Baby Steps

Today I made a baby step to loving myself. I left work today and came home. You may ask you did not go to the gym? Isn’t that loving yourself? It isn’t loving yourself if it does not bring you joy. It is not loving yourself if the reason you go is based on fear because you must measure up to some unattainable standard no one could possible keep up with having so sacrifice some thing. I continue put so much pressure on myself that there is little time for joy or gratitude. So today I choose loving myself. Believe me it did not come easy and did not come without fear and tears. Today I turned my sweat in for an hour walk with the dog on a beautiful sunny winter day. It brought my joy and peace to my soul.
