Self-Reflection of a month of treating myself to something nice

pandanfe August 20th, 2023

So maybe you guys are aware that I had a self-loving months (20th July to 20th August) or maybe you don't but today is the last day of the month. This is a self-reflection on how a month of treating myself to something nice went.

At first, I thought I would just leave it in the middle like I would have done while learning any skills and I came up with a plan of online journaling since I would have to update it regularly as I would have already marked my words to dozen of people on the community.

To be honest with y'll, I've always loved myself but I had never expressed it until this journey started. This journey have taught me more about myself, what makes me more happy, what I deserve, how I should be treated and so on. My self-esteem climbed up the hills and with it did my confidence, positivity and the vibe I get from any surrounding. I would care more about myself and not neglecting both my physical and mental well-being. This got so much into me that I couldn't even take a low effort from someone else to me. I wanted the respect that I deserved because if I was treating myself right, there's no way anyone could treat me the wrong way even if it means I would have to let go of that individual. In a way, it was like I set the bar high for myself and I wouldn't cross the boundary or let anyone do so as I've also learnt to take stand by myself either it be against me or someone else.

Also thank y'll for all the supports you've shown me though out the journey. Maybe I wouldn't have continued it if i hadn't got enough motivation from you guys. I love you all. Thank you for everything.

Its admirable how you took the time to expresss some love and care to yourself, sometimes actively doing and saying something can be greatly helpful and it makes me extremely happy to hear you experienced a self-esteem boost by doing so!

Aww ofcourse, you deserve it! And and yes hehe, seems likely. I'm guessing its because the usernames post the "@" signs are hyperlinked!

Tagging everyone again as plain text, so they can see your post too:
