Cultivate Self-Love

It's necessary

By Seema PatelPublished 2 months ago 1 min read

You know what is one of the biggest tragedies

that can happen to humans.

Self-hatred.

Way too many people hate themselves,

they can’t say it out loud,

ego prevents,

but it keeps whipping from the inside.

Self-love is important,

and I make sure it keeps happening.

How?

Through right choices,

duty, and soaking in nature.

Let me so.

After waking up,

I taught my daughter,

washed a mountain of utensils,

and prepared lunch.

In between all that,

I went for a rainy walk,

absorbing mindfully,

taking pictures,

dictating many drafts.

I’ve only given glimpses

of small window of a day.

I live like this every day,

inspired, self-motivated,

basking in self-love.

So, cultivate this nourishment,

and then let the excess

spill over to others.
