Sometimes I look in the mirror and smile at myself - just because I m learning to be kind to myself I don t berate my body for imperfections anymore because it s my home my path my strength Sure I still want to get better healthier stronger but now with love not rebuke I choose care over punishment support over criticism There are days of doubt but even then I try to embrace myself with attention not coldness After all if not me who will teach me to truly love myself How do you feel about yourself in these moments
