Be Good to You

How often are you good to yourself? In the aspects of putting yourself first, practicing consistent self-care, resting your mind and body, stewarding your temple, treating yourself to a luxury or gift, making the best decisions for yourself, advocating for your needs/desires, and simply pouring goodness into yourself daily. You are your first home, the true love of your life, your greatest best friend, and the lifelong relationship with yourself is what matters most. We exist in a world where selfishness is rampant and moral goodness to others is steadily declining. This post is a call to improve how you are treating yourself, not to become a person solely focused on self. There is a difference, one being that you can still be good to yourself while also finding a rhythm with selflessness and choosing to be good to others. I want you to be so good to yourself that you radiate wellness, joy, and self-love. The goodness you pour into yourself enhances your ability to show up greater for your purpose and those connected to you.

Carve out intentional reflection time to thoughtfully consider the patterns of how you treat yourself, how you talk to yourself, and how you show up for yourself. This will shine the light on the fruitless habits and thought patterns you are perpetuating that impact the relationship you have with yourself. Being good to yourself involves a holistic approach because every part of you is interconnected and improvement requires full examination (mind, body, soul). You are your most dependable source when it comes to elevating your lifestyle, wellness, and internal joy. Be bold about standing on business when it comes to being good to you and not relying on an external source to provide the daily dose of goodness you need.
