💖Started Focusing On Myself Again (Self-Love Is Mega Important)💖

I've been neglecting myself for the past few months.

It's true.

However not nice it is to say, it is the truth.

I let myself get carried away in the day-to-day activities that seem so damn important at the time but in reality, they are not really that significant.

I was swept up in my emotions, in the whole moving house thing and just not spending quality time on my own.

And I have been definitely feeling the effects.

I am not as smiley and as happy as I normally am.

I am not as centered and in touch with myself as I know I can be.

And although that it is okay to feel that way for some time.

This time has now come to end for me.

I have to take back control.

Over my time.

Over how I spend my hours.

Over how I want to create my life.

And this starts with me.

Re-focusing the attention back on myself.

Moving into self-love and self-care.

Self-love, for me, is one of the most important aspects of life.

I always see it like this.

I can only show up in this world as authentically, real and really able to give, when my love cup is filled to the brim first.

I have to be selfish in order to be selfless.

I know that sounds conditional.

But it is the way it is.

Like for instance now, this post is rolling off of my heart and mind onto the screen without difficulty whatsoever.

It is basically just writing itself.

Because I am in a space of love.

Because I put myself there.

I got up this morning and decided that this day is for myself and my new self-care and self-love routine.

So I put on some good music and just danced around my living room for half and hour, and then did a short yoga sesh and then fed myself some damn juicy yummy food.

Yes, celebrating myself and this life all at the same time.

And now I can be ‘here’.
Fully.
Completely.
With all of my heart.

And that’s the way it is.

Self-love is the mega important and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

I know life likes to get in the way.

But you have to make a conscious effort to create space and time in your (daily) life for self-care and self-love.

It may be the only way to stay semi sane in this pretty crazy world.

Here’s to self-love.
Here’s to self-care.
Here’s to showing up with all of who we are.

BIG love,

Ashley
