THE GREATEST LESSON I HAVE LEARNED.....LOVE YOURSELF
There are many reasons why you may not love yourself but below is a list I have used to help me learn to love myself completely. Loving yourself in itself can be a journey. But remember you are all you have. Our true essence is love because we came from love.....GOD
1. Accept yourself completely.
Make a list of all the things you love about yourself and focus on them for a moment (maybe your a great cook, a great friend, or have beautiful eyes). Don't it feel good? Sometimes we are so focus on the negative we forget how great of a person we are. We all have flaws that's what make up unique and special.
2. Say I Love You...To Yourself
Every morning look in the mirror and tell yourself I love you. Sometimes I even say why or congrat myself on a job well done the day before. It may be hard at first but keep doing it.
3.Spend Time With Yourself
When you love someone you want to spend time with them right? So, spend time with yourself by doing things that makes you happy. You can go to the museum, catch a movie, go to the spa, or take a walk.
4. Start a Journal
This is the one thing above all that helps me the most. Because I get in touch with my thoughts. I get to express my true feeling. Even things that I don't feel comfortable sharing with others. A journal is your release system. With your journal you can say any and everything you like without worrying about being judged. Remember this journal is yours so make it yours. You can personalize your journal bt writing poetry or even drawing.
5. Let Go of the Past
Many times people or situations in our past have led us to think less of ourselves. You must release that pain that have imprisoned you. You must come to terms and accept the past and realize the past have no power over you.
6. Be Your Own Best Friend
Make sure you are always there for yourself. You must put yourself first. This is not selfish it's called self love. I love to help others but I learned if I don't help myself how can I help someone else? Congrat yourself when something great happen in your life. You must always want the best for yourself and take steps to acquire it while being your biggest cheerleader.
7. Date Your Self
If your looking for a relationship you have to remember you attract what you are. So you don't want to send out the vibration of desperation and loneliness. The Secret says you must act as if you already have it. So if you want a happy relationship then start by writing yourself love letters. You can buy yourself flowers. You can even take yourself out on the best date ever. Why wait for that one special person? Don't let pass you by.....you love yourself so act like it. They always say when you stop looking for love....love finds you. Good Luck!
8. Accept others and Give Love to others
If you want others to accept you then you must accept other for who they are. Don't try to change anyone. Just see the good in them and only focus on that. In time you will see the things you disliked about them either vanished or don't bother you anymore. Remember what you focus on you get more of. So focus on good and you get more good to focus on.
Accepting others is similar to loving them because you allow them to be themselves. You can also, call an old friend and tell you miss them, call your parents to them you love them, or even give a compliment to a stranger.
9. Forgive yourself
We all made mistakes now it's time for forgiving yourself. It's okay you did the best you could have done base on the circumstances at that time. Please note, everything make you a better and stronger person. Also, everything happens for a reason Lastly, everything is as it should be. You are now in a place where you can take control of your life.
10. Take Control
Now it's time to take responsibility for your life and set goals at achieving the dream life you deserve. You deserve the best and when you love yourself completely you would realize this.
