Loving myself a little more today

Today, I did many things for myself, not others.

I chose to dress comfortable for myself, and not because I wanted others to see me look good.

I chose to eat in, because eating out and the socialising can get draining.

I chose to help a colleague with her work, because I knew she needed help while I happen to have the capacity to, and because I like that particular work, and not because I wanted recognition from my superiors.

I chose to see a particular client and stayed on longer because while he needed it, the meeting was also therapeutic for me.

I chose to run immediately after work, near the workplace, because the weather was good.

I chose to run extra distance even though I also wanted to not head home too late, because I felt good running (and had good stamina) and wanted to continue feeling good.

It felt so good when I regain my stamina, managed to finally run longer than 5km again, and still felt energetic after the run.

There are many days I am harsh on myself and do not see the worth within me, but today I’m glad I loved myself a little more.
