How to love yourself
I don't know about you... But I am SICK AND TIRED of people telling me what I should do, to show that I love myself! Self love this... self love that... blah blah blaaaaah! If you're tired too, then this is for you.
Is there really a set of rules in place to show us what we should do, to love ourselves? If you’re anything like me… then I know you are probably tired of everyone around you telling you what you should be doing to show that you truly love yourself.
You should be taking trips, taking moments for self care, and even going to therapy. We get this long list of things that we should be doing to embrace the love we “should” be having inside of us. It's so much that it begins to override what we really should be focusing on… which is what is inside.
That is on that. True self love can only come from yourself. It is not a long list of things you should be doing to show you care. It honestly can be redefined daily if you feel it is necessary.
At the end of the day, make sure you are being true to your spirit and listening to that inner voice that is guiding you. Now, if it is telling you to book that trip to the beach; book it. If it is telling you that you need to take a trip to a therapist; book your appointment. But, if it is telling you to remain silent and just breathe… well my love you already know what I have to say…. JUST BREATHE!
When no one else believes in you
What we feel, think and do matters. It matters more than you may actually know. I
It’s not that you do what you do, for the sake of pleasing other people. But let’s keep it real… who wants to feel like no one believes in us?
NO ONE! But guess what? When we say “no one believes in us”, do we not realize we are counting ourselves in that number? When we believe in ourself, there actually IS someone who believes in us…. OURSELF.
What we feel, think and do matters. It matters more than you may actually know. I know this because I am no stranger to being stuck in that rut. I spent so much of my time thinking about how many people who didn’t believe in me, or support me… that I took away precious energy from myself and others who do care.
Celebrate yourself and push yourself… that changes the entire storyline. :-)
We have to believe in ourselves, even if no one else does.
