How to love ourselves.

We need to stop treating ourselves like an afterthought. We need to love ourselves like we love everyone else. We need to take time for ourselves. We need to eat healthy food because we are so thankful for the health we have. We need to walk because we like the way the breath feels in our lungs. We need to enjoy sweet treats now and then because we love them. We need to give ourselves space to reflect and be thankful for our families and for our friends. We need to cultivate those relationships because those are the ones that will remind us of how good life really is. ~Leah Palmeiro 2016
