Build Self-Love & Positivity

  Build Self-Love

 Positivity Many of us don’t love ourselves quite enough. We claim we’re doing fine, we work towards being kinder and more forgiving of ourselves and of our actions. But do we truly love ourselves? It seems altogether too narcissistic to feel ‘self-love’ and it’s kind of embarrassing too. We dodge the subject, thinking that we’re not deserving enough of our own love, or thinking that we are only permitted to love those around us and not ourselves. But this is part of the problem we have with our happiness and sense of fulfillment. Inject a little self-love and positivity into your life by fostering some healthy habits, and you can achieve so much more than you have ever imagined. Don’t believe me? Then let’s think about what happens when you don’t love yourself.   When You Don't Love Yourself Enough Consider that inner voice that silently passes comment on your behavior and your attitude, endlessly attempting to sabotage your success and your happiness. It drums it into your head that you are somehow substandard, unlovable, a failure, a fraud and any other negative adjective you can think of. It tells you that your worst-case scenario will probably come true and will make a mountain out of a molehill. Now what kind of life is this? Living as a victim of that inner voice that has no basis in truth whatsoever and only serves to bring you down. You might think that there can be no escape from this horrible voice and that it’s just how you were made, but I have to tell you right now that you are wrong. Utterly wrong. The difference between the positive people who love themselves and the negative who dislike their own existence comes down to only one thing; how closely they listen to that inner voice of negativity. The positive ones know the truth and brush away the lies this voice might whisper, and the negative ones avidly listen to every word and take them as law, limiting themselves and their behavior in the process. How To Find Your Self-Love I don’t want you to be one of these people who never attain their dreams due to the iron-like grip of this voice. Nothing in your life will ever improve if you continue to let it dominate your life. The journey towards fostering self-love and positivity is easier said than done, but with the following few tips, you’ll be surprised just how easily it comes. 

1) Every day tell yourself you are brilliant and worthy of all that the world has to offer. Look into the mirror, gaze into your eyes and remind yourself how brilliant you really are. 
 2) Take your time to reflect on your life and the world around you. Through reflection we can learn to identify our negative habits and develop more positive ones. 
3) 
Don’t compare yourself to others. You are unique. You are beautiful. There is no one like you in the world, and that is amazing. 
4) Develop a thicker skin and don’t take the actions of others too personally. It’s probably not about you at all, but instead their mood or their own personal circumstances that you’re not aware of.  
5) Banish that victim mentality. You are responsible for your actions, no one else. Nor are you to blame for the actions of others. Practice these steps and you will be astonished at how much better you feel and just how quickly you can train your brain into loving yourself more and more each day.
