Permission to Love Yourself First

a miracle tool from the archives

Hi darlin! I made a little fun something for you to go with this archive post! I’ve included a permission slip that you can use as wallpaper on your phone or elsewhere to remind you that you come first- even when it doesn’t seem like you do.

I’ve even added a little self-care first-aid kit to the image because I know it’s hard to remember how to take care of yourself when it’s not a default or you are in crazytown:)

When it gets busy, I need to... 

Love Myself First. 

What??? That's blasphemy! I'm supposed to take care of everyone else first and then when there's time (which there never is;) take care of me. Well, it turns out that that approach didn't work at all! When I took care of everyone else first I was always drained and grumpy and I ended up with resentments against those I cared for. 

It's been a serious practice to get into the habit of loving me first and to retrain my brain but it's gotten easier to take care of me and love me first. That way I have a lot more to give to everyone else! I feel a whole lot better! And I'm alot less likely to go to all the wrong places, people and things looking to fill that hole I had in me!

Love ya lots!
