With everything going on in the world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, and honestly — overlooked.
There’s so much noise. So much heaviness. And in the midst of it, we often forget to check in with the one person who needs us most: ourselves.
Love is more than a word.
It’s an action — something you do.
Anyone can say they love you.
You can even say you love yourself.
But how are you showing it?
As I write this, I won’t pretend everything is perfect. My heart feels a little tender these days. People I thought would show up haven’t. There are moments I wonder if the thing I’ve poured so much into — my business, my purpose — even loves me back. And at times, I’ve even questioned if I still love it.
Whew. It’s a lot.
But then I pause and ask myself:
How am I showing up for me?
Not in theory. Not in a Pinterest quote. But in action.
As a woman of faith, I used to wrestle with the idea of self-love. Was it selfish? Was it too indulgent? But the truth is, you can’t pour from an empty cup.
Even Jesus took time to rest, to retreat, to replenish. And if He made space for stillness, so can we.
So I ask you —
What have you done today to love you?
To care for your spirit, your mind, your body?
To remind yourself that you’re worthy, even when the world feels like it’s falling apart?
Sometimes, love looks like a bath.
Sometimes it’s silence. Or boundaries. Or choosing joy when it’s hard.
Whatever it is — do it.
You deserve to feel good. To feel whole.
Because when you feel good, the world around you softens too.
