Popular comedian, Ali Baba has advised Nigerians to practice self love because it’s not selfish and sometimes, people need to be their own priority.
Ali Baba wrote:
“Self love is not selfish. Have you noticed that even your phone begins to misbehave when whatever stuff you have saved on it takes too much storage space for it to operate.
When it has started slowing the phone operation down, the phone advices you to delete somethings to give it room to give you optimal performance.
Once in a while take yourself to see a movie.
Once in a while take yourself to a good restaurant, order a good 3 course meal and treat yourself.
Once in a while, go for a massage.
Once in a while get a body scrub…
Moroccan.
Once in a while, drive your car.
Backseat in a Rolls Royce or
Maybach doesn’t do it all the time
Once in a while, buy a business or
first class ticket for a long haul
flight.
Once in a while, buy yourself a good perfume.
Once in a while, look at yourself in the mirror, say these things to yourself, “you have done well”, “I am proud of you”, “you’re not there yet, but you will”, “I am here for you”, “I love you”
Once in a while dress up and take pictures of yourself, you can even plan a photo shoot.
Once a while, make no sacrifices.
Once in a while, say sorry, I can’t, I have previous commitments. Spend time with you.
Once in a while, let you be you. Let you be priority.
Trust me the world will wait.”
