How do I love myself? Oh this sounds so simple to do but it can be so hard to do. To be honest, I don’t know the answer but I can give you the top 3 tips that have helped me feel like I am totally AWESOME
1. Give your self a nickname – mine is Star Burst – this name was given to me by a close friend- I love everything about the words and the images it conjures in my mind. I want to be Star Burst! Embracing this name has actually help me figure out who I want to be and how I want to be. The thing is when you look at the type of person you admire and how you would like to be more like them, if you actually sit down and take a look at your strengths and your good qualities, you are inherently that person you admire- you just haven’t spent the time nurturing your awesomeness or invested in learning how to strengthen and enhance those qualities in you. Get learning, find resources to progress you, listen to other peoples stories and their how to….. then make it better.
2. Ok it’s time to stop hiding behind the trees. AArrggghhhh it feels like shit but……. You have to be seen for all the good and the not so good- VULNERABILITY. That’s what makes others comfortable to be around you and makes you less serious, more accessible and creates joy. There is freedom in exposing your acceptance of you. When you acknowledge your strengths and challenges, somehow you develop a pride in all the experiences that have brought you to who you are now- truly amazing how you have navigated that unchartered territory ad come out the other side shining. Celebrate that and laugh about
3. Give to you……… celebrate your wins. Reward yourself for sticking to your boundaries, completing a project, paying off your car 4 months early, exercising 5 days in a row. Give yourself something. You will begin to glow and will want to continue to step into AWESOME YOU!!! Remember, there are things in you that only you have access to, no one else, choose to share it so that the world doesn’t miss out on that gift.
OOOOOOhhhhhhhh I want to hear what you do!!! YAY!!!!
