Self-Love | Self-Compassion | Self-Acceptance

Self-compassion and acceptance are both necessary for those of us that have decided to to embark on our self-healing journey. By practicing self-compassion, we will have a gentle and more understanding relationship with ourselves. This involves treating ourselves with the same care and empathy that we would offer to other people that are facing challenges in their life. Acceptance, on the other hand, involves acknowledging our thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment or resistance. We do not judge ourselves, we only observe our thoughts, feelings and behaviors and make adjustments whenever possible.

When we are able to practice self-compassion and acceptance, we are better equipped to navigate the ups and downs of life with grace and resilience. This allows us to approach our goals and relationships with a greater sense of confidence and authenticity. By embracing ourselves fully and showing kindness towards our flaws and imperfections, we can unlock our true potential and make a positive impact on the world around us.

Remember that no one can ever love you more than you love yourself. You can be your greatest supporter or your silent enemy. When you choose to have compassion for yourself you will once and for all experience true love.

How to have Self-Compassion:

• Accept and acknowledge your thoughts and feelings without judgment.
• Decide if you want to live a unapologetically authentic lifestyle
• Surround yourself with people that nurture and understand you. It is better to be alone than to have people around you that make you feel uneasy
• Add a self-care day to your schedule. Choose one day out of the week that will be strictly just for YOU to rest and take care of your needs.
• Enjoy your life. "Overworking can be a punishment for the soul" Allow yourself time to rest without regret
