Self love may not be as pretty as it may sound, the thoughts that run through one’s mind play a huge part and it begins with trying to get over the 7 Beliefs You Need to Let Go of: A THREAD
1- “I feel useless, I need to be doing something right now.” Stems out from the belief that we need to be always busy, productive to feel “useful”. Nope that ain’t the case, it pays to slow down & we all are contributors in this world, good ones at that.
2- “I’ll be happy only when I get what I want.” It pays to not put conditions in our lives to say that we’re happy. I guess the key here is to learn to be contented with what you have now, this paves the way to more unexpected blessings to come so to speak.
3- “Inner peace is a complicated process, it’s difficult.” Remember that inner peace is sometimes “noisy” but at the end of the day it’s about doing what makes you happy & making peace with your past and present.
4- “I don’t want to show my real emotions, people think I’m strong, showing it might make them think I’m weak.” Let go of that self-stigma remember that the brave ones are those who remain true to how they feel. It’s okay not to be okay.
5- “I don’t think people will like the real me so I’ll try to be different.” You ain’t born to please others, you’re born to be you so stay true to that, there’s much value in the honesty it brings.
6- “Being and doing my best seems to be not good enough compared to others.” Spare yourself from this competition and go with your own pace because we all differ. Don’t compare. Appreciate you as you.
7- “I can’t seem to forget about my past, I feel it consuming me and I’m scared of it repeating itself all over again.” Don’t allow your pain to define you it happened for a reason sooner or later that will all fall into place. One step, one day at a time.
