20 Days to Christmas: Check-off Time
Is there anything you didn’t manage to complete this week?

Most people do not know how to love themselves unconditionally.
And yet, we offer it so freely to others.
Think about your child… your pet… someone you hold close to your heart.
You forgive them. You hold them through their pain. You cheer them on.
You see their potential even when they can’t.
At the same time, you keep them accountable to be their best version.
That is unconditional love.
Now, imagine turning that same compassion, patience, and support inward.
What if you allowed yourself to be human - flawed, learning, and growing - without the guilt or harsh inner voice?
So many fear that loving themselves unconditionally will make them selfish or indulgent. But the truth is:
• The more you understand the effort it takes to be kind to yourself,
• The more you appreciate what it means to walk in love and honesty,
• The more capable you are of holding others with grace.
When you love yourself without condition, you don’t need the world to approve of you - you become your own safe space.
And from that space, you extend deeper tolerance, presence, and peace into the world around you.
This is where your healing begins.
This is how you change your world - from the inside out.
Always remember to be kind to yourself.
