Lets Talk Self -Love…
Narrating into SELF-LOVE is the telling of your story and then being able to re-author your thoughts and feelings with the intent to transition into a feeling and life story that is empowered, of resolve, and peace.
Why self-love is important…?
Self-love is important because…
self-love can say much to life satisfaction and your mental wellness.
self-love reveals how you give to and show up for yourself.
self-love impacts how you view the world and others, and
self-love influences your thought patterns (beliefs, values, mindsets) and behaviors (choices and decisions we make).
Specifically, self-love is important because it…
reduces stress.
increases inner peace.
motivates you to recognize your worth and make the best decision for you even when it is the most difficult.
gives you the confidence to assert yourself.
teaches you that one bad day does not have a say for the days ahead.
encourages you to see the opportunity in negative feelings and emotions.
allows you to filter out unnecessary “stuff” or tune out “noise” around you.
makes efforts to try again anyway.
creates opportunity for learning and growth,and
strengthens you to choose you first.
Narrating into SELF-LOVE is a coaching experience where at times you will hear the word chapter. For this experience chapters are the stories you tell and continue to tell yourself, others, or do not tell at all. You are the main character in these stories and then you have other characters which are those you share or do not share a relationship.
When stories are suppressed, when emotions and thoughts are not fully expressed, and constantly told the same way and with the same energy, you become tied to that story. Consequently, and depending on the story, you build an identity and life on a foundation that is consumed with themes you do not want. Themes can be guilt, shame, anger, low-self-esteem, self-sabotaging, and dishonesty, etc. Taking this, if given the homework right now to title one of your chapters or an experience, what will it be? Is it motivating? Is it grounding or of inner peace?
Life’s chapters can involve failed and unsatisfying relationships, anxiety, sadness, disappointment, trauma, stress, lack of confidence, lack of trust of self, and emptiness, etc. These circumstances provoke further outcomes such as feeling unappreciated and unloved, indecisiveness, living by someone else’s feelings and thoughts, trouble focusing on the positive, self-criticism, struggling with finding purpose, overthinking, and/or sometimes not knowing what you feel.
These themes should be recreated, re-purposed, and re-authored to create a story of hope, resilience, happiness, balance, truth, and self-love. Taking action and doing different to change these themes found in our stories leads to transforming your title to something motivating and positive.
