Do you love yourself?
To answer this question, first thing you must know is – what does it mean to love or not love yourself?
When you find yourself comparing with others, feeling envious or jealous of other’s life, putting yourself down like… ‘oh! I am so stupid or naive’. Blaming yourself when others do not fulfil your expectations… ‘there must be some problem with me only’ – hence he / she is not paying attention to me – “you are not loving yourself.”
If you don’t feel comfortable being alone, you have fears that hold you back, you have insecurities, lack of self-confidence, lack of self-esteem, self-criticism…all are indicators of lack of self-love.
Also that means you spend more time in your mind than with your body and soul…
So on Valentine’s day…how about falling in love with the person who’s going to be with you…till your last breath do you apart… “Yup, That’s you!”
How to do you fall in love with yourself ? Exactly as you fall in love with anybody or any thing else!!!
Get to know this cool person you are:
Know yourself! What are you like? What’s so interesting about you? What is crazy about you? what’s simple about you? What makes you alive? What makes you laugh? What really moves you? What do you value? What do you take a stand for?
Remember “You Are The Heroine / Hero of Your Life!” Take charge!
Take 100% Responsibility of your peace and happiness:
No one else is responsible for your happiness, except you – ingrain this in your heart and mind deeply. This means it is only and only your job to make you happy.
Stop blaming others, circumstances, society or conditions for your unhappiness.
Start claiming your happiness by taking charge of your life. Nobody can go inside your head and make you feel bad. it is your own thoughts, interpretation and perception that does it.
It is bitter, but ain’t that the truth.
Detoxify your mind and body:
Get rid of toxic thoughts that put you down, by focussing on thoughts that feels good. Deep within you, you already know that you’re great and have an enormous capability to love and overcome anything.
Meditate, slow down, nourish your mind and body to clear the toxins.
Go on date with your soul:
You do not need to climb Himalayas to do that… it can happen in a coffee shop, a temple, on your pillow or a park, anywhere… you get the point, right!
Just go within…sit still and meet face to face with your soul / spirit.. whatever you may call it. Talk to your spirit and even more importantly listen to it. Pay close attention.
Start trusting yourself:
Foundation of every relationship is trust and acceptance. Develop unwavering trust in yourself and accept yourself with all your imperfections. You say how? I say you know it… that’s what you’ve born with. Just have an intention.
Say, I am willing to trust and accept myself just the way I am!
Sing or dance while saying it… magical results expected 🙂
Be in awe of yourself and life:
Human beings are the most evolved species of universe. “You are a miracle” – feel it everyday.
Don’t just do gratitude…Be Gratitude… every moment.
Know yourself without your labels n roles:
Who you are without your roles (mother, father, spouse, sibling, son, daughter, friend) and your labels (professional, dancer, singer, lazy, active, seeker etc.)
Deep down you also know that you are not just your labels or roles… you’re much more beyond that…
Who are you? if you don’t take time to contemplate now then when?
Start a journal:
Develop a practice to journal your thoughts everyday. Even if it’s only few sentences. Pour your heart down. You never know what you get to know about yourself when you do.
Nurture and pamper yourself:
Cook a super delicious meal with love… for yourself.
Take a long warm bath – you can add essence oils, perfumed candles, roses, your favourite drink and a delicious book to read! Talk about heaven on earth 🙂
A walk in nature or a cosy corner at home with a book and chai.
Or find your own way of pampering yourself!
Stop living other people’s drama:
Stop living the drama as per society’s rules …earning more, doing more…better house… better car… You’re wise enough to know spending more and more… eating more n more… beautifying yourself more. More of anything is not going to bring more happiness.
You are above all that drama of Ego!
Do one thing everyday which makes you feel alive (when you forget everything else):
It happens with activities your soul loves and enjoy…like singing, dancing, playing an instrument, playing, art, painting and anything where you’re in flow… Your being becomes one with the doing… you are totally present in the moment and out of your head.
Start living in that deep place in your heart which is already content, happy and full of love…reach for it!
Fall in love with yourself even more everyday… and you shall soon be a living, breathing, being… vibrating in energy of love… ♥ ♥ ♥
