Choose you first! 🍋🫶

It’s always nice to admire someone else, give compliments, express kind words/affirmations and happiness for others. However, how or what you do for someone else should never go undone for yourself first. Don’t forget to start with YOU FIRST. 🥰👈🏾 To give is to have the knowledge of how to center yourself as priority FIRST…. so when you do express kindness/love for others, it feels genuinely good knowing it’s being delivered authentically without question. It’s hard sometimes to remember the things we must get into habit of doing FIRST that we unconsciously over extend ourselves to others before pouring into ourselves FIRST. Filling yourself up with happiness , love and peace FIRST is okay…🙌🏾🫶🏽 it’s not being selfish at all. I’m learning the importance of self-love now, I wish I could’ve done/taught my younger self this sooner, better late than never. 🥰

... Read moreIn today's fast-paced world, many individuals struggle with the balance between prioritizing their own needs and those of others. Understanding the concept of self-love is critical in leading a fulfilling life. When you prioritize yourself, you cultivate a stronger sense of identity and emotional resilience, which enhances your ability to give to others authentically. The practice of self-care includes essential activities like setting boundaries, engaging in hobbies, and prioritizing mental and physical health. Self-love is not selfish; rather, it enables you to extend kindness and positivity to those around you authentically. Taking time for yourself can alleviate stress and improve your overall well-being, leading to more meaningful interactions. Additionally, as more people embrace the movement of self-acceptance and body positivity, it's vital to remember that your worth is not defined by external validation but by your own self-affirmation. Remember the hashtags #ChooseYourself and #SelfLove are not just trends; they are vital reminders to incorporate self-care into your daily routine. By embracing and nurturing yourself first, you’ll form a foundation that empowers not just you, but also those you care about.

A woman in a blue dress stands on a brick patio, looking down. The text overlay asks, "What's Your Love Language?" The image promotes discussion about love languages.
A person sits on a white armchair on a dark landscape, forming a heart with their hands against the sun. The image lists the five love languages: Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Quality Time, Physical Touch, Receiving Gifts.
Two armchairs, one white and one dark, face each other on a dark, sandy landscape under a bright sun. The text overlay reads, "LET'S CONNECT!", encouraging engagement and discussion.
Choose Your Love Language
The psychology behind your top love language often reflects your upbringing, personal experiences, and emotional needs. Mine is Acts of Service. For years, I’ve been independent. I got my first job at 16, moved out of state at 20, and left my faith-based community behind at 23. All the while, m
