Love Yourself!
I know, I know, this is a no brainer. But so many people don’t actually LOVE themselves, they like themselves, but they don’t truly Love Themselves! For a while that was me. I would find myself being critical about who I was and what I had become. I would often think “My life isn’t horrible, but if I had made better decisions, my life would be so much better.” Or I would look in the mirror and say “I’m not that bad to look at, but I am not super pretty.” And I would think “I’m ok to hang out with, but I am definitely not the fun one.”
When you don’t Love Yourself, not only are you constantly being critical of yourself, but an array of other negative consequences can happen. Consequences that can be harmful to you and your loved ones. On the other hand when you Love Yourself, so many great things happen. Your life changes into this world of hope and possibilities, Into a world of love and happiness. It becomes a wonderfully terrific place you never want to leave.
The Great Things That Come From Truly Loving Yourself!
When you Love Yourself, you find all the great qualities about yourself and appreciate those every single day. You start to see the positive in every aspect of your life. Now instead of thinking “my life is ok, but could of been better.”, I think “I am a very lucky person, I have 3 great beautifully fantastic children, I live in a nice home, I have the job of my dreams and I have a great man supporting everything I do.” And I don’t say “I’m not super pretty” or “I’m just ok to hang out with.” I say, “My eyes are just stunning, I have a big heart and I love to be around me!” I’ve learned to Love Me, learned to Love all those terrific qualities of myself. And the more I learned how to love Myself, the easier it got and the less I criticized myself.
No only do you stop criticizing yourself, but once you start to see all your great qualities, you start to realize anything is possible. You start to put those great qualities to use. And because you truly love and believe in those great qualities of yourself, you work hard using those qualities. You show off those qualities. Then other people start to notice your great qualities. Your boss starts to notice how dedicated you are and is now thinking about putting you up for that big promotion. Or friends start to notice how funny you really are and start inviting you out more. Or maybe you have a hidden talent and your start to make it shine. Then family and friends start noticing your great talent and they start asking for advice. Suddenly you start to realize you can really do something great with it. Your motivation and ambition become sky high and all your dreams become possible.
Give It a Try!
All of this just from Loving Yourself! And this is truly just the beginning of all the great things that come from Loving Yourself. So why not give it a try! Next time your standing in the mirror, tell yourself at least one thing you love about your body. And when you start to criticize your life, start praising all the great things about it. Start finding all your great qualities and make them shine. The sky is the limit, go for it!
