Let’s try a little experiment...
It may be uncomfortable, but it will be a major step towards self-acceptance.
Stand in front of a mirror and recite the following 5 times: “using your name, I love you.”
Look into your eyes as you say it, being meaningful while you say the words.
Avoid looking away or staring at what is behind you through the mirror. Don’t use the camera on your smartphone to do this exercise, let it be raw and real.
Ready? Ok, try the exercise now.
Don’t hurry through this, take your time.
What did you notice?
What did you feel?
Could you hold your gaze and feel the words I love you?
Some people are reduced to tears, others very uncomfortable, but if you did it, your on the path to self acceptance.
Doing this regularly will help you realize it’s ok to love yourself.
When you love yourself, life takes care of the details because everything else isn’t as important compared to the acceptance of one’s self.
