START LOVING AND TAKING GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF

START LOVING AND TAKING GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF



If you feel like you're losing many things in life just remember that trees lose their leaves every year and they still stand tall and wait for better seasons to come to regain their leaves. Yesterday is already gone, tomorrow is not yet here. Today is already given to us which is the most important day of our lives yet. Be grateful to God, right your wrongs and start being intentionally useful with your life. 


Love yourself enough to set boundaries and teach people how to treat you by deciding what you will and won’t accept. 


At times I get disappointed in myself because I know I'm way better than some of the choices made and the things I chose to deal with. But I have learned that the person I have to ask for forgiveness from the most is myself. You must love yourself. You have to forgive yourself everyday, whenever you remember a shortcoming, a flaw, you have to tell yourself "That's just fine. It's okay, I won't do this again". You have to forgive yourself so much, until you don't even sen those things anymore. Because that's what love is like.


Treat yourself. Go for medical check-ups. Know the state of your health and wellness.

Grand gestures might feel good sometimes but in order to truly change your perception of yourself, you need to perform lots of small, seemingly insignificant acts of love and self-compassion. Instead of splashing out on expensive luxury items all the time, you should endeavor to;


° Live Healthy, eat healthy foods, get enough sleep, exercise regularly, and avoid drugs and alcohol. Manage stress and go for regular medical check-ups.


° Practice good hygiene. Good hygiene is important for social, medical, and psychological reasons in that it not only reduces the risk of illness, but it also improves the way others view you and how you view yourself.


° See friends to build your sense of belonging. Consider your circle. Make sure everybody in your boat is rowing, and not drilling holes when you're not looking. If you are the only one among your friends pushing, striving to be better, change circle.


° Try to do something you enjoy every day. That might mean dancing, watching a favorite TV show, working in the garden, painting or reading.


° Find ways to relax, like meditation, yoga, getting a massage, taking regular bath or walking in around your street or even a garden.


To be honest these things works like magic. 


These days, I still feel myself slipping sometimes, but I catch it early and course-correct; so that I feel better about myself and attract more people who give me the respect I deserve. The change it has made, in terms of the quality of my life and my levels of happiness, is astonishing.


Ajahn Brahm said, “Love is loving things that sometimes you don’t like.”

Fake it until you become it. Miracles do happen from certain state of discomfort. You've gotta trust the process. 


People may write you off. They will say negative things about you. Friends may despise you. Families may neglect you. But an entire sea of water can’t sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship. Similarly, the negativity of the world can’t put you down unless you allow it to get inside you. You are very important, never give up on yourself!

LOOK WITHIN AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY

Image
While growing up as a kid, My Daddy & Mama taught me that I am responsible for my own actions. “This is my doings, I am responsible”. Now I understand better. Every action taken has an equal and opposite reaction. Your thoughts and actions are the seeds you sow, which you have to reap at some time or the other.  You cannot look at a mango fruit and ask where it came from.  Surely, one must have sown the seeds now growing in the garden of their life at some point. Galatians 6:7 - "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows". Proverbs 9:12 - "If you are wise, you will be wise for yourself: but if you scoff, you alone will bear it". Take a very good look at yourself and pay a great attention to your life, you will realise that nothing is happening to you accidentally in life.  Everything is being arranged and orchestrated by you, and by your sub-conscious meticulously.  Yes, you might find it difficult to believe at first and questions like ...

SELF-ESTEEM: HOW TO OVERCOME LOW SELF-ESTEEM Self-esteem refers to a person's beliefs about their own worth and value. It encompasses the feelings people experience as a result of their sense of worthiness or unworthiness. It is an integral part of how individuals perceive themselves and interact with the world.

It serves as a driving force that makes individuals more or less likely to take care of themselves and strive to reach their full potential.

They believe in their worth and capabilities, which makes them resilient and more likely to overcome adversity.

TURNING YOUR WEAKNESS INTO STRENGTH

Image
  "When life gives you lemons, you just need to learn to make lemonade." This popular saying highlights a profound truth: challenges and limitations are opportunities in disguise. Strength and weakness walk hand in hand—they are two sides of the same coin. Understanding this interplay is key to transforming your life. Understanding the Connection Between Strength and Weakness Strength isn’t the absence of weakness; rather, it exists alongside it. Weakness is simply the mirror image of strength, and the two are inseparable. When we try to view them as separate entities, we risk misunderstanding ourselves. True self-awareness lies in recognizing that greater strength often brings greater vulnerability. To grow, we must embrace both aspects of ourselves. How to Turn Weakness into Strength The journey to transforming your weaknesses begins with a mindset shift. Here are actionable steps to help you harness your strengths while addressing your weaknesses: 1. Embrace Your Weaknesse...
