Self love is multi-dimensional, it’s intricate, and it’s complex; it cannot be defined simply and from one perspective. It can be defined as self-indulgence, self-care, self-reliance and more.
I’ve learned after a period of time that self love is not just physical, it’s more than just liking what you see in the mirror it’s also about taking care of your body, applauding for the parts that no one else applauds for even if you hard time appreciating them, distancing yourself from negative energy and so many other things that are more than taking pictures or wearing a more revealing outfit.
To love yourself is a long, endless journey; it’s important to know that it can take time but that’s not bad and that doesn’t mean you’ll reach a finish line and end up feeling lost or stuck. All your life you grow and change, self love is adapting to change – you’ll never stop changing so you’ll never stop creating yourself and in turn loving yourself.
If you need help you can wrote a note to yourself and remind yourself it’s all going to be okay.
Remember that it’s okay to drop your bad friends or friends that just aren’t right for you, if you feel like a person is a threat to your peace it may be best to drop them or at the least distance yourself from them. It doesn’t make you a bad person and it doesn’t mean that you love them any less but it’s important to care for yourself. It’s important to be comfortable with and enjoy being alone at certain times.
It’s extremely easy to be the source of your own destruction, make it your mission to choose the best for you. It may be hard to be vulnerable to other people but before you can do that it may be necessary to be vulnerable to yourself first. I think that a lot of people don’t realize that they’re not vulnerable to themselves, I know I didn’t.
You have to trust yourself, you have to trust your intuition. Try to be fluent in matters of the soul and radiate love.
Self love doesn’t always mean you’re happy but it means you make choices for the benefit of the self and those can of course and should lead to happiness. Emotions are normal and feelings are normal, you shouldn’t blame or hate yourself for feeling them just because they are not positive as you can learn from them and they help to create the you that you aspire to be or are supposed to be.
The way you love yourself speaks volumes, it shapes the way you carry yourself and it teaches people how to love you as well as teaches you how to love others.
