Love is the universal language that can bring us an abundance of joy. If you let yourself love a little more in any avenue of your life I am willing to bet that happiness would follow.
It all starts with LOVE. The best version of love is not what others give us, but what we are taught to give ourselves so that we can teach others how to properly love us. Self-love is the root of it all. If you woke up everyday and told yourself five positive things and continued to do that everyday, eventually you would embody those things. If you think with a positive mindset you will attract exactly that. We talk to ourselves a lot throughout the day. Roughly, 60,000 thoughts enter and circulate our minds daily. Imagine if over half of that was negative? Negative self talk can truly be damaging, yet we do it more than not. That is the crazy part about life, we are not taught in school or anywhere really about how we speak to ourselves and how it will ultimately effect us, or our mirror image and how it literally magnetizes everything we do and everyone we come in contact with. I wish that when I was younger someone told me I could manifest all my hopes and desires, that it could build my self-worth so massively that I could feel unstoppable, and that we are able to live our best life when we lead with that type of love for ourselves. If you know you are enough, then you my friend have cracked the code.
You honestly only need a few things to be true to yourself and to really embrace this type of love.
- Confidence
- Self acceptance
- Prioritize your needs
- Set healthy boundaries
- Forgive yourself when needed
We have to start living at our highest potential and acquire skills that lead us to help others while helping ourselves. We need to achieve deeper and more meaningful relationships. We need to feel safe with ourselves and the people we choose to surround ourselves with. My dad always said “tell me who you walk with and it will tell me who you are”. I may not have truly understood that then, but I sure do now. Last but not least, we need give our body the things it needs to function best: proper sleep, a clean healthy diet, meditation, reading, writing, practicing gratitude, consistent exercise, fresh air, sunshine, all of the things that will positively lead us to feeling, looking, and being our best self.
Think about it this way if you’re waking up each day with a grateful heart that is full of love and positivity you are only going to pass that on to everyone you have an interaction with. Your actions alone can help someone in need. Once you really love yourself it is easy to love others. It will also help you realize what you will and will not accept in your life. All the pieces of the puzzle will come together and you will finally see YOU ARE ENOUGH!!
courageously choosing you
