How do you express self love? Do you go out and not give a damn about what people think? Wear a shirt because its your favorite shirt in the whole entire world? Even if the shirt is a little bitt tight you wear it anyway? Not caring what people think and putting aside that itty bitty little voice in your head that tells you your being judged by others? You love yourself by not caring what people think. You love yourself by knowing that it is YOUR life, you are in control and by knowing that no matter what you do, you are the only one that can truly make yourself happy.
So many times you see women that are stuck in these relationships that just make them miserable. But they dont realize that they dont need to stay in these awful relationships that do more harm then good. We as women do not need a man to make us happy. I believe whole heartedly that in order to love someone else you must know how to love yourself. If you don’t understand your self, your needs, your wants, what makes you happy, how can you possibly try and show someone else? It’s impossible.
If you are not comfortable in your own skin, how can you let someone love it. If you shudder or think negative every single time you look in the mirror, how does some else telling you that your beautiful change that? It doesn’t. You will never think your beautiful unless you believe it. How do you believe, how do you change this mindset? How do you go from being so umcomfortable in public to not caring, to thinking that you are the queen of your universe. And only you.
First, you take baby steps. You start the beginning of every day with a cup of coffee. Or tea or whatever it is that gives you the opportunity to sit back and give you a peace of mind. You start your day by thinking that its going to be a good day, and that even if it goes wrong, its going to be okay because you tell yourself that its a bad day, not a bad life.
Second, present your self as truly as possible. Dress yourself up the way that makes you feel like you are wearing your own skin. And if that means make up, then wear make up. If that means that your tired of wearing make up because you only do it ecause its what every other girl does, go barefaced. Go natural even if you’re scared, it he’s you realize that people do see you and they notice you, it makes you feel unique. Because even if that “something looks different” comment is said, don’t think of it as its a bad thing. Think of it as wow. They see me and they noticed and pay enough attention to me that they were able to tell that difference. You are seen even when you don’t realize it.
It’s. All. About. The. Mindset.
