Love Yourself!

Amos Rebecca Buba

Hey you! Yes you reading this! I am referring to this wonderful creature, give me a smile! Hope you know you’re very special. There are so many unique things about you. Oh least I forget there is no one in the entire universe that is you. Amazing right! In case you don’t know, you deserve all the love you are getting and even more. This love shouldn’t be from others only but yourself.

Do you love yourself?

Deep right?? Knowing that you deserve love is one thing and loving yourself is another. You are the most important person in your life, so love you! Many believe their parents, siblings or partners are the most important people in their lives but that’s not true. You are the most important, people come and go but you are stuck with yourself all the time till death. So, why aren’t you loving yourself?

Self love is not about your being self absorbed, it is about giving yourself the opportunity to get in touch with you, know your well-being, be happy, cherish yourself and love your body parts.

Loving yourself can be challenging for many people especially when they are facing difficulty times. But it is not impossible, you can be in a difficult situation and still be the best to yourself. Self love enables you crash your obstacles, push beyond your boundaries and live the life that’s allows you shine as a star which truly you are!

Having any difficulties loving yourself?

Here are some positive practices to embrace while loving yourself…Enjoy!

No one can love you as you love yourself, daily start your day by speaking positively to yourself, recently I read in a book that while speaking, your body is also listening to you, so your words should be positive. Your daily affirmations should be to edify not downgrade yourself. Be the first to compliment your outfits, make over and give yourself that killer smile before you give anyone else. Take pictures and admire yourself!

In order to be able to give yourself sweet compliments, you need to take care of yourself. Always be neat, gorgeous and carry yourself with high esteem. Practice healthy eating, take care of skin. Spend quality time cleaning and making yourself presentable, it boost your confidence and makes you happier. Don’t listen to anyone that says the body is dust and don’t deserve care. Your body says a lot about you. Let it give the right message.

Your physical look is a reflection of what you put inside your body, always eat right, fill yourself with food and drinks that are healthy, make sure all you eat will nourish your body and give you the perfect glow. Treat every illness with all seriousness and be attentive to changes to your body. Know your allergies and give your body what it loves most.

Also, no man is an island, have people around you, keep friends and surround yourself with people who truly love you and support you genuinely. You can’t always have things under control, they are meant to encourage and remind you how awesome you are and that you will pull through. Sometimes having someone to clap for you is more pleasant than clapping for yourself.

In addition, the fact that you need people around doesn’t mean you should allow negativity. You don’t need any form of toxicity. Cut out anyone who presents any form of toxicity regardless of who the person is. You don’t need anyone making you any less amazing. If you notice anything that only focuses on your flaws, then they aren’t meant to be in your life, let them go!

Everyday you are making moves towards achieving your dreams, be gentle on yourself, celebrate your small wins, stop waiting for a day to celebrate, you should do that daily! Cheer yourself and be proud of your achievements. You are your biggest fan. Don’t wait for someone to clap for you. Start the clapping now!

You know there is only one you on earth, so why compare yourself to others? Your reactions and choices are entirely different from any other human, so embrace that uniqueness and love yourself. You are not running a race with anyone. Your only competition is the mirror, if you ever feel like making comparison, compare you to yourself!

How can you love yourself and not grow is that even possible? Learn new things, explore places, enrol in classes, attend webinars and learn how to be better versions of yourself. If where you are isn’t allowing you to grow, step out! Leave your comfort zone and try something entirely new. You never can tell what you can do unless you try..

You are one awesome person and wonderfully made. Embrace everything about yourself. Don’t focus on trying to be like others. Love yours and watch other love you more.

Always remember there is only one you! Be yourself. Don’t waste time not loving yourself!
