Most single moms are guilty of this…
they do not love themselves or they love themselves less. They probably are consumed by loving others,
most specially their children, that they forego of self love.
Self love is one of the most essential
ingredients to success in all areas of life – career, relationships, health,
finance, etc. Self love means accepting yourself and believing in yourself. It means recognizing that you are good and that
you deserve the good things that life has to offer. Self love brings about
confidence and a calm spirit.
People who inhibit self love find
peace, joy and success. On the other
hand people who have low self esteem and a negative perception of themselves
are never successful and are not contented.
If you feel that you love yourself
less, here are some ways to help you love yourself more, enjoy life and live
fulfilled everyday:
- Appreciate your body. Sure, no one is perfect. If you can’t appreciate your outward
appearance, appreciate your inward self.
Appreciate your intelligence, your compassion, your kindness. Appreciate your attitude. Appreciate how well your internal organs
are functioning. Appreciate how well you converse. Physical appearance, for instance excess
pounds, a not so perfect nose, a flat chest, a difficult to manage hair, etc.,
will cause you to dislike yourself.
But if look for other things to appreciate your body and do this
daily, positive energy will flow and draw you towards self love.
- Reminisce
good times and dwell on these.
Think of these moments and focus your attention to your feelings at
those good times. This will create a positive energy that will set a
new energy pattern in motion.
- Don’t let
petty things steal your composure. Did you know that chronic annoyance and
irritation is toxic to the cells of our body and depletes us of
energy? So, the next time a driver
cuts you, let it be. Forgive and
don’t let that minor incident destroy your composure and deplete you of
your much needed positive energy.
Remember that your negative reaction will affect you and not that
driver. Remember, you need to love yourself more. Do everything to preserve your mind and
body. As you do this on a daily basis, you will notice that you start attracting
more of the positive things and events.
- Enjoy,
have fun. Do something that you enjoy everyday. If you are too busy, just spare 15
minutes everyday to do what you love to do. It could be a short walk in the park,
watching a favorite sitcom, reading a book, writing, calling a friend. Whatever
it is, give yourself at least 15 minutes a day to do what you love to do. Give yourself a break. Enjoy the fun, be thrilled by the excitement of looking
forward to this special time for yourself.
Do not feel guilty about giving yourself time to enjoy on a daily
basis.
- Love and
appreciate other people and things. Learn the
habit of loving and giving appreciation. Appreciate the warm glow of the
sun, the fragrance of a flower, the sweet and crunchy apple. As you love and appreciate others and
things no matter how minuscule they could be, positive energy will flow
out of you and bounce back to you.
