I’ve been much kinder to myself again and now just accept myself as I am, that in itself has been great as I now exercise regularly and have lost half a stone in weight
I have done other loving things for myself, not forcing myself to pretend stuff is ok when it is not
I have had an interesting experience about love in the last month which has been phenomenal yet I won’t except morsels and also don’t feel 100% ready for a committed relationship right now, maybe later…. I have other things I need to do first which are more important, it’s a two-way decision, watching someone you love struggle with their own sense of self love can be hard, yet it also shows me how I have grown and what I am not

This is always been for me not a priority, always putting others first
The last 6 months I have made a much higher priority in my life and I am working towards making it apart of my life
Self love and self worth are very closely linked as I had been working a lot of overtime at work and didn’t have the self worth for nearly a year to put my foot down
I’m not going to give myself a hard time about it
I have simplified my life in a lot of ways so I don’t stress out as much and also don’t take on a commitment unless I know I can do it
I’ve cut down my hours at work and also stopped studying and just go to work and chill out now at home as I need to recuperate from overworking for a year
I’m proud of myself for doing this and giving myself some time
I’ve got small enjoyable projects which have no time frame on the go instead to do that allows me to play more
Taking care of myself is much more important now and is an act of self love
Now aware if I had loved myself more I wouldn’t have “put up” with half of the rubbish I did, well at least I don’t have to now and I have raised my standards accordingly
Being on my own has been the best way forward for me in a long time as I’ve actually had the time to explore how I feel about myself properly
