Self-Love is oh so powerful!!!
On my healing path and in my evolution of growth I have seen how self love changed my life.
I was in such a broken place before I started my healing journey. My self-esteem and my overall self worth was very low. The truth is I did not love myself, wow! I can't believe I said that out loud. It's the raw and honest truth. The trauma that I experienced in my childhood had taught me that I wasn't worth much. sadly, I believed that I was unloved and not worthy of being loved. As a result of this I allowed people to treat me badly. I was already a hurt person and over the years I discovered that people would continue to hurt me. I couldn't not understand why this was happening to me.
💡💡A LIGHT BULB WENT ON💡💡
The journey to self love isn't as easy as turning a light bulb on but for me it was a light bulb moment. I had to learn to love me flaws and all. After fighting against insecurities and pass hurts I finally decided to give myself a chance. I felt exhausted from toiling with my hurts, it was time for a change. I had to release myself from toxic relationships and toxic people. It was not as easy as that, especially when some of the toxic people are family members. Some of those toxic people did not take kindly to me distancing myself from them. Toxic people don't want you to get out of their presence, they want to be close to you so that they can influence your life. You will know exactly who they are, once you start to achieve self-love in your life, that toxic person will be the person telling you this: "you have changed, you don't hang out with me anymore" letting go of toxic relationships is the first step to self love.
A CHANGE HAS COME
It was and still is hard to let go of my old way of thinking, but I chose to embrace who I am with all my flaws. I love me! I see that when I began to love on myself, people also began to treat me with respect. The way I treat myself is a clear and unspoken boundary of how I expect others to treat me. The power of self love should not be underrated. When you are radiating confidence and self love people will follow your example. Although, there is no guarantee that everyone will like me, I know my self worth and I won't allow toxic people to influence how I feel about myself. Wishing you good health and happiness always.
