The only thing youcancontrol is our own actions, your own thoughts, your own choices.

The first step to self-care is actually giving a shit.

Its deciding that you care about where your career is headed.

You care about whether your friendships are stable.

You care about what happens to your heart.

Youre never going to take a chance on yourself.

Youre going to keep coming up with excuses to stay hidden inside your comfort zone.

Youre never going to change.

Its a pretty simple concept.

If you dont care about yourself, youre not going to take good care of yourself.

Youre going to stop trying.

Youre going to let yourself waste away.

And you cannot let that happen.

You cannot forget your worth.

You cannot treat yourself so unkindly.

Maybe youre unable to love yourself right now because youre distracted by your flaws.

Or maybe you made a mistake you consider unforgivable and cant stop thinking about the past.

Or maybe youre just in a toxic mindset right now.

Its not going to be easy to change the way you think.

Give a shit about whether you make healthy decisions that day.

Give a shit about whether you compliment yourself that day.

Give a shit about whether youre in a good mood that day.
