination. When I originally started this goal, it was very extrinsically motivated. I won’t lie; in part (maybe a big part?) it still is… But I’m beginning to understand how this has to be an intrinsically motivated goal.
