A lawyer’s journey to self-love

This means that the quality of our self-love is an excellent gauge of the quality of our love for others. For, how can we love others when we can’t even love ourselves?

“After getting married, my world revolved around my family, especially my children. PTA’s and children’s parties were at the top of my priorities. I would literally drop work and even other personal concerns when it came to my children. “Shortly a month after the start of the government-imposed community quarantine,on April 12, 2020 to be exact, I decided to go biking. I initially did about five-to-10-kilometer bike rides in the morning and another set in the late afternoon, then gradually increased it to about 15 kilometers or more.

“It is while recovering from COVID-19 that I developed the strong conviction that I shall never go back to that self-imposed martyrdom that had taken its toll on me.I realized that my exaggerated concern for my family was often anchored on the fear of hurting or displeasing them, becoming too preoccupied with their demands, and feeling guilty whenever I fell short of their expectations. Such guilt and sense of disappointment led to toxic shame and low self-esteem.
