Journey To Self-Love

I think there comes a phase in everybody’s life where they feel like everything’s falling apart, when they feel like there is no one standing with them or for them anymore. In such a situation where you feel stuck and taped with your loneliness, I suggest you start practicing self-love! It’s not that you should follow self-love only under such circumstances but I think that at this point you’d be able to give whatever you have to “YOURSELF”.

First things first, you are not selfish for choosing your mental health

over other peoples’ toxicity and dramas. It is completely fine if you know that a person is not good for your mental health and so you choose to stay away from them. It is okay if you know something or someone can hurt you so you distance yourself from them. IT IS NOT SELFISH. I cannot stress this enough but you’re not selfish for choosing you before anyone else.

Secondly, you gotta believe in yourself as much as you would’ve believed in someone you loved. Sometimes we even fake compliment someone just so that they don’t get hurt or to acknowledge their efforts(I am not saying it’s wrong or right) but then why can’t you appreciate yourself for everything you’ve been through? The power of self-love is so potent that you might not need (not want) anyone else to love you. Be confident, tell yourself “I’m beautiful/handsome”. Stand in front of the mirror and count 3 things that you love about yourself and if you cannot, ask your parents you’ll find a plenty of things that you’re superb at!

 

“Am I worth it?”

“I don’t think I’m good enough”

“I feel like I’m completely useless”

“Everything’s falling apart, I’m losing everything and I think it’s because of me”

“Nobody loves me”

“I want to give up”

 

These are some thoughts that can kill you from inside, and so you need to get rid of them. I know it’s not easy (especially for over-thinkers like me) but, engaging yourself in activities and imbibing positive thoughts can help to a great extent (just give it a try guys). I know it’ll be hard and it’ll take time but it sure as hell will be WORTH IT! Because after all, the changes that you bring in yourself are gonna be there with you forever (you cannot leave you like others may do ;) The time and efforts that you invest in other people, invest even the half of it in yourself and you’ll see what wonders you can do.

 

                “Everybody has flaws

Everybody has issues

But you don’t have to remorse

You don’t have to execrate you

You are enough for anything you want to do

So just find your Motivation

Set your Goals

And come through.”

-Suhani Bansal

 

“Your nose is the right shape. Your skin is the right shade. Your lips, hand and feet are the right size. Your height is perfect and so is your natural hair colour and texture. Your voice and laugh are perfect. Everything you dislike about yourself is just in your head.” I read this somewhere and I think anyone who has ever doubted themselves should too. Beauty comes from within, you start feeling it when you love yourself, when you are confident in your own skin.

 

I could write a whole book to make you feel good about you but the feeling will last only when you start doing it for yourself. You are not being selfish but you’re FINALLY  doing something for yourself. The efforts that you put in for yourself and the love that you shower on yourself is gonna stick with you forever.  BECAUSE AFTER ALL, WHEN IT IS RAINING ALL AROUND YOU GOTTA BE YOUR OWN SUNSHINE.
