Self Love

This is an article I published on Medium in 2019 Cactuses are better enjoyed out in nature than inside your mind. Learning to edit your self talk rids you of your inner thorns. One of my biggest life lessons is to have become very good at editing my self talk. Whenever I catch myself saying anything negative towards myself I automatically change the thought into a positive one. I wouldn’t tolerate any of my friends or family talking badly about themselves so why should I tolerate that for myself? Basically, I don’t take any shit from myself anymore. It has been a long journey but by constant practice it gets easier and easier to edit...

A lot of ego centric behaviour actually comes from a place of low self...

I have been reading the book True Love: A Practice for Awakening the Heart by one of my favourite teachers, the Wonderful Thich Nhat Hanh. This book gives you a very deep insight into what it means to truly love, as opposed to only professing your love. Being good at love is probably the best talent you could possibly have. Unfortunately it seems like our ideas about love, especially romantic love are lacking in a fundamental way. We love people and yet they do not feel loved by us. We don't really know how to show love and still, to love and be loved is vitally important for us to feel joyful...

If you only do one thing for yourself today, make it loving yourself. Love yourself completely, even if just for one minute. For one minute focus only on self love. Suspend all judgements, put your all your flaws aside, don´t think about all the things you should be doing or should have done better in the past. Don´t think about anything at all, only feel. Only feel love. Even if you succeed doing this for only 10 seconds you have done something great. If your having a hard time try looking for a memory.
