We’ve gotten the idea that self-love is selfish.

That we should feel guilty for putting our own needs first.

But that is simply untrue.

We need to take care of our own needs and love ourselves first.

For you see we cannot give from an empty cup.

If you think about it, it is a simple law of physics.

We don’t feel like a victim or martyr anymore when we look after ourselves first.

We feel refreshed and replenished enough to give from a more loving place.
