self

/self/

noun: a person's essential being that distinguishes them from others, especially considered as the object of introspection or reflexive action.

When you consider the word Self, how does it make you feel?

On another note: what will you choose for your SELF?

Self-esteem, self-love, self-abnegation, self-blame, selfish, self-confidence, self-compassion, self-forgiveness

First of all, outside of morality and integrity, I want you to try and eliminate the word "selfish" from your vocabulary. Is it selfish to want love, compassion and forgiveness for yourself? I don't think so (despite what my ancestors might have told me).

Becoming mindful of what we choose for ourSELF is a great act of self-care. And when we take better care of ourselves, we can take better care of others.
