I bet you’ve tried every website to find an instruction manual or even a gist of how to start loving and prioritizing yourself.
Oh honey, so did I.
I mean, it’s not your fault; we were raised in a society and possibly in a family that didn’t exactly teach us about self-love. I mean, it wasn’t even taught at school.
So how would we know, right?
All throughout our lives, we were only taught how to read, write, something related to math, understand and apply theories, build, study, analyze life, common decency, manners, and anything related to what is needed to survive.
It just gets you wondering, why on earth were we taught to focus on pleasing and loving others instead of prioritizing, respecting, loving, and accepting ourselves for who we are. Although even as kids, we were focused on not getting our parents angry or disappointed, I don’t believe we’ve never been taught the value of self-love, setting healthy boundaries, taking care of ourselves even at the expense of others, the right time to say “yes” and “no” and forgiving ourselves for things we lacked.
