Our Capacity to Be Self-Loving
bell hooks says that "most people do not grow up learning that the work we choose to do will have a major impact on our capacity to be self-loving".
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
but what if we WERE taught that?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
would we make the same choices in the micro and the macro?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
would we communicate with ourselves in the same manner?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
would we practice gentleness with ourselves and our feelings?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
would our moments still look and feel the same if we looked at each and every one of them as an opportunity to practice more self-love, ultimately leading to further alignment with who we really are?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
not only vocationally, but the work we do on ourselves every moment and every day...matters. it matters a lot.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
the very situations in which we find ourselves in our lives can either provoke or prohibit a deeper sense of either loving or loathing of self.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
we would really love to see you loving yourself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
day in
and
day out.
