A form of self-love is admitting when you have too much on your plate. I have been facing burnout, as I took on more than I could handle. Although it was hard, I knew I had to make some decisions on what to let go of and what needed my utmost attention. I evaluated my priorities and re-directed my energy and time to align with them.
I didn't put myself down or engage in any negative talks. I simply recognized the need and work to address it. I informed the parties involved and thanked them for their grace and support.
For far too long, I was trying to do everything, pleasing everyone, putting myself last, and thinking this was part of my roles and responsibilities. I thought loving and caring for others, myself, and what I do and stand for meant this. It was far from the truth.
I didn't know love to its fullest; I didn't know SELF-LOVE. Love and respect start from yourself. When I started doing just that, I became less resentful and more energetic and at peace. My anxiety slowly went away and my light began to shine.
