Recognizing your flaws isn't easy.
Accepting that you'll never be perfect isn't easy.
Doing the work to be better day after day isn't easy.
That's what loving yourself calls for.
Practice, patience, and persistence.
It's a learning process.
Self-love is a skill.
It’s natural to struggle.
There will be days when you’re down on yourself.
When you feel unworthy.
When you feel hopeless.
When you feel stuck.
Don’t beat yourself up.
Those days, do whatever you can.
Even if simply acknowledging how you’re feeling.
Use the better days to build the skill.
To show yourself whatever love you can.
With your words, thoughts, and actions.
To take a step forward.
No matter how small.
You’ll wonder if it’s working.
You'll feel like it's a lost cause.
You’ll doubt if it’s even possible.
We’ve all got our shortcomings.
These can make self-love feel so out of reach.
They also make it worth it.
You’re worth it.
You’ve got this.
