Why Self Love is an important Journey
What is Self Love?
Self Love if you look it up on Google is a regard for one's own well being and happiness.
But it is MUCH more than that!
Self Love is knowing who you truly are, the bad and good, and yet Accepting yourself... the bad and the good things better yet Loving yourself just exactly as is. Also not judging yourself.
Everything shapes who you are. All those mistakes you have made, all the pain you have gone through, the things you have "failed" are a part of you as well as the accomplishments you have made. In order to truly love yourself you have to reflect and accept ALL of You!
It has been said that we are our own enemy. This is true! I feel like our mind is sneaky.
You know that voice in your head that tells you.. "You are not good enough"
" Are you kidding me You cant do that!?" "You will never past this test"
" He wont like you" "You are Ugly". Those are examples of what we tell ourselves and puts us down. We are our own worst critic.
The Key however, is not getting rid of this voice because it is impossible and I honestly don't know if it can be done.. maybe hypnosis... but you get the point! It is to Listen to the words that pop up in your mind and turn it around into something positive. Fight back your negative thoughts!
For instance if you hear,
"Boy did you suck at that meeting"
You heard it and now you can sympathize with yourself to turn it around. Show compassion to yourself... and ask yourself how and what would you tell to a loved one? Do it for yourself.
For instance, "Wow I feel like I did bad but you know what, I did the best that I could at this moment, and I will get better with each time I do this. I got this!"
You will be amazed how you become aware how you are hard on yourself and judge yourself when you can treat yourself how you would treat a special person to you. So why don't we do that for ourselves? The relationship between you and you is an important one. Now I am not saying it is easy. God no I have a lot of work to do myself. However, you can start practicing and applying self love techniques. Even saying daily self love mantras, those are my favorite.
Look at the mirror and say..
"I am enough"
" I am beautiful"
"I am smart"
"I am worthy"
"I am doing the best that I can right now"
" I Love Myself!"
