Self Love.
Thursday, June 22, 2017
Life isn't the easiest thing, if it was it would be boring. I live with the constant reminder to be proud of myself, to keep my head up and continue fighting. While I try to live with little to no regrets, there are definitely things that I haven't been proud of in my life. To remind myself that every decision made has brought me to where I am today, definitely keeps me in check.
Self love is all about going way on yourself and remembering that one day your actions will all make sense. The pain and hurt will be worth it. People's thoughts of you will be insignificant. And the people you decide to surround yourself with will be next to you through your entire journey. Similarly, I've struggled with learning to let go and instead look forward. Accepting life for what it is.
Self love and care is something that I've had to teach myself for quite a while now but I've mastered the various ways in which I can chill and zone out while I restore my mental health. For me, a hot bath with a hot cup of tea (or red wine, depending on the day) is a great place for me completely rid myself of the outside world. I put my laptop out of reach with a movie and leave my phone beside my bed. Another, is to go outside and read a book. Reading a book requires full attention and therefore I can't be thinking about the crap going on around me.
I've also needed to teach myself not to take everything so personally. Forgive, move on and let stuff remain in the past. That one has taken me quite a few years of therapy and other such rememdies, but deep down I've learnt control and how to keep my cool. *shoutout to the best psych ever!!!*
