Do the most valuable thing first, or now

Loving ourselves means we do the most valuable thing first, which is usually the thing we resist the most. If it feels hard, that is likely because it has extraordinary potential to change your life.

We all know what matters. Yet we avoid it, lower it on the to-do list, or make excuses because it's uncomfortable, uncertain, or requires us to feel vulnerable. This is problematic because every time we choose comfort over what's valuable, we tarnish our relationship with ourselves a little more.

The solution is to do it now or as quickly as you can. Notice how you feel when it's done. That relief, that pride, that aliveness is what self-love actually feels like. Fear grows over time and self-esteem and increases with momentum.
