LOVE YOURSELF MORE…
You would think that loving yourself would be easy. However, it is one of the hardest things you will try to accomplish. We are constantly faced with things that cause us to doubt ourselves and draw attention to insecurities / fears that are held inside. The journey of self-love is a continuous journey. I recently connected with a past life soulmate. Soulmates come in many forms. They can be friends, family members, life partners, and even romantic relationships. While connecting with them a lot of old buried emotions surfaced. Things I thought that I had processed through and overcame. This soulmate said one important thing to me that I will never forget. They said to me the most important thing to remember is no matter what you are faced with you have to love yourself more. I kid you not a day or two later that soulmate was gone again. Only to show up to remind me that I needed to love myself more, put myself and my needs first above all. Although, I felt sadness and a plethora of emotions through the soulmates departure I knew one thing. I had the tools to be able to dust myself off. Show myself some love and move forward finding gratitude in the moment. During this process I found inspiration. Leading to this blog.
15 THINGS YOU CAN DO TO HELP LOVE YOURSELF MORE
1- Do Not compare yourself to others: we all have our own lessons and challenges we face. Just because something looks good doesn’t mean that under the surface there are not challenges. You can not be them and they can not be you. There is only one you in this whole entire universe and that is a special thing.
2- Do not worry about other peoples opinions: Everyone has there own perspective on things. What someone else thinks is non of your buisness. Focus on your truth and what you believe to be true.
3- Allow yourself to make mistakes: Mistakes are opportunities brought through experience. They allow us to discover what it is we desire or do not desire to create this life time.
4- Do not be afraid to let people go: We are all hear to experience and learn things in our life time. Allow people to come and go. This allows new experiences and energy to enter your life. Some people are meant for a reason, season or life time.
5- Process your fears: Processing your fears allow you to face them head on. When you do not allow yourself to process your fears you will find they will manifest in your life through relationships and situations.
6- Trust yourself and the decisions you are making: Allow yourself to trust that you have the ability to make decisions that are right for you in the moment. If you feel you may have made a choice that throws you out of alignment with your beliefs remember that you can make another choice. Life is a series of choices.
7- Forgive yourself: Forgive yourself for anything that you are holding on to. Holding on to it only limits you creating blocks and building resentment. Forgiveness allows for better mental, emotional and relationship well-being.
8- Be honest with yourself: Being honest with yourself allows for awareness. Knowing what your strengths and weaknesses allows you to release judgement for yourself and other peoples judgement become less important
9- Say no when you need to: One of the hardest word to master is saying no. Saying know allows for you to make yourself and needs a priority first. Saying no doesn’t always mean forever. It could be a no for right now.
10- Be truly in the present: Being truly in the present allows you to focus on the situation at hand. It can bring clarity and allow you to see the bigger picture of what is really happening.
11- Give yourself a treat: Treats do not have to be big and extravagant. They can be but do not have to be. Allow yourself to show you how special you are at times.
12- Accept that some people will not like you: Do you really like everyone? It is OK that some people do not like you. When you focus on everyone liking you, you tend to lose a part of yourself in the process trying to people please.
13- Feel your feelings: We are souls having a human experience. Part of that is feelings. We all have them. Feelings allow us to identify with the inner working of ourselves and what make us tick.
14- Stand up for yourself: I feel like this kind of goes with saying no. Standing up for yourself allows for you to create healthy boundaries with in your life and your relationships.
15- Speak kindly to yourself: I think this is one of the most important things that you can do. Speak to yourself the way you would like others to speak to you. How you speak to yourself is how you allow others to interact with you. It also allows you to experience more self-belief, confidence and happiness, and less stress.
Loving yourself is a continuous job. You can fall into this continuous cycle of beating yourself up, judging yourself and picking yourself apart. Find techniques that assist you in building yourself up. Allowing you to become mindful with how you treat yourself.
If you only remember one thing out of this remember this “LOVE YOURSELF MORE! No matter what is going on around you”
