What is Self Love ?
Is Self Love putting yourself ahead of anybody else’s needs ?? Isn’t that what we call being “ Selfish” ???
Or is Self Love taking good care of yourself and doing superficial things like “Eating Healthy “ “ Exercising “ etc .
Well , above the superficial sense of Self- Love , what i have come to realise is that the term in itself is a “FOUNDATION” that you build and your only way to connect with your real soul ..
Most people are disconnected from their true self - because they are addicted to seek approvals , acceptance, worthiness and love. And in this very process, we indulge in self sabotaging to an extent that you will see a rise in addictive people pleasing or co-dependant people !! While I am no Self Love guru , but after my years of experiencing all kinds of feelings , I can tell you why your inner foundation must be strong !
Why aligning your thoughts to your inner self is important! That’s called Self-Love .
Okay , so WHERE TO START???
Firstly , understand that Self Love isnt Selfish . Secondly , Eliminate anybody who tells you that from your life ! “Self-love requires you to be honest about your current choices and thought patterns and undertake new practices that reflect self-worth.”
While 2018 has been a life-changing year for me , and the experiences are something which will stay with me forever . Having put in so much of efforts in every relationship, neglecting my needs , found places where I was not present to my own life, my body or my spirit. I was just “THERE” .....
However , I realised that Self-Love isnt a Destination , its a Lifestyle ! Its a practice ..
Its a “CONSCIOUS EFFORT “
choosing yourself ,
aligning your thoughts with your soul ,
cutting off any toxic people from your life ,
Not swallowing anybody else’s words , thoughts or actions,
Not labelling ourselves as to other people’s thoughts ,
Competition!! Competition is the thief of Self-Love and just know that the only competition you have is “ YOU in the past VS You Now “
Not rehearsing your past mistakes and not feel guilty about it when you know that you can only learn from the past . And not really go anywhere in life .
Infusing your creative thoughts into your dressing , interests , way of living etc. If you dont have any , NOW is the time to “ASK” yourself . You will be surprised with the answers!!!
Knowing where you are spending your creative energy , time and physical energy and if its bringing back joy to you !
Lastly, Just remember that Only you are in charge of your own ship and you are not responsible for steering anybody else’s !! So , your self - respect and integrity is your choice and only you can bring yourself joy and happiness .
