Self-Love — Beliefs, Scripts, Feelings and Recovery
By Sue Ellson
Self-love has always felt like a weird selfish and self-indulgent activity for me and I have never been one to believe that a day at a health spa will miraculously make me feel better about my life (but hey, I’m always open to more spa treatments!).
What I have learnt is that I have to believe in self-love if I am going to feel self-love.
So here’s a starting point for a few topics related to self-love.
Self-love
Yes, we all need to love ourselves. But do you practice self-love? Do you confuse self-care with self-love? Do you still feel hollow after a purchase, an experience or some helpful advice?
Self-belief
Yes, we all need self belief. But do you believe what you think? Or what you do? Do you still feel like an imposter even when you perform well?
Self-worth
Yes, we all know deep down that we deserve more. But do you believe you are worthy of more? Are you truly grateful for the blessings you already have?
Self-time
Yes, we all know that we need time for ourselves. But when you have that time, do you truly embrace it? Do you stop thinking about other things and maintain mindfulness?
