Wellness Wednesday: SELF-LOVE

This week we have another thoughtful post from Courtney. Marzia chose the quote, and it inspired Courtney to go digging for the answer to one of the toughest questions out there.

Where does love come from? What a big question. The quote above suggests that we can only love others (other people, other things, other activities) once we love ourselves. Different religions suggest that our love comes from a higher being, a creator. Science suggests that love comes from a complex process that takes place in our brain, electric signals jumping from neuron to neuron, lighting us up on the inside.

Wellness Wednesday: SELF-LOVE

I’m not big on selfies, but as part of our self-love theme word, Courtney wanted to write a post about why we should think twice about judging someone for posting too many selfies. She delves into the psychology and statistics behind selfies and challenges us to think on a deeper level about the person behind the selfie. I’m still not sure I’ll start posting selfies, but as usual, her post is thoughtful and compassionate.

Read on for Courtney’s post about selfies and self-love!

Wellness Wednesday: SELF-LOVE

Like any good wine, I had to allow these words to open up to me. At first, the way I read it aloud almost felt narcissistic.

Me. Myself. I. Alone.

Then, I thought back to one of the conversations within our Comeback Circle. A participant shared that she’s a better mom when she works out. It sounded simple enough. It resonated with all of us. We could even fill in the blank—I’m a better mom, wife, friend, sister, or daughter when I work out, meditate, eat better, take a bath, or just plain take time for myself. The common denominator? Being good to ourselves. But we don’t do it. Or we don’t do it enough.

Wellness Wednesday: SELF-LOVE

Welcome to our first Wellness Wednesday of the month! We’ve asked the lovely Marzia Prince to select a theme word and quotes for us to focus on throughout April. She chose self-love and selected three thought-provoking quotes to accompany her word.

When Courtney found out what our word was, she told me she was inspired to write about it. I won’t say too much more because I don’t want to spoil anything, but definitely read her post today and reflect on our word of the month—self-love.
