Hello you beautiful soul! 🙏🌏
No to self-harm, yes to self-love!
Often people are not aware that they are hurting themselves the most. This always happens when they are not in harmony with themselves. And among many other physical and non-physical ways, these are indicators of self-harm:
– negative self-talk,
– when you say ‘yes’ to others, but you want to say ‘no’ and vice versa
– when you try to please everyone
– when you seek approval, validation and acceptance from others
– when you compare yourself to others.
Does this look familiar to you? If yes.. it’s ok, it’s ok! Everything is okay with you. Because.. few of us grew up where we were taught how to love and respect ourselves. We are taught many irrelevant things and how to always depend on other people’s opinions, not how to learn to accept ourselves.
But you can change all that, because you are in charge. To begin with, it is enough that you are aware of all that. Then to learn to love yourself and listen to your body.
Your body will always tell you whether you live in harmony with yourself or not. Don’t ignore it.
When you love yourself, you will also learn to set boundaries, which come from that very place.. self-love. Boundaries do not serve to offend others, but to protect you from everything that is not love. Healthy boundaries do not come from fear. Walls do.
It is very important that you are aware of this and that you vocalize when something doesn’t feel right. Because you need to know your limits, and others don’t, until you say so. And what you allow will continue. So never be afraid to say ‘stop’, nor to think about the reactions of others.
People who understand the importance of boundaries will understand you, while others who don’t like them will probably get angry. They think as if you are attacking them.. when in fact they show a lack of respect for you. But that’s not your problem.
Therefore, focus on yourself, connect with yourself, be in tune with yourself. Express your thoughts and feelings without fear.
Be your best friend. Talk to yourself just like when you talk to your best friend. Pay attention to your thoughts.
Love and accept yourself. That acceptance is the only important thing, not from others but from yourself.
No to self-harm, yes to self-love.
Depending on when you’re reading this, I wish you either a beautiful day or a good night, you beautiful soul! 🙏💙
Love and namaste,
Irina
