How do you show yourself love?
Maybe you kick back, hop in the tub and soak you’re stress away🧖🏼♀️or maybe you turn on a podcast, or take a nap, maybe do a little retail therapy 💸
There’s nothing wrong with baths, naps, or swiping your credit card to make you feel better, but there IS a problem when you’re throwing a self-care “bandaid” on an issue that really needs stitches.
Those acts of self care are kind of like fix-a-flat. It patches the hole long enough to get you to the shop, but you still have to replace your tire. 🚗
If I don’t go get a new tire I better watch my back, because that patch only lasts so long.
It’s only a matter of time before I’m stranded on the side of the road waiting for triple A to rescue you. 🚨
Do you see what I’m getting at here?
Why are you taking better care of your TIRES than you are of YOURSELF? 🤔
Real self love is calling yourself out on your crap in order to grow.
The issues you have today will still be there tomorrow, if you’re throwing a bandaid over your problems and calling it a day.
The truth hurts. 🤷🏼♀️
Being honest with yourself is freaking hard. But is it harder than living your life unhappy and uncomfortable?
Do you love yourself enough to get new tires so you’re not living in fear of a blowout?
Stitches only hurt for a minute, but those wounds heal. Bandaids just make your injuries look different.
Nothing changes, if nothing changes. Don’t expect yourself to grow while you live in stagnation.
