Love Yourself I found this mini message card inside a small gift in the care package from my mother the other day. It came with a pretty eye shadow. The messages were: “Love Yourself,” “Love Myself,” and “We Love You.” These simple messages are not easy for me to accept. I paused for a moment when I read them. The phrase “You’re worth it” is also difficult for me to take in. Why is it not easy? There are many small and big reasons, layered together over many years. All of them stuck together and became like a huge iceberg floating in the ocean. It’s not something that melts on its own. But when I feel even a little part of it melt, I feel relieved and a bit hopeful. Self-care is one of the challenging acts of “Love Yourself,” even though I do try to maintain my health and body. Taking care of my mental and physical health is tough, but it's also really nice to have those moments of care. My night routine is giving myself a foot massage, stretching, doing casual yoga, and taking a bath.
