Give Yourself Some Space

Give yourself some space. When working on returning to self-love, you’re going to have to learn to take breaks. Part of taking a break is it’s taking yourself away from a situation that may be tiring to you or trouble for you and giving yourself some space so that you can “re-boost” yourself and return to the situation where refreshed.

I know a lot of people, when I talk to them, say I got to get on this. I got to get to work. I got to do this. What I hear is desperation, not passion, not joy, not love but desperation. Whatever you are doing, do it from a place of love, not desperation. So, learn to take a break, whether it’s in your work, a relationship, with friends, or in creativity. Whatever it is you are doing, you have to learn to take breaks – to step back – to give yourself time to re-boost. Give yourself some space. So that when you return back to the situation, you are returning to it with love. It’s all about self-love, people.

Note: this is never truer when your feelings are hurt. Rather than striking back, take some time alone and see what is underneath your hurt feelings. And then offer what you need to yourself. Then and only then are you ready to possibly talk it over with the person who hurt your feelings.
