Helping yourself is half the battle... by: Dawn Abraham
Hi,
First and foremost it is about liking yourself and building a relationship with you. It is impossible to have healthy loving relationships with others when you don’t like yourself let alone love yourself.
Your life is a reflection of your feelings about you that is why you are experiencing so much insecurity and torment. You are trying to get acceptance and approval from the outside, from other people and other things. That will never work there will always be someone who doesn’t approve.
It is about first accepting you for you. Let it be okay that you’re not skinny, and ok that you have some issues to work through, we all do. That is what life on this planet is about, learning, growing and awakening. It’s okay that you don’t have it all figured out, that is the fun part, the journey. Embrace the journey and turn your torment into a fun experiment. Life is meant to be fun, remember that.
I wrote an article about developing self esteem that gives direction and action steps to take to start down the path of building a relationship with you, which is really what is missing here.
Both of those articles deal directly with the issues that you are talking about and give you action steps to start to move out of unhappiness and into acceptance and peace.
Let me know how it goes.
I wish for you all the happiness and peace the Universe has to offer, you deserve it!
