Love is in the air, and here at Middle Finger to Perfection, that love is self-love! We could not be more excited to bring you this self-love extravaganza today! Self-love is the prerequisite for truly loving others...and allowing them to love you back. So on this day when everyone is focused on love, let’s take a moment to celebrate the most important love of all, the way we love ourselves.
If you’ve ever thought that self-love is silly or selfish or arrogant or vain, then this episode is for you. If you have a hard time taking a compliment or believing “I love you” when you hear it, then press play now. We are about to shatter some myths and misconceptions and climb all aboard the self-love train. 🚂❤️
HERE'S A SNEAK PEEK OF THE GOODNESS…
“Self-love is un-freaking-conditional.
It doesn’t depend on how much you weigh or how much money you’re bringing in or how many friends you have on Facebook.
It’s unconditional.”
“Self-love is generative.
Love creates love.
Every time you love yourself, you’re creating more loving energy to give to yourself and others.”
