Does this hit home for anyone else? Sometimes we can find ourselves putting others before ourselves; creating uncomfortable or inconvenient situations for ourselves for the sake of others. Why? It is okay to want to help others but it should not be to the detriment of ourselves. Surely a middle ground can be found. It is okay to set boundaries , acknowledging that something requires too much of us. It does not mean that you are not a good friend or relative. It does not mean that you are not kind or selfish. You simply understand the value of self-love.

Let's be real, sometimes we treat ourselves unfairly or poorly. We don't give ourselves the kindness that we offer to others. That needs to change. Today, I'm starting a series: Things To Stop Doing. Stop allowing others to determine your value! 🚫 You know who you are. You know your strengths, your weaknesses, your intentions, your spirit. You don't need to live up to anyone else's standards. You don't need their validation, nor does their opinion define you. #thingstostopdoing
