How often do you talk sweetly to yourself?
I don’t think I ever talk in a loving way to myself, I used to. When I was little I used to express love and gratitude towards myself and my body. But the older I got the harsher I became.
I hung around people who put me down, consumed media that told me I wasn’t worthy and entered working environments that were toxic. I am realising how much of my suffering is the ongoing control and power that people who I don’t even know anymore have on my life.
The way I operate in the world, constantly seeking feedback, input, guidance from others so that I know how to be, what to do and how to feel. Enough.
Empowerment comes from realising that no one gets to tell you how to feel and think. Set yourself free from the boundaries and limits they set you. Immerse yourself in the positive vibrations of those who lift you up. Surround yourself with those who believe in you and celebrate you. Give yourself the permission to love yourself more than anyone else.
Speak sweetly with yourself, nurture yourself and allow lightness to become your way of being.
Life’s too short to be dictated by others.
Love Always,
