When we think to the word Love, we think to a partner, of people very close to us: a mother, a father, sister, brother, daughter…The list is very long. Anyway, very often, someone very important is missed: Yourself! Yes, Yourself! Many people love to put others at, the top of the list, helping others, giving an hand to others…and to themselves? Unfortunately, this is the most common problem: many people don’t love themselves, but they say to love others. How can you give something to others if you don’t have enough for yourself? Think about it!
Loving ourselves is so important, taking care of us in many ways, for example doing things we enjoy, taking a space just to be kind and gentle with ourselves. I know what you are thinking: I don’t have enough time! That’s a reply I hear from some people I know and from my clients. But if you really want to have that space just for you, I am sure you will find it, although you have children or you are a businessman/woman in career. Maybe, the problem is “Time management” and being more effective in the things you do! (maybe in another blog post!).
All starts from a lack of Self-Esteem, whose origin could be from the childhood or later, giving credit for example to other people (a teacher, an interviewer, a member of the family…), with a lack of self-esteem, too. I work a lot on Self-confidence for my clients, giving them some exercises to do and I see how they change the more they appreciate themselves! Recently, one of my clients, sent me a text, a morning, thanking me for the exercise I gave her, because, for the first time in her life, she discovered she had “such brown eyes”! Start to see how wonderful you are, the beauty in you and in everything! The more you will see beauty in you, in others and in everything around you, the more you will attract Beauty! The more you will love yourself, the more you will attract Love, because you being Love! “Magically”, you will become more and more “Attractive”! (there will be a queue for you! Lol!).
As soon as you will start to appreciate yourself more and more, you will increase your happiness and everyone, who is around you, will notice that! Others will step into your life and not vice versa, like once! Everyone will like to stay with you and to have you around. People won’t be aware why and maybe, even you! The reason is: you have increased your vibrations! If you increase them, you are connected to Source, you will be in a Wonderful Flow and manifestations will occur “magically” in your life: synchronicities, people, things you like…It was you to have this “Magic Power”, I mean the Infinite One within You!
Don’t be scared to experiment with something new, such as a new role as a job or anything else; don’t put bars around you, telling yourself: "I won’t be able to do that" or listening to others telling you that! Give credit just to your deepest part: follow your instincts, no matter what others say! The most important person to know your Value is You! Einstein met a teacher who told him to be very bad in maths: instead, what incredible result he had!
In your life, you will meet people who will undermine your self-esteem, but don’t fall into the trap! Think how wonderful you are and to your incredible Value! This way, no one can affect your self-esteem and your flow. No bars around you, but maybe a “Gum’s Wall”! Start here and now to put yourself at the top of the list. I like to say “We are all VIPs in God’s Eyes”, I mean we have an incredible Value. Just see it in yourself! Decide to see it in yourself! Decide to put the most important “Brick at your Base”: Self-Esteem!
I will start from today to love mmyself as I would love another
ReplyDeleteVery, very well said, Linda! I like that much! I use too not have self-confidence too long time. In one day, after a dozen self improvement books (alone it is hard to believe that one could escape from this, even just one book is to little to move one from this path) I said: Enough! Basta!
ReplyDeleteEven so, I have from time to time doubts about myself, but at the end I know the answer and I come back slowly to the floating line...
But to true love myself I learned recently, so I take another step up.
Love to you!
