you could tell yourself youre beautiful all day long.
you might list the reasons youre intelligent and hardworking.
Because self-love is more than just saying nice things about yourself and spewing positivity.
God & Man
Its matching the actions to the words.
Youre not being selfish for putting yourself first.
In fact, you cant really help someone else until your own head is above water.
Its allowing yourself to be enough despite that.
Its letting them go with dignity and knowing that it is all for the best.
Its trusting yourself to make those difficult decisions and not go back.
God & Man
Self-love is accepting that you are completely and utterly imperfect.
Its allowing yourself to make mistakes and not fall apart when you do.
This is all not to say that the way you talk to yourself does not matter.
Positive self-talk raises your self-esteem as much negative self-talk diminishes it.
Youll never believe it until your actions follow suit.
