Caring for Yourself First
Many of us attempt to supplement our peacefulness with momentary fixes. Many people feel contentment lay somewhere on the other side of the horizon The in reality peacefulness will not come from a relationship, job or goal you want to achieve. Contentment and peace come from inside you and even if you do find or achieve the job or relationship, it may temporally bring that to your life, but will eventually highlight your feelings of lacking.
Because if you're not already content in who you are and how you feel about yourself, no relationship, job or any amount of possessions is going to fix that.
Right now we are all spending more time with ourselves than we are use to. So make the most of that time to learn we each have the power to be at ease with ourselves, no matter our current finances or relationship status. And our worth is not measured by either.
If we can use this time to make peace with ourselves, then when we enter into that next relationship, career or other personal ventures, we will make the most of it because that peace gives us the ability to be full present and commit to each endeavour.
When we learn to accept and love ourselves for who we are, flaws included, we can begin to put that energy for self punishment in to self improvement. And when we care for ourselves we are then capable of giving more and fully helping others. Understanding we can receive unconditional love, from ourselves because each one of us is worth loving, right now, as we are.
