INGREDIENTS OF SELF LOVE

Hi Guys, have you ever thought about what self-love is?

Self-love is more important before giving someone your selfless love. Yes, you read it right because it helps to build the strong foundation of our personality. Selflove helps you feel happy within you and your nitch which you build for yourself.

Have you ever doubted your worth because of any circumstance or situation in your life? If Yes, then my friend you are lacking self-love in your life and all you need to spend some time with yourself and try to love yourself first.

Let me share an incident of my life so a few times back something tragic situation came into my life. It was tragic because it broke me emotionally and mentally and all that made me believe that I am not worthy and being happy is not my cup of Rum (Sorry I am not a tea person).

But One day while going through my old pictures, I saw a picture with a pretty smile on my face kept staring at my smile in the picture like a hungry beggar looking at a plateful of food. I wanted to smile like I was smiling in the picture so I looked at the mirror with that picture in my hands since I haven’t smiled for weeks It was hard for me to even move my lips to smile but I tried to smile but I was so broken that instead of smiling I starting sobbing like a kid. I understood It won’t be easy for me but I was determined that I won’t give up. So I starting looking at myself thrice a day and I would practice smiling. I could see that my lips are trying but my eyes aren’t accompanying my lips. My eyes were still reflecting my pain.

So, I spent some time with myself and then started my journey to collect my own INGREDIENTS OF SELF LOVE. I said my own ingredients because being a different individual we all have our own different ingredients and recipes of self-love and to know those ingredients and the recipe we first need to know ourself like on my journey my ingredients of self-love were the things that makes me happy and I used to do when I was happy smiling in that picture like cooking, going out spending time with family and friends, watching movies, dancing on my own tune, reading books, listening music and much more.

Although I was on a great journey to love myself using every ingredient still I would suddenly start crying but it's okay we all are humans and it takes time to build ourselves. So don’t panic or feel like you are failing if you go through the same because that sudden crying is also a part of your healing journey as it helps you in flushing out all the pain from your heart and soul.

Therefore, after a few months when I saw myself in the mirror I was no more trying to smile as it came from within and this time my eyes were equally accompanying my lips in smiling.

So don’t depend on anyone or any situation to be happy. Just collect your Ingredients of self-love and give yourself endless love, pamper yourself. Be the Sun of your life and let the surroundings (People and Situations) be the planets revolving around that sun and keep shining no matter those planets revolve around you because you yourself are the source of light and happiness in your life.

And I am not saying be selfish don't love anybody. In fact, giving love to others brings love to your life however just keep in mind to have your dose of self-love while you are giving selfless love to others. Be grateful for who you are and what you have.
