The Self-love Experiment

  

Welcome to Growing Sundays, where I share with you an idea that will guide you throughout the whole new week! This will help you manifest your inner being through deep realizations. Today we are going to talk about self-love methods to escort you on your goals.

Reminder: If you think this is helpful, share it with others too. We are all in this together. We are one in this purposeful journey.

What is Self-love?

Self-love is a state of perception that lets someone act purposefully about life. This allows an individual to obtain genuine happiness that impacts his or her well-being. This starts by taking care of one’s body that rejuvenates the soul. A deep focus on all dimensions of the self and not just on the physical aspect.

     1.Put the phone down and reconnect with others and with yourself.

Enjoy every moment because you will never experience it again. You can do fun activities without using any gadget. This might be walking in a park, real conversation with your friend, reading books, and many more. This will divert your attention to positivity which reflects blissfulness within yourself.

    2. Stop making social media your life

We acquire insecurity that eradicates self-love because we focus our happiness on the standards of other people. We compare our lowlights to others’ highlights. There will always be someone out there who is smarter, prettier, and better than us. So instead of focusing on this uncertainty, why not dive into appreciating the little things you have. In this way, you will build your confidence and change the negative perspective that will surely make you bloom and shine as an individual.

 

3. Make room for healthy habits

Move your body and eat what is right for you. If you fill yourself with healthy foods, it will show. Do not be scared of trying because everything starts there. Avoid procrastination and be consistent. I know that it is easier said than done but always be reminded that everything will be worth it. The beginning will always be the hardest but you will thank yourself in the end for doing this. So start now because tomorrow is a never-ending lie.

 

Is self-love a selfish act?

Many people are asked with this question and they would say that loving yourself will never be an act of selfishness. But for me, those answers just contributed to the idea of fake positivity. Let us all be real and pure with what we are facing. Self-love is a pure form of selfishness. Self-love has to be selfish. It is in this matter that you prioritize yourself not in an apathetic way, but a purposeful manner. You need to be mindful of everything you do to change for the better and that is selfishness. But we are focusing on the positive selfishness here and not with the harmful ones. If we dive into the self-care experiment, we are already committed to focus on our own.

Stop giving your all to everyone. You were never born to be a superhero. Protect, save and love yourself at all costs. You are special and no one here on earth is similar to you. Therefore, create the life that you want and forget about their opinions.

This emphasizes the significance of self but not to the point of being so full of one’s being and identity. If this happens, arrogance will show and that is not our goal. Our main point here is to focus on our steps and never make others a barrier to your success. Let them do what they want. Stop comparing and let unification leap within one’s heart. Love yourself and never stop until you are proud.

 

Always be mindful to grow with the flow.

 

Till next time,
