Just imagine with me for a moment…
What if
You loved yourself
As much as
You love your children, your partner, your dearest friends…
How might your life be different?
I’m not even suggesting that you love yourself the most, or that you put yourself first. I’m just suggesting that you love yourself “at least as much as”. (more…)
