I have always struggled with showing myself any sort of love. Growing up I hated the way I looked, I was and still am short (4''11 to be exact Yep). I didn't like my arms and the list goes on..are you resonating with me so far? But every one of us has something we would like to change about ourselves. It's part of being human and part of being a woman. Self Love is being able to look at ourselves and say "Yes there are things I would like to change, but I love and accept myself for who I am". And that is your own individual, your own unique self. And yes this can sometimes be difficult, we say this but don't really mean it. But I challenge you to keep saying it because you will eventually believe it.
OK so I can hear you say "Well what can I do to show myself self love and appreciation?"
I will share with you some of my strategies that I use and other strategies that I know will help you too.
- I start every day with positive affirmations like "I am worthy, I am unique and I am me".
- I find time every day for me, weather it be a meditation, a soothing face mask, sitting outside with a nice cup of tea.
- Meeting friends for a coffee, being around others that will lift you up an encourage you.
These are just a few. Find what works for you and what makes you feel good.
Each and every one of us is worthy of our own love. You just need to take a really good look and you will see all the wonderful qualities that are shining within you. So I want you to now go and look into a mirror and say "I love me and I am worthy of love".
