First off, nobody’s perfect. We all struggle to like ourselves. I have a theory that that is what holds us back the most in life, the fears that we’re not good enough. I think in this case it’s not just a fear of failure that holds us back, but fear of success.
We hear about meditation, to-do lists and being more mindful to change our lives for the better, but I believe the most important factor is self-love.
Whether you are trying to reach your ideal body, find a good workout for you, increase your financial abundance, launch your dream career, or improve your health, working on loving yourself more, right now as you are, is the most powerful thing you can do to improve your life.
So, what’s holding you back from living at your highest potential?
In order to help you, I have gathered some ways to help you love yourself more and therefore go for everything that makes you happy.
First, you have to be grateful for your body. Take a few minutes in front of the mirror each day and begin to practice gratitude for your body. Notice the beautiful things about yourself.
Second, forgive yourself. Forgive yourself for the meals you ate or didn't eat, for the workouts you missed and the times your overworked yourself, for the times you did not appreciate your body for being fully functional.
Third, let go of your inner perfectionist. Save the time you spend telling yourself you're not good enough or trying to hide your imperfections and instead, learn to accept yourself for who you truly are, even with the parts that you find imperfect.
And last but not least, let go of judgment. Do not judge others, do not compare yourself to other, and most importantly, do not let others' judgments define you.
Hope this helps, and don't forget to tag anyone who needs this 😃
