How to Love Better by Loving Yourself First
This is the time of the year for most of us to celebrate love. Love permeates our lives to the point where the word becomes overused. We love our family, our pets, our favorite restaurant. We love sushi. We even say we love our mailman for bringing parcels to our door. The one direction our love seems to be least directed is towards ourselves, even though we can’t truly and fully love others if we do not love ourselves first. We pay it no attention, or worse, purposely avoid it thinking of it as a selfish act. After some inward reflection, I’ve decided to work on a few ways to treat myself better, so I can be happier and do a better job of loving my wife, kids, family, and friends. Maybe you can too.
