Self love ❤️

-
This is one thing that I noticed is easier said than done. I always tell myself "I love you" and all the positive affirmations but the actions to prove this aren't that much.

Check; How to know whether you truly love yourself

We tend to neglect many things and feelings that we need to prioritize. Sacrificing our self love to fit into other people's 'good books', standards, life, opinions and so many other things forgetting to put ourselves as the first priority.

Its important to start investing in ourselves, putting time and effort to get into conversations with ourselves so as to understand and fall deeper in love with who we are.
The same things we do as we try to love someone is the same procedure to act on, with yourself.

At some point, actualizing self love tends to feel or look selfish and this makes it even harder to accomplish. But this ain't so. Putting you first is important because the end, it's all about your happiness that only you are responsible for.  When you compromise too much, it's you that gets strained.

THE FACT THAT SOMEONE LOVES YOU DOESN'T RESCUE YOU FROM THE PROJECT OF LOVING YOURSELF ~ Sahaj Kohli.



The love you give to others depends on the love you give yourself. Love you most to be able to love someone more.
We are a mess but we are a masterpiece. It's all about progress not perfection.

I DON'T GIVE A F*** CHALLENGE!

I came across this challenge on YouTube in one of the motivational speeches and tried it. The result was amazing because I ended up feeling relieved. What exactly is  not giving a f*** ? Giving a fuck is basically investing your time, energy, attention, thoughts and feelings on something whether good or bad. Not giving a f*** is exactly the opposite. We all give a fuck about something or someone in our lives. But, sometimes we give attention to so many things and situations even those that do not deserve it. In the end, we end up feeling exhausted and strained then suddenly life becomes less sweeter. Not everything is worth your time or energy or emotions so don't waste your f*** on things that don't add any value!   So this challenge is all about selecting the things that are worth your f*** and not giving a f*** to those that aren't. Carefully select the more important things in your life, focus on them and invest your fuck in them because they are worth it...

LESSONS

What has 2021 taught you or emphasized in your life? Every year has its own challenges and breakthroughs which leaves us with experiences and lessons learned, and these are some of the major things that sunk into my life this year, from the various encounters I've had. You can also share some of your great lessons this year at the comment section below. 1. Feeling ready  or not, just do it . I had the thought of starting a blog in March this year but always felt like I'm not ready enough to start putting it out there. I used to blog and save it for myself so no one knew it existed until June, which was when started sharing my posts after listening to a certain episode of a podcast and asked myself "what's the worst that could happen?" And here we are, with various posts which  probably wouldn't be possible if I continued waiting to feel ready enough. Be brave, take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.  - Paulo Coelho - 2.

The 'Intentional' part we ignore

-
Image
We're always reminding ourselves to be deliberate and purposeful in all we do for better results, striving to achieve the best in our day to day activities that contribute to what and how our future will be. Being Intentional is always the key.   One part of our human life however, seems to receive the lesser amount of our 'being Intentional'  and it sometimes gives us results that we never wished for. We tend to start relationships based on the feelings and energies we receive forgetting the 'Intentional' part of it all. While we focus on satisfying our social belonging and affection needs, we forget to think of what we want to achieve in the end. When the feelings start to fade and the energies no longer match or excite, what will be left to hold on to? Many friendships and romantic relationships we form lack a clear destination and purpose that gives us the motivation to keep investing and working towards the end goal. Our long lasting relationships, ...
