Part Four: Self-Love
by jedda · 63 things on Twos
- Never forget, YOU deserve YOUR love and affection just as much, if not more, than anyone else in the universe.
- You are more than that one broken piece of you
- The best time to be extra kind to yourself is when you don't feel like it.
- It's OK to not feel OK sometimes
- Sometimes not being OK is all we can register inside our weary minds and aching hearts.
- You need to distance yourself to see the situation clearly
- Just let go for a moment and remind yourself that the strongest sign of your growth is knowing you're slightly less stressed by the hard realities that used to absolutely overwhelm you.
- I am proud to wear my truth
- To be beautiful means to live confidently in your own skin.
- I am letting go of yesterday's stress
- I am priceless in someone's eyes
- Cherish the people who saw you when you were invisible to everyone else.
- Avoid: Not loving what is
- ⭐️ Love what you do, until you can do what you love
- Love where you are, until you can be where you love
- Love the people you are with, until you can be with the people you love most.
- Avoid: Letting heartache define you
- Don't allow your temporary wounds to permanently transform you into someone you aren't.
- Avoid: Disrespecting yourself
- Being kind to yourself in thoughts, words, and actions is just as important as being kind to others.
- The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving others, and forgetting that you are special too
- Avoid: Trying to control every last detail about everything
- Sometimes it's best not to assume, not to wonder, not to imagine, and not to obsess. Just breathe, do what you can, and have faith that everything will work out for the best.
- Letting go
- The biggest step in changing the world around you is to change the world within you.
- Picking yourself back up
- ⭐️ Sometimes when things go wrong it's because they would have turned out worse if they had gone right.
- The only step that matters is the next one you take.
- Being the change you want to see in the world
- Don't tell others how to live, LIVE and let them watch you. Walk the talk. The people who look up to you will likely emulate your actions, so be who you want them to be.
- Find a passion that makes you come alive
- Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
- Because what the world needs, and what every great story has, are characters who have come alive in the pursuit of something that inspires them.
- Work hard on that passion
- ⭐️ A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future.
- Change your path when you must, but keep moving forward
- Let go of the past and live consciously in the present
- ⭐️ Life can only be understood backward, but it must be lived forward
- ⭐️ The past is a good place to visit on occasion, but not a great place to stay
- Stop: Expecting people to be perfect
- When you open up to love, you must be open to getting hurt as well
- Stop: Focusing on everything and everyone except for you
- Stop: Holding on to the wrong things for too long
- ⭐️ To let go isn't to forget
- Stop: Avoiding your fears
- Your fears are your friends; their only job is to show you undeveloped parts of yourself that you need to cultivate for a happy life
- Know your worth
- ⭐️ When someone treats you like you're just one of many options help them narrow their choice by removing yourself from the equation.
- Know your value and what you have to offer, and never settle for anything less than what you deserve
- Don't let your old problems punish your dreams
- You'll never kill off your anger by beating the story to death
- Accept your strengths and weaknesses
- Everyone has their strength and weaknesses, and it is only when we accept everything we are, and everything we aren't, that we are able to become who we are capable of being
- Stand up for you
- Don't judge me until you know me, don't underestimate me until you challenge me, and don't talk about me until you've talked to me.
- Be honest in your relationships
- ⭐️ When you're truly in love, being faithful isn't a sacrifice, it's a joy
- Never give up on you
- Strength lives not only in the ability to hold on, but in the ability to start over when you must
- Stop judging, and appreciate the beauty within you
- The only greater challenge than learning to walk a mile in someone else's shoes is learning to walk a lifetime comfortably in your own
- Focus on the positive
- Our thoughts are the makers of our moods, the inventor of our dreams, and the creators of our will
