It’s Monday and you know what that means. Time for another Self Love Monday post. I hope everyone has an amazing week. I plan on making mine a great one. I am still enjoying show myself some love for my mini victories. It is helping me in so many ways. Now lets get to it.
I have always struggled with my self-confidence. I always doubted who I was at times. I doubted my own beauty. I had moments when I would call myself ugly. But as I get older and have been taking better care of myself I am starting to see that I am pretty. No, I am beautiful. I finally caught on to the fact that if I am not happy with something it is time to change it. I started wearing the things I felt comfortable in and doing my hair the way that I liked it. I could see a similar trend among my friends. One of them got ear piercings and a beautiful butterfly tattoo, and I could see how happy and more confident she was after that. I understood how important self-care is and that’s why I also started splurging on myself more. Buying things that make me happy. Getting over my fear of certain things. Like what people think and just beating myself up. I also started taking care of my health better, so my diet has improved and I regularly visit a dentist similar to this Herndon dentist to take care of my teeth. Little things like this also make a big difference to mental health.
I feel as I move towards focusing on myself more and showing myself more. I am finding out that I am a really great and beautiful person. So I started to find my confidence the more I took care of myself. I realized that I deserved to treat myself better especially if I wanted others to treat me better. I am not into plastic surgery but a few of my friends who are gained their confidence boost through getting things like a botox brow lift, which looks very natural and made them feel proud about the way they looked. But for me, I had to embrace everything about me the good and the bad. Building my confidence has helped me to find the courage to stand up for myself more as well. I am learning to demand to be treated. I am showing people how I deserve to be treated. As my confidence continues to build I am noticing so much that I didn’t notice before. I notice how people change and react when you become stronger. They either respect you or they don’t know. But I am ready to see who is prepared for the new me and who isn’t. Only time will tell.
Not sure what self love means. I know to love myself or no one else will. I guess for me it all depends on what’s going on in my life time at that moment. I mean I could feel good &love myself. If I feel bad I hate everything.
I just mainly had issues trying to find things to like about myself. I would beat myself up before I actually found something I love about me. So I am trying to just embrace myself.
