Loving Yourself is the New Black
"" Love yourself as you wish to be loved by others. You are worth it"
Hi Friend!
Ever wondered why some people seem to effortlessly captivate others? It's not always about stunning looks or extravagant displays of wealth. There's a certain "je ne sais quoi" that draws people in. If you've ever envied this quality, I'm here to reveal the secret.
Truth: The person loves themselves. The end.
Confidence: Is about believing in yourself. Self-esteem is about believing in your worth.
Self Love is both of those wrapped up into one, plus more. Its like the perfect feast for your soul.
If you are not sure whether you love yourself, heres a quick quiz:
Do you think you are awesome?
Do you love yourself unconditionally?
Do you go after your goals while deep down knowing you are worthy of attaining them?
If you answered “no” to any or all of these question, you’ve got some work to do.
What is sell-love anyway? In a nutshell, it is embracing your imperfect self. Its:
Forgiving yourself for any past mistakes and moving forward.
Forgiving others.
Not contigent on your particular circumstances, how much pain youre in, what you look like, or how much money you have.
Not believing the made-up stories your inner critic might tell you.
In my humble opinion, self-love is the best thing ever. It’s time to be your own biggest fan, a legend even! Once you have made the decision to love yourself, here are some actions to take:
Take responsibility for your life. Notice where you blame others or circumstances for your unhappiness or lack of fulfillment. Forgive people if you need to. Let it go.
Forgive yourself for your past. You dont live there anymore.
Own your story and at the same time love yourself for it. Everyone has a messy past. You’re human.
Set healthy boundaries. Stop tolerating toxic people and drama.
Go after what you want and if you’re scared- DO IT ANYWAY.
Believe you are worth what you want. And I mean everything.
Take care of your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Accept praise and compliments. Those are gifts. Say thank you instead of downplaying or denying the the kind words.
I know for a fact it is not your destiny to live a life of wishing and hoping for good things to happen to you. Fingers crossed. Believing dreams only come true for “those people”. You know what “those people” have in common? They love themselves.
Its not luck; it’s love, baby.
