8: Self-Love Pajama Reflections
-
- Relaties
This is a vulnerable and an unplanned post. This morning, I stopped my yoga practice, grabbed my phone and started recording. So apologies if the audio is noisy and I sound incoherent.
I was thinking about what I look for in others, and in particular, reflecting if I have those qualities in myself as well. And I came to the realization that I have some work to do in terms of self-acceptance and self-love too. I like myself. I won't trade any part of me, my consciousness or my life with anyone else. Seriously. At the same time, it's easy to love yourself if you look at the world with optimistic-tinted lenses, believe in your brimming potential, and love the image of who you want to be. And you should. But do you also love yourself for who you are now? Your angst-ridden, never-ending-existential-crisis-acne-filled self? Self-Love is both self-acceptance for who you are now, and self-love is always making an effort to be the person you want to be. It is both. So here's my rambling about it.
I’d love to hear your reflections too. Email me at pajamareflections@yahoo.com
