Love Yourself and Others Will Also

I read a meditation today about falling in love with yourself. I made me think. Do I love myself as much as I say I want someone else to love me? I realized that I needed to replenish some self love and take care of me just as much as I take care of my loved ones. I know this is not very spiritual, but it works for me. I had to take a break to replenish my strength and reestablish equilibrium. I read some great books, the bible, prayed, journaled, listened to some wonderful jazz music, and did a lot of resting.

In other words, I took a stay-cation from the noise and chaos of my life and got me together. I feel better now. Everything in my environment is exactly how I left it, but I am more equipped to face it and deal with the problems. Take time to take care of yourself so that you can continue to care for the people you love.
