We are told to be humble.
We are told not to let things go to our head.
Well…
I Think That Was Malarky!
If we don’t love ourselves, it makes it hard for us to love others.
We have become a society full of depression, anxiety and low self-esteem.
All with a base of…
…dislike for ourselves.
…doubting ourselves.
…disappointment in ourselves.
Take the situation of bullying. We all realize that it is caused by someone having low self-esteem and hurting others to make themselves feel better.
We need to teach our children (and ourselves) that it is okay to be proud of who we are and what we do.
Go Ahead And Compliment Yourself.
Do not get me wrong, I am not saying we should be obnoxious.
I am only saying, let’s make it okay to be proud of ourselves.
Not in a “I am better than you way”.
That is being competitive, which is based on insecurity.
It comes back to the self-love thing again.
Start noticing all the wonderful things you do each day.
- Notice your strengths.
– Notice your talents.
– Notice how your smile lights someone up.
Remember we were built in love.
God (the Universe, or whatever you believe in) is love.
All things are possible when it is done in love.
So Let’s Start With Love For Ourselves.
We are talking true love, not shallow superficial stuff.
Grab a piece of paper…
…write five things you love (if you have to start at ‘like’ that is okay) about yourself.
You don’t need to shout these from the roof top.
No one else needs to see this.
Self-love is between you and yourself.
But don’t hold back, gush on yourself. :)
Are you done yet?
Be sure to get five.
Hey, keep going if you are on a roll.
So…
You are pretty amazing, aren’t you?
Do you feel stronger?
Do you feel happier?
And most of all – more loving?
See, as you learn to love yourself, you are able to give more love to others.
Love brings love.
Focus this week on discovering all the many things that are lovable about you!
Are you ready? Are you set? GO!
Much love,
Netty and Sam
