Self love is putting yourself first, it requires work, real work. It means acknowledging your fuck ups, fixing your mistakes, caring for yourself & your well being, surrounding yourself with people who reflect you in a positive way, & making time for yourself.
First, you gotta accept that you are not perfect, human beings make mistakes. You will have your moments. But let it go & try again. Second, putting yourself first. Checking up on yourself, keeping track of your priorities, achieving your own set of goals, keeping yourself in check, & staying focused on what matters to you. Because, at the end of the day you have to do what’s right in your eyes.
Rihanna in her recent vogue magazine interview said this amazing quote “sometimes you just gotta laugh at yourself.” This is true, doesn’t matter how good or bad you think your day is going. Acknowledge your mess ups & make a joke out of it. Legit as Jay Z once said “dust off your shoulders” ook. You’re allowed to let yourself have good or bad days. You’re a human first.
Find what you love as an interest & do it. Do it with love & passion because law of attraction states how you feel, will be reciprocated back. When I say find your interest & do it, I mean it. Just because I’m not writing articles & posting, doesn’t mean I’m not writing or day dreaming about stories to write. The point is my interest which is writing, is implemented in my life everyday. All day. Because I love it. So start there.
Affirmations work wonders, do them everyday. At a specific time, make it apart of your routine. Affirm yourself, that you’re a bad bitch, you’re intelligent as hell, your energy is authentic like no other. Affirm. Believe. Achieve. Ya feel me!!! (You can create your own, that personally reflect how you feel about yourself)
Unpack ya shit, imagine a suitcase with all your baggage. UNPACK THAT. Replace your baggage with things you love whether it’s books, poems, music, beauty, skin care etc.. Visualize this happening as you unlearn the things you thought were right. Again, visualizing what you see yourself being as you learn to grow & change makes such a difference. Just. Do. It.
After your done, look at your friends. Ask yourself are they really your friends? Do they support you? Do they show they care? Do they reach out to you? If not. Cut them off or keep them as acquaintances, keep the distance.
In conclusion, love, respect, & acknowledge yourself as the amazing being you are. Making progress is better than reverting back to hating yourself for seeking validation from others.
