@godinmyskin: So many women have been taught to abandon themselves and call it love. You put the kids first. Your partner first. Your family first. The responsibilities first. Everyone else’s needs, comfort, opinions, and expectations first. And then when your soul says, “I want this. I want to experience this. I want more for myself,” the conditioning immediately answers: “But my kids…” “But my husband…” “But who’s going to take care of everything?” “But I shouldn’t spend that much on myself.” “But maybe later.” And somehow, you are always the easiest person to disappoint. That’s the part I want women to see. Constantly abandoning your desires isn’t necessarily love, selflessness, or responsibility. Sometimes it’s conditioning that taught you being a “good woman” means everyone gets to have needs except you. Your natural self isn’t asking you to disappear for the people you love. Your soul has desires. Your soul has excitement. Your soul wants experiences, expansion, pleasure, freedom, adventure and LIFE. Choosing yourself doesn’t mean you stop loving or caring for everyone else. It means you finally include yourself in the love you give so freely to everyone else. Ladies… treat yourself. And sometimes the greatest treat is simply giving yourself permission to choose YOU. ❤️ #SelfAbandonment #ChooseYourself #WomenEmpowerment #SelfLove #HealingJourney
