Learning to Love Yourself
Written on January 5, 2009 – 11:59 pm | by Lena
I had this amazing coaching session with Shileen Nixon this afternoon and the basic message that came out of it was that I really need to learn how to love myself.
We can probably all stand to love ourselves more than we do. If that weren’t the case there wouldn’t be so many people with facing the health issues, especially the self-inflicted ones, as there are. And with all the signs I’ve been given lately about how our emotional state influences our physical one… let’s just say I’m gettin’ a headache from being hit over the head with so much evidence.
It’s even more important for people, women especially, who are coming reclaiming themselves from abusive situations. We have to kinda hit ourselves over the head with the knowledge that we are beautiful and worthy of our own love, because we sure as hell ain’t gonna let no one else hit us over the head for awhile!
Now, me being one who needs step by step instructions, I went and looked around for some concrete steps I could take in addition to the ones Shileen recommended and I found this great video with great suggestions on how to love yourself.
Enjoy!
