Live Like You Love Yourself
Several months ago, my neurologist told me that if I hadn't been taking care of myself, and if I were 70 or older, I wouldn't have survived. If you had asked me at the time if I was taking care of myself, I would have said no. I was stressed out, not getting enough sleep, and I wasn’t exercising every day. I felt like a mess.
"All" I was doing was teaching yoga, completing a 30-day cleanse, and running myself ragged. I was pushing myself to the limit, thinking that I had to do it all, every single day. But surviving a stroke showed me that taking care of myself wasn’t about doing everything perfectly. It was about making choices that supported my well-being, even when I felt like I wasn’t doing enough.
Loving yourself means recognizing that self-care doesn’t have to look perfect every day. It's about #progressoverperfection. It's about showing up for yourself in whatever way you can, whether that’s pushing yourself to do more or allowing yourself to rest and recover. Consistency isn’t about doing all the things all the time—it’s about being present for yourself, day by day, in the best way you can.
