How Do I Love Myself
I was recently asked by a friend off a messageboard how do I love myself under such contexts and thought I definitely have to share this with my blog. Under such topics, what are some of the ways that I express love for myself. I learned and realized a little bit more about myself as I wrote all this out. It actually made me feel really proud to know that I love pampering myself.
a) After a Heartbreak- I do a lot of writing. Settle my thoughts out and reason with myself. Getting in touch with myself again.
b) In my home environment, I like to surround myself with all things I consider beautiful and all things that helps me express myself. On the walls of my room, right now I have a lot of pictures of flowers and roses.
c) My values; I realize them by writing a lot, listening to music, and exercising. When I get to work out, I feel like I'm pampering myself and giving myself love in taking care of my health. I get to think a lot about my values and why I do the things I do when I work out. That's the kind of thinking I do when I'm running. hehe
d) Grooming - refreshing smells. I like to be clean and I love my hair. I love showers with a good scrub and a floral smelling soap, tasty citrus toothpaste, lotions. Perfume, makeup...Makes me smile and love myself all the more when I get to do all ths for me.
e)Food - I eat good things that would nurture my body. Days when I want to indulge, I'll eat to make my conscious happy. I'm lucky enough to be able to eat what I want...and exercising helps balance things out a little too ^_~. I like to know that I'm taking good care of my body.
f)Friends. I like to surround myself with good-hearted, genuine people. I like to learn about them, converse with them, play games and spend time on the phone with. It makes me feel good that I have good friends to be with. That's loving myself.
g) Family - I like to tell them that I love them. It gives me a warm feeling, and from the bottom of my heart I really do. Even though there are times when I can't stand them. They're still family. ^_^. I love getting phone calls from my sisters or mom and dad.
h) Thoughts - I cherish them. I write them down. I love myself for them.
of course, on the negative side. Things don't always work out. There are many times when I am too harsh on myself and don't give me the time of the day. Like my shyness. Yes, when I'm in a big social setting, I can be quite shy. I would beat myself up for it. And then I realize and still realizing that we can progress when we are hard upon ourselves. With all the negativity, that's all I'll be thinking about. If I give myself the positive thoughts and work from there, perhaps there would be more progress.
