A healthy, loving relationship comes from loving, and taking care of yourself first.
You know the saying "If you don't love yourself, nobody else will!"
Like it or not, but sociologists and therapists would tend to say this is true. Can you love and care for others without caring about yourself? Yes. Is it full filling and True love and care? No.
I had a mental breakdown one day because all of a sudden I had this life realization...
"I love and care about everyone and everything from the rocks and the trees to all human and animal kind and yet, I wouldn't care if I got hurt, and I wouldn't care if I were to die. Not just that if all human beings were to disappear I would louse all purpose in life and become completely worthless!"
How can this be I thought to myself. Then a week later I asked myself two questions that woke me UP!
- Why don't I love myself?
- How can I love myself?
After the second question, I suddenly WOKE UP.
I'm just as beautiful, and amazing as everything else on this planet. I deserve the love and protection I give to others as much as others deserve it from me. If I neglect to take care of myself then I cannot help others, and others cannot know me.
This is True for all of us!
Love yourself so you can truly, passionately, unpractical, love and care for others.
Very true. I can identify with what you posted in this blog. In many aspects of my life I care for others more than myself, and in doing so, my energy was depleted leaving me to feel depressed. Like I had too many "roles" I was taking on and never took the time to care for myself. I think I was making my self feel unimportant, and therefore in a crazy way, I was hurting myself. Because if one doesn't love themselves, who is going to convince them to do so but themselves. Good food for thought from this blog; it makes me think now, how can I show myself I truly care and love myself... thanx xoxo
