I thought I'd start this page with the inspiration for this blog...and the title Love Yourself. Love your life!
Let's break it down...
Love yourself. - OK, for years I have been my own worst enemy and judge. I have said things to myself that I wouldn't say to anyone and let me just say it's been torture. To have a healthy conscious and to know when you've done wrong is fine...but to beat yourself up for things - even when you've done wrong - over and over again is self-abuse.
When you love yourself, your whole life changes. When you accept who you are, where you are, your mind begins to clear itself of the negative chatter and judgement you have towards yourself and you begin to LIVE instead of exist. You begin to see yourself as someone who is worthy of every good thing and happy moment this life has to offer and you begin to seek out those things.
Look, we all make mistakes - that's what life is all about. If we didn't make mistakes, we wouldn't grow. And if we didn't grow we wouldn't gain wisdom and if we didn't have wisdom, we wouldn't have peace. Allow yourself to make mistakes. When you realize you've made one, own it, learn from it, and move on. Don't get into a pity party for yourself and drag something out forever. Ask yourself what you should learn from the experience and as me, my mom, and sister always say, "keep it movin, boo!!"
Your tool to take away from this post is the word FLY. When you feel yourself going into destructive mode, guilt mode, depressed mode, tell yourself to FLY. Look in the mirror and tell yourself "I love you. I really, really love you." Because as Lucille Ball once said, "Love yourself first then everything else will fall into line."
