Discovering self-love in times of change
We’ve all felt lost at one point or another. Perhaps you’ve wandered off track, unsure of your direction in life. But instead of seeing this as a failing, consider it an opportunity. This feeling of being lost can actually serve as a springboard to find out more about ourselves and cultivate self-love.
Feeling like you’re not entirely yourself can be unsettling – almost as though you’re trying to forge a connection with a stranger. Self-love isn’t something we conquer or lose; it’s akin to a bird in motion, constantly rising and falling. Sometimes you can just glide effortlessly, while other times it can take an exhausting amount of effort to keep you airborne. In these moments, remind yourself of the power of love in all its forms.
