....all we need is love. ❤️
So why do so many of us find it so hard to love ourselves?
I struggled with loving myself for a very long time. It has only been in the last few years that I can truly, honestly say that I love me, as is, including each and every perceived flaw.
Why the struggle?
For me, it was rooted in my deep lack of self-worth. It was the feeling that I was worthless if I wasn't perfect. Which is false and complete BS.
There is NO BLAME to be given as to the root cause of my low self-worth.
It was simply a 'perfect storm' of experiences that left this highly sensitive empath feeling like she was a waste of space and had no value on her own.
So I overcompensated by being everything to everybody while ignoring my own authentic self, needs, desires, passions and personal choices.
I would run myself ragged showing up for others knowing da*n well that they would never return the gesture if roles were reversed.
My shift from wet rag to loving the self-confident me and all of my perceived flaws did not just happen overnight.
It was a process of identifying the false programming and beliefs while allowing myself to see a different perspective.
I incorporated small daily exercises to find my own worth, rediscover who I am at the core level, uncover what makes me my unique self and affirmations to reaffirm to myself that I am whole, perfect and complete just as I am.
I now love and hold true to my authentic self, my boundaries and stand up for myself when others choose to not see my value or choose to treat me less-than.
If those who choose to disrespect me or treat me poorly choose to continue doing so after a calm, adult conversation as to how I expect to be treated, then they no longer have the privilege of me in their life.
I simply 'do not have time in my schedule'. I look at it as opening up space in my life to welcome in those who see and appreciate my value.
