Take time to love yourself. Get to know who you are.
Your likes and dislikes.
Your dreams and goals by journaling. Write daily and look for patterns.
Look in your mirror and say,”I love you.”
I also love fresh flowers, candles, pictures, and writing.

It’s time to think about you. When was the last time you did something just for you? Think about what could make you happy? What brings you joy?
Read a good book? Get a facial? When was the last time? If you can’t answer, then it’s time you start PAMPERING YOU!
Keys…You are so beautiful, loving and kind. You spend so much of your time focusing on others. Yes, they appreciate it. And you feel good also. I know it’s hard rebuilding yourself after an abusive relationship. The journey is long but we are worth it.
Everyday we should thank God, eat a balanced meal, exercise, drink plenty of water and pray.
It’s also nice to have some me time. If you love and appreciate yourself. spend time with yourself, then you can carry so much more love over to others. Joy and happiness comes from you and no one else. Your family, friends and others may positively affect your mood sometimes.
Others love to be around people that are likable.
1. Think about what you love about yourself?
2. What makes you happy?
3. What brings you joy?
4. Instead of focusing on celebrating once you get that new job, or make your next million, have fun now! Celebrate each day that God gives you breath.
It is so important to LOVE YOURSELF! Guess what, you are beautifulloving and kind! You are not perfect, and that’s okay because nobody is. I’m smiling at you.
It’s so hard after leaving an abusive spouse because we love them so much and we believe in them. We think about the future and the thought of growing old with them.
Speaking of your future – In reality, we really can’t have a future with someone who is so selfish who plans to abuse us only because we are nice, caring, nurturing and empathetic.
He wined and dined us. Used all the right words and we fell in love. After that the games began.
Remember all the silent treatment. Up and down mood swings. All the times you thought you was going crazy. You weren’t going crazy because, it was him who was playing games with you.
All the times you took him back. All the promises to change. All the abuse. He built you up only to destroy you by bringing you down.
It’s time to drop him mentally and physically. Get your healing on and start loving yourself.
Listen…no judgement. I’m writing from experience. Life has taught me to love myself. If I don’t love me, or value me no one else will. No one else will treat me better than I treat myself. Make time for you each day. No phones, computers or interruptions. Find a quiet space and focus on you.
I’m a child of the most high, so I must stand on that truth!
It all starts with me. Taking the best care I can of me. If that means praying, speaking affirmations, exercising, eating a balanced meal and practicing breathing techniques then DO IT! . I promise that you will not be disappointed.
When you are at your best self no one can put you down by telling lies to lower your self worth. That’s what abusers do. They tell lies to make you think you are crazy. You have to change the very thing that makes you special.
Our creator made us unique and special, no two people are alike. Are we perfect? No. No one is, but that’s okay.
When I love someone, I love all of them, flaws too. Is it wrong to want the same thing? No!
Love you and wait patiently until the right person comes along.
Be blessed,
Denise Hardnett
