I remember that I said I was going to come back to talk about self love, this year I am keeping my word. There’s a lot of things I am going to do differently. Ok so let’s get into it.
To me self love is important because sadly on those bad days you will feel like the biggest failure but on those good days remember to feel like you’re a real winner, like you’re a great catch. If you don’t feel good you will not look good and you won’t have enough confidence to let yourself be free.
Self love can come a long way, when you love yourself you can remain strong and you will be able to fight things that are trying to break you. By loving who you are you can accept that you are enough. If you don’t love yourself you won’t be able to accept who you are or even embrace your flaws because really if you don’t love those flaws who will?
I know some of us want to find (...) wait no all of us want to find that great love where the other person accept who we are and love our flaws but it all starts with you. If you don’t believe that you’re enough then when someone say it to you it will simply sounds like gibberish you won’t believe it. If you’re not able to love who you are not only can you not love anyone else but you won’t be able to accept love from anyone else that are trying to give it to you because you don’t believe in it.
God loved all of us first which why we are here and we should love him first for creating us and for still loving us while we are sinners. Self love is not taking a hundred selfies a day and caption it “loving myself” “feeling myself” you can take however many pictures you want to take and still not love yourself. Loving yourself is (...) wait let me use bullet points so you can read it better.
- It is eating on time and giving yourself the nutrition that your body needs. You know what food you like so eat it, you know what diet will do you good and will give you strength then don’t deprave yourself from it. Food is one of the most important things. You need food to stay alive so make sure you eat and make time for it.
- It is sleeping enough hours so you don’t spend the whole day grumpy and tired (that’s for me )
- It is saying no when you know you can’t do something. Saying no is not a bad thing and it will not make you a bad person for declining someone’s offer, you know what’s good for you and if you don’t know what you want then start by finding out what you want.
- Take alone time to reflect on yourself. Realizing your mistake and take full responsibility for them while also apologizing when you need to.
- Meditating on the word of God and also by praying while telling God what your feelings are, what your fears are and by also asking him to strengthens you where you are weak. You can also ask him to guide you because having God in your life will seriously make you feel like a totally different person but in a good way.
- Helping others, not so you can take the glory but so you can make someone’s life better. When you help someone you also help yourself.
- Give freely and don’t ask for it in return. When you give with your whole heart there’s a pleasure that comes with it and it is way better than receiving.
- Being honest. Loving yourself goes hand and hand with honesty. By Being honest with yourself and to other people you feel more like yourself and you will be free from trying to be someone else or even lying which is like a prison the more you lie the deeper you get in the hole of being a dishonest, unworthy person. When you do become dishonest you may even begin to hate yourself and other people will hate you for not being honest too.
- Know your limit, it will be great to know what you are capable of so you can avoid being in difficult situation. None of us are perfect and by accepting that you’re not perfect you can be your true self and by knowing what you can and cannot do.
- Surround yourself with positivity and with people that love and care about you. You can feel when someone cares and when you do feel it keep that person around. Keep those who want you to succeed, those who help you to stay positive, those who are going in the same direction that you’re going. Don’t get involve with negative people, people who gossip constantly, people who only cares about themselves, people who take pleasure in other people’s misery. Stay away from them because soon enough you will be just like them if you stick around.
- Walk away when you need to. Someone doesn’t want you, great now is your chance to leave and don’t look back. It will hurt if you actually cared about the person and you starting to realize that the person don’t even care about you(...) cry if you need to but don’t let that break who you are. You are a loving and caring person but sadly you pick the wrong person to give it to. Get back up and believe that this is not the end, it will make you love who you are even more when you walk away from something that was trying to break you.
- Take time to pamper yourself. Dress yourself the right way, comb your hair and take care of yourself mentally and physically.
- Smile more and be positive that is a sign that you love yourself truly.
Actually loving yourself is accepting who you are and not being afraid to be that person.
