All of these traits open the door to negativity towards an individual. It allows a person to take advantage of you, talk to you any kind of way, as well as talk about you right in your face with no regard for how you feel.
When I think about the “Art of Self” I look at the
uniqueness of loving thy self. I see all of what life has to offer in loving
yourself. Now don’t get me wrong. It has not always been this way. There was a point in time in my life that I
exhibited some of these same feelings.
If we want to be honest with ourselves, I believe it is safe to say that at one point in our lives we all didn’t know the art of loving ourselves. There are some that still don’t know how to love themselves.
Today, I want to discuss several “Selfies” that deal with
the “Art of Self” and being so in love with yourselves that it makes people
gravitate towards you because you know who you are and who God created you to
be. You should own all of your “Selfies.”
1.
Self-Awareness – The Art of Self-Love knows you love
yourself unconditionally. You’ve learn not to take anything from anyone unless
it’s constructive. If it’s to benefit you in bettering yourself, then you feel
comfortable in hearing what someone has to say. If it doesn’t benefit you then
you feel comfortable in letting that person know that you love yourself enough
today and you will not allow them to speak to you in a manner that is not
respectful. Anything else is not up for discussion. You own your self-love.
2.
Self-Confidence - The Art of Self-Confidence is
when you can walk with your head held high knowing who you are. You are God’s child and you are not afraid to
display your confidence. As long as you don’t get a crook you should be fine.
If you do, bring it down a notch, lol. We are not trying to cause any neck
troubles being self-confident but you do want to let the world know you are confident
in the skin you are in.
3.
Self- Esteem – The Art of having High Self-Esteem
proves that you know you deserve to be treated well. You are just as important
as the next person and you are not afraid to put someone in their place if
there’s a need to. You can look in the mirror and tell yourself I love
everything about you and feel comfortable in doing so.
4.
Self-Worth – The Art of Knowing Your Worth shows
that you know you are worthy to be loved. The thought of someone not respecting
who you are as an individual sends sparks shooting in the air. You are not
willing to forsake your worthiness so someone else can feel superior. You have
learned that you are worthy and no one can ever make you feel unworthy again in
life.
Now let’s take a look again at these “Selfies.” You may be
thinking is it possible that I can achieve the “Art of Loving Myself?” My answer to you is, of course you can. It’s
all about taking a leap of faith. It’s about stepping out of your comfort zone
to start loving yourself.
1.
Begin my waking up every morning and saying I am
God’s child and I am worthy to be loved. Today, I will love myself
unconditionally regardless of how I feel. Today, I am confident in the skin I
am in. Today, I make this declaration to love the good and bad about myself.
2.
Next, when you are in the bathroom grooming for
the day’s activities, look in the mirror and repeat everything you said when
you first opened your eyes. While looking in the mirror, smile. Own everything
about yourself. Whether you have pimples, scars, skin discoloration, moles, it
doesn’t matter get comfortable in the skin you are in. God created your
uniqueness so own it.
3.
All throughout the day, repeat number one. It’s
all about repetitiveness. When you say it enough you will start believing in
yourself and realize “you are worthy,” “you
are confident,” “you are loved,” and “you are one of God’s unique creation.” If
you have a mirror by your desk, take it out and look at yourself and be
repetitive in your declaration of loving yourself.
Remember, you have to plant the seed and water it so that it
can grow. Make sure you water it daily better yet water it several times a day
so that you can blossom into the person you were created to be. It will take
time but remember you are worthy and you deserve to finally learn how to love
yourself and be comfortable in the skin you are in.
Can
you offer any other suggestions for someone learning how to love themselves? If so,
share in the comment suggestion.
