Self-Love and Loving Your Neighbour: A Short Reflection

Care for yourself and care for your neighbour need not compete. This short reflection invites you to treat your own needs with dignity while offering kindness to others.

A practical starting point

1. Name one basic need you have been overlooking.
2. Offer yourself the same patient language you would use with a friend.
3. Choose one act of care that does not depend on feeling perfect first.

For further prayer and study, explore the related scripture collection. Read the passages in context and use the reflection prompts at your own pace.

The reflection

When you appreciate and value yourself, it becomes much easier to extend that same love and appreciation to your neighbour.By loving yourself first, you allow yourself to be in the right headspace to give love to those around you.
