The Journey of Self-Love: Navigating Expectations and Priorities


Listen Later

The importance of setting realistic expectations and identifying personal priorities in the process of self-discovery and self-care. We will be exploring different ways to connect with ourselves and understand our unique needs.

Self-love is a hot topic in today's world. With our fast-paced lives, it's easy to become disconnected from our inner selves and neglect our own needs. But, with so much information readily available on self-love, it's important to be mindful of what we consume and analyze what works best for us individually.

One of the biggest risks we face when working on self-love is setting unrealistic expectations and idealizing the end goal. We often think that everything will change overnight, that the journey will be linear without any setbacks, and that we should be perfect from the start. But, that is not reality.

It's important to question our own perception of self-love and what we need in the present moment to take care of ourselves. We may think that the steps to self-love are the same for everyone and that we should all wake up at 5 am, exercise for an hour, read 20 pages of a book daily, and drink a green juice every day. But, that may not be the case for everyone.

It's important to understand that each person's needs and priorities are unique. Maybe, instead of focusing on reading 20 pages of a book, you would benefit more from meditating, taking a nap, or organizing your space. The only way to know is to have a connection with yourself, to give yourself time and space to discover it.

So, ask yourself, what do you need today, and find a way to give it to yourself. That is much more valuable than following a list of 10 habits found on social media.
