A whole lot of what the opposite looks like.
I had to try out a whole lot of NOT selfcare on my way to figuring out selfcare.
(AS IF I’ve figured out selfcare. I am just grateful to be in a new-for-me place where being kind to myself is instinctual. Like A LOT of the time?!?)
But first:
Self injury. Self sabotage. Self sacrifice. Self doubt. Self criticism. Self shaming.
I got so good at tearing myself down that I stopped noticing when other people did it for me. I invited them to.
Hell, I started giving the megaphone to the ones who did it best. Who told me I was not enough or less than. Loudest. In the ways that hurt most. I started putting them in charge of telling me my story.
WTF?!?!
