How Can You Become Self-Loving?
Concept os Self-Love for some of my clients sounds like a Science Fiction project, and I totally get that. Been there-Done that!
I remember Years ago trying to convince myself that I'm worthy, Kind, Smart and Attractive, while I couldn't hack my mind to trust it.
It was such a daunting thing and resulted in big disappointments, including the deepening of hopelessness in the process.
This was until I heard someone speak that "Self-love starts with Self-respect". This made me curious, and I started slowly respecting myself better through being assertive, listening to my needs and following my happy impulses. As a result of that change in behaviour, I began to treat myself in a loving way - in the way I'd treat people I loved.
From then on, my "unloved" self started feeling cared for, and the belief of being worthy sparkled.
It was slow at the start; however, the feeling of loving myself grew over time until I became my first priority, without diminishing my love for others.
Self-love is not easy to develop if we lack clarity and guidance, so if you are not able to fathom where to start, ask yourself this simple question.
If I were to show someone I love that they are loved and appreciated, how would I care for them?
This could be a hug, a cup of nice hot beverage, tucking in a cosy blanket, with compassion allowing them to rest, and the list goes on.
Once you get the answers, see how you can give this things to yourself while being mindful and embody the fullness of the feeling of being cared for.
My act of self-love for today is indulging in a delicious sweet matcha without minding the calories, wearing a cosy and warm outfit, and watching a light TV series.
What’s Yours?
