Loving You Isn't Selfish, It's Mandatory

What do you do to elevate yourself mentally, spiritually, and financially? According to a survey by a wellness tech company, Shine, 72 percent of millennial women are moving away from solely physical and financial goals to make self-care and mental health their priority. As we all should. But that doesn't mean we do it.

There are so many excuses you "tell" when it comes to making yourself a priority. But the root reason you don't follow through is that you don't know what the result of your change will entail; is it too much work, what if others don't accept you, or how that change will affect who you are?

You deserve to be whole, you deserve to heal, you deserve wealth, you deserve peace of mind, and you deserve to know techniques that will help you stay in a state of deserving and expectation. You deserve more than to just look good, but to feel good in your mind, body, and soul.

One of the things on my dating journey is to love myself like I want my man to love me. So I pamper, spoil, and love on myself. I’m setting the expectation. The same thing in my business, I love it so I expect my clients to treat it with the same love and care. I want to fall in love with my life. Every area may not be 100% where I want it but I am grateful that it isn’t where it used to be.

It's time to let go of the excuses, procrastination, ego, inner self-talk, or others that stop you from taking action on having the life you've always dreamed of. Love on you. Hype yourself up. Remind yourself of your abilities and capabilities. You don’t have to do it all, one small change every day will create over 365 slight improvements to your life in a year. Take it day by day.

I challenge you to, do something to love you daily.
