Falling In Love With Yourself First!
Posted by admin at 04:03 | Filed In Build Self Esteem
To be loved is a wonderful thing. However, you must first love yourself. There is no way that you can receive love the way it is intended to be given if you do not love yourself. Loving yourself means taking care of your body, inside and out. It is a task to stay healthy with all of the temptation that is out there. In order to conquer this task we must really look at why we are doing it.
Some of us indulge in unhealthy habits because it makes us feel good and others over indulge because there is a deep rooted issue within us that needs to be addressed. A lot of these deep rooted issues arise from our childhood experience. We do not realize how easily children are affected and influenced by the actions of others in early childhood. These events can rear their ugly head later on in adulthood through many different unhealthy activities. Now that we are adults it is up to us to evaluate ourselves in an effort to find that link. This may very painful and difficult, but it will be worth it. Once you have pinpointed the causes of your actions you can begin the journey of repairing yourself and making a better life for you and those you come in contact with. During this process you will have to face the dimensions of yourself that you may not be that fond of, but doing so will help you appreciate your entire existence.
Find meaning in those areas that you look upon as negative, because the more you fight against them and bury them deep inside the more issues you will continue to have. Yes, you may say leave well enough alone because things seem to be working out well. However, at some point something will happen that will be a trigger and all these feelings and characteristics that you felt were not good or beneficial will be dredged up and it will be devastating to your entire being. Therefore, it is better to deal with the whole self on your terms. What I mean by on your terms is you can decide when you want to explore your entire being and how lone you want to take. It will not be as a result of something triggering you. You will be making a conscious effort to get know and love the entire existence of yourself.
You will find that once you have begun this process life is easier to be lived. You will still have challenges, heartache and pain, but you will be better equipped to handle it and you will find positive in the experience instead of the negative. During this process you may want to employ the help of a therapist, which will guide and support you through the process. Please, please, please, get over the misconception that therapist are only for those who have severe mental issues. Therapist are very successful in making mentally healthy people even more mentally healthy. Therefore if this process begins to be overwhelming seek professional help.
The journey of loving yourself is not easy but it is well worth it. You will no longer portray to have confidence, self-esteem, and love for yourself, but you will possess these attributes and because of the hard work that went into obtaining them it will be very difficult for them to be taken away.
