Self-love can be one of the most beautiful gifts that we can give ourselves through the duration of our lives, simply because it results from making peace with ourselves, being happy with exactly where we are right here and right now, while still thriving for more to learn and being excited for what is about to unfold next into our existences. Isn`t that absolutely amazing? I sure think so. I also happen to know that in today s day and age, self-love is not an easy thing to do, especially when it seems so easy to fall into the trap of trying to fit into someone else s expectations or trying to reflect back society s ways of doing things even if it is that is not what we truly believe in. Where there is so much shame and blame out there in the world, how do we get back to that place of self love and self respect? Yeah, that s right, get back, because this is our natural state of being, and the sooner we tap back into loving ourselves, the better we are going to feel in our bodies and live the lives that we truly want to.
First of all, I think that there is a lot of pressure in the world, especially when it comes to societal norms and traditions, ways in which things get done, even if we are speaking about eating certain foods, talking in a specific way or even behaving in a specific matter those are all things that, if they do not fit into our own systems of values and beliefs, and if they do not represent what is true for us as individuals, those kinds of things are just going to make us feel bad about ourselves at some point. We are all unique and amazing individuals and we certainly do not have to be all the same. We have all different gifts and talents so perhaps a better way of dealing with our differences would be to just simply celebrate them instead of trying to be like everybody else. Also, just because it seems like everybody is doing something a specific way, doesnt mean that it is the only way or the right way and it definitely doesnt mean that it is the right way for each one of us as individuals.
Second of all, there has always been all kinds of pressures in the outside world, one of which being shaming and blaming, which comes from a place of fear as we all know and has nothing to do with love at all. This just makes everyone feel bad, both the person that is judging someone else as well as the one being judged, so it does no good. We do have the right to freely express our opinions, but this doesnt have to be at another human beings expense. By learning to dive a bit deeper and understand better why do we get through those things, we might actually be getting a wiser insight and a valuable lesson, then the one we would get by just hurting another being. By respecting others, we are respecting ourselves and that respect is going to be mirrored by the ones we interact with, right back at us. So, if we want respect, we have got to show respect first.
Lastly, I would say that, there is no better way of showing up in the world and being a source of light and compassion than by simply and gently loving ourselves and accepting our unique and amazing gifts that just make us the best at what we do. By celebrating self-love in our lives and in our bodies, we are also becoming a source of inspiration for others, who might have not reached that yet, but whom by seeing us living from that place of grace and abundance, get to work their ways to this state of being as well. So then, when we look around and see more and more people practicing self love and living their lives from a place of compassion and grace, we can all know and trust that we are making the world a better place, a more beautiful, more compassionate and of course more joyful place so that we can all live happy, healthy and fulfilling lives. One more thing to remember is that we are always guided and taken care of, so no matter what we might be going through there is no need to worry or be afraid as the Universe has our backs always, at all times.
