❤️ So many people are generous with love but ruthless with themselves.

▫️They replay old mistakes.
▫️They measure themselves against impossible standards.
▫️They speak to themselves in ways they’d never speak to someone they love.

💫 Self love is more than bubble baths and scented candles.
💫It’s the decision to stop punishing yourself for past mistakes.
💫It’s choosing compassion over criticism.
💫It’s recognising that shame and guilt create fear not love!

✨Forgive something from your past
✨Treat yourself with compassion

❤️Self-love isn’t selfish - it’s what frees you to be more generous with your love to others.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

💛 Share with someone who needs a reminder!
