Self-love is an action. Love yourself. It requires forgiving yourself for mistakes and losses and being able to talk to yourself about life without condemning or blaming yourself.
Self-acceptance guided meditation and script to learn how self-love can lead you to effective self-improvement in your personal life and career.
When you are overwhelmed with doubts, fears, and insecurities, you sometimes exclaim, “I wish I were somebody else!” More often than not, you think and believe that most people are better than you are. In reality, the same people are more scared than you are!
Isn’t it funny? You see other people, and envy them for living perfect lives, and wish you could trade places with them even just for a while. On the other hand, they look at you and think of the same things!
You are insecure of other people who, in turn, are insecure of you. You suffer from low self-esteem and a lack of self-confidence. Ultimately, you lose all hope of improving yourself because you are mired in quiet desperation over your life.
Stop thinking of yourself as a second-rate being. Quit thinking “If only …” thoughts. Accept your true self. This is the first step to self-improvement. Stop comparing yourself to others! Aspire to become your best self.
The difficulty, the conundrum, that we face in learning to love ourselves is that the particularly upsetting emotions associated with low self-worth have the horrible capacity to "erase" our sense of self and self-worth altogether, leaving us, in fact, with no self to love.
Every human being on this earth is aware of what love is. Though we may not have an intellectual knowledge of it, we all do. We are it at our core, which is why we are aware of it.
In our physical form, we are not separate from source energy. We are manifestations of source energy, which has the exact same vibration as love, instead. As a result, love is something we can never truly run from. We get to choose whether we want to fight it or accept it in this life, but it is a constant.
Love is the foundation of the cosmos. So, love is a basic human instinct. If we just allow ourselves to be open to accepting it, like flowers opening to the sun, everything becomes possible. Your life will be created according to your preferences.
You'll also be able to say, "I love myself," with genuine sincerity.
Fortunately, kindness and tolerance are displays of love. particularly when they are aimed at you. You'll start to feel more like you again—full and in love—as soon as you take this one step.
MeditationLifeSkillsPodcast.com strives to present meditation concepts that connect east and west, tradition and science in a non-sectarian way, from multiple traditions, without promoting any particular technique or method.
One important principle I try to accomplish is to take complex ideas about meditation and the not-so-well understood meditation principles and help you understand how they can fit into your life.
To your success in meditation!
