Last week I talked about how you cultivate self love through all the seasons of life & as I mentioned it certainly hasn't been easy for me!
I know this is something many people struggle with, so why not talk about it some more 💗
Developing your confidence and your self-esteem is SO important & for some of us, is a journey of promising to stick up for ourselves and to show up for ourselves too!
This confidence is one that comes from within - it can't be bought, given or borrowed from anyone else.
If your view of yourself is dictated by how other people treat you, you'll be pulled in 100 different directions and it will be impossible for you to grow a positive and loving voice within yourself. Not to mention its also PAINFUL! 😞 Both emotionally and spiritually because your view of yourself will continue to fracture and it's so hard to feel centred and trust yourself in this space.
When was the last time you based how you felt about yourself on how someone else treated or viewed you?
I encourage you to reflect on WHO and WHY so you can be aware of the next time it happens.
The funny thing is… this can go BOTH ways.
You can view yourself negatively because sometime has treated you horribly OR you can rely on the compliments of others to keep your confidence up.
Both mean that you're relying on others to know how you should feel about yourself and this is so tiring - believe me, I've been there!
The same is true for self-love, if your self love is based on the negative or positive actions of others, you'll feel like a yo-yo and it won't last or nourish you.
You DESERVE to feel good about yourself and cultivate an inner confidence that makes you feel happy, safe and secure.
This weekend, how will you cultivate confidence for yourself? 💜
