When you’re working on returning to self-love, you may have to throw yourself a pity party. A pity party is when you allow yourself to feel sorry for yourself. We all have those feelings, but most of us shove them down because we were told not to have them. But in truth, if you are feeling sad about your life, feeling sad about what’s happening to you, it’s OK to throw yourself a pity party. You don’t need to make…..
When working on returning to self-love, you’ll have to look back at your life. You’ll have to look back at the things you thought you had healed or perhaps shoved down or moved past and realize you’ll have to bring them to the surface again. This time, we need to heal them with love and compassion. We all have things that happened to us when we were children. Most of the time, we shove them down or ignore them until…..
When working on returning to self-love, there is a point in your journey that you’re going to have to own your own inner demons. Now, what I mean by inner demons is, let’s say you’ve been working on the bully who’s been in your life. Who’s wounded you, and who you’ve called forth again and again and again? At some point, you’re going to have to look at your own inner bully. Or let’s say you’ve worked with jealousy in…..
When working on returning to self-love, you’ll have to look at your inner orphans. Inner orphans are those parts of yourself that you disowned, shunned, or simply tucked away to keep safe from harm. We look at our orphans so that we can add more love to our lives. We look at our orphans because behind our orphans come our negative beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. We look at our orphans because behind their pain lies great…..
When working on returning to self-love, you’re going to have to become your own best friend. Self-love actually is about love and learning how to love yourself. Now that doesn’t mean it’s about going to the spa, or eating well or going to the gym, or setting boundaries. All of those things are very good things to do but that’s really not about self-love. Self-love is about learning how to love yourself. How to be compassionate with yourself, How to…..
When working on returning to self-love, there will come a point when you have to heal your emotional triggers. Now, we all get triggered in the outside world. Someone pushes your emotional button, someone says the wrong thing, or someone really bugs you. Well, there will come a point where you have to own that this is your emotional homework, not the person who’s triggering you. So, heal your emotional triggers. That’s the only reason you’re responding to the trigger……
When working on returning to self-love, you’ve got to wake up your imagination. We’ve talked about this before, but during this time of crisis, it’s important to use your imagination to think of the positive things—the things you want to happen—the things you dream to happen rather than getting stuck in worry. We tend to use our imagination to create worries and fears, and then we get in a loop of worrying and fear. During this time, start using your…..
When working on returning to self-love, you will eventually realize that you cannot make a decision for another person. You only make decisions for yourself. We like to give our opinions and judgments on what other people should be doing. But in truth, if you’ve done your self-love work, you realize you have no right to tell someone else what decision they should make. Each person is on their own journey, on their own path, and the rock that they’re…..
When working on returning to self-love, you’re gonna realize one important fact: all the work you’re doing – all the healing you’re doing – all of the negative beliefs that you’re changing – all the orphans that you’re healing and bringing forward – all the work you’re doing inwardly is to receive love. In truth, everything else is window dressing. We remove our walls from our hearts to receive love. We change our negative beliefs to make them more loving…..
When working on returning back to self-love, you’re going to have to take your honesty to a new level. Most of us spend most of our lives lying to ourselves. It’s time to be honest with yourself. If you find that you’re angry with other people or cussing them out – telling them to screw off, you need to look underneath your anger. Because underneath your anger is what you need to heal. It is most likely hurt or fear……
