Loving Yourself (for real!) as a Perfectionist

Self-Love

...means showing up to the f*ing mat when all you want to do is eat chips and watch Netflix.⁣

...means doing the damn heart opening meditation when you just want to close your heart and crawl up in bed and cry.⁣

...means writing in your freaking journal that you just want to throw out the window.⁣

What's the difference between self-care and self-love?

Self-care on the good says is just kind pampering. Face masks, bubble baths, lighting a candle, reading a book... It feels nice and you really love it. You practice something regularly, you strengthen a muscle, so that when things don’t always go right, you know you have the strength to get through it. You know you can rely on yourself.⁣

Self-love is practicing self-care when you really don't want to

Practicing self-care on the hard days is true self-love.⁣ You do it when you really don't want to. You do it when you just want to throw in the towel and walk away. You do it when all you want to do is hide under the covers and cry and sleep. Showing up with kindness, compassion, and love for yourself in these moments, you have figured out a bit part of what I call "the Glow Life".

It may require a bit of a loving kick in the butt from your higher self sometimes, and you may really want to do the opposite of it, but when you have reached the point where, in your darkest moments, you take care of yourself in a loving way, that's what true self-love is.

⁣Love yourself enough to show up for yourself when you need yourself the most.
