Self-Love Journey

In life, there are many directions we can take. There are many mistakes we can make but at the same time there are many blessings we can walk right into.
 
For many years I’ve been. Grasping…. Grasping for answers. Grasping for hope. Grasping at thin air. Trying to be understood while at the same time trying to understand self. Trying to heal while at the same time simply trying to survive.

​We neglect ourselves in the process of pleasing. We forget ourselves in the day to day hustle.
We dismiss our own feelings and hide our emotions. But why? Why do we shy away from ourselves? Why do we neglect our own happiness? Why do we resist the urge to be ourselves?
 
What have we been taught to make us neglect ourselves so much? Or maybe the better question is what should we be teaching our daughters and sons to change this cycle? So many of us struggle on repeat. We hate on automatic response and we doubt due to that being all we know.
 
Our parents and our grandparents have all had their own suffering. But does that mean we should continue it? Does that mean we should only pass along what has been ingrained into us? Does that mean passing along the pain and numbing any sign of hope, or is it finally time to question, reflect and re-center?
 
We are the change and hope for ourselves and for our children. In the chaos of the world, we are here to not just live. We are here to learn, heal, love and flourish. Our bodies may be broken. Our hearts may be torn but our mind is resilient.
 
We must remember we are standing greatness. We must pass along the empowerment we have and will discover when we lose ourselves. Each fail is a lesson. Each setback is a set up.
Each closed door Is a new direction.
 
Today, I encourage you to look at yourself from a new perspective, owning rather than being owned. This new perspective is a fresh angle coming from love rather than judgment; a safe place to see yourself as a whole rather than parts and pieces.
 
We can only love others as much as we love ourselves. The question is how much do you love yourself? And what are you willing to let go of in order to have room to let in more self-love?
