Take Yourself Out on a Date, Seriously

from The Everyday Human · host Eastin DeVerna

May: On LoveMay 9Today's reflection was inspired by a quote from Oscar Wilde's play An Ideal Husband.It’s so important to love yourself. As the cliche goes, you can’t love someone else before you love yourself—and it’s true. It starts with the society within you—your soul. And it’s a lifelong romance . . . the most complex and fragile relationship you might ever have. It’s something, if nurtured, that deepens over time, just like any relationship—romantic or not—and each stage brings a new level of understanding and affection. It’s so important. I don’t think I can say it enough. If you take one single thing from this book (or podcast), take this: care for yourself, take care of yourself, love yourself. It all starts there. Reflection title: Take Yourself Out on a Date, SeriouslyCreative inspiration: Oscar Wilde, An Ideal HusbandReflection Question: Do I give myself the same care, respect, and attention that I reserve for others? Where could I strengthen my relationship with myself? And where am I taking myself out on a date—seriously—and when?
