Secrets to Self Love: 4 Ways To Elevate Our Self Worth
I used to believe self love was just an annual New Years resolution - a reveal party to elevate myself. But then there's that song in my head - don't set the bar to high because you might fail. Wow! How did we get to this place where we just tolerate ourselves - not celebrate ourselves?
Well this journey of self worth has had some very dark moments, where holding a candle for myself has been a brave act with a shaky self esteem. I can't tell you how many times I dropped the candle and just stood in the dark feeling completely alone and scared with questions. Is this all there is? Will I ever be happy? Why do I feel this way? When will things change?
Typically, I found it easier to be to busy and stuff myself with chips to face the dark. But I got tired of the pattern of self sabotage, replaying that song that makes us feel inadequate, over and over again. It gets exhausting just existing & listening to myself - a broken record. Instead of tormenting myself, I started digging in to create learning tools, disbanding weapons.
Guess what? We are a walking vault of secrets, pain & wounds buried inside our soul. The burden can be heavy because we also inherit pain & wounds from our ancestors, i.e. our neurons carry & hold energy. The way to elevate ourselves is to heal. Healing writes a new song that elevates us to self love - our true love song.
