Learning To Love Yourself ❤️❤️ Episode 2 : why do we struggle with self love?
Greetings friends and family!
Welcome to my imagenarium!
Today we will be discussing Self Love
Why do so many people struggle with loving themselves?
This is a common issue. If you have dealt with it you are not alone.
It is ok.
You are not broken.
There is nothing wrong with you.
Self Love can be tough
As we discussed in the last post, self love is
The act of accepting and supporting our selves.
Imagine if you were a magnet 🧲🧲 ...
You attract the things that you like,
And repel those that you disagree with
What happens if you disagree with some aspects of yourself??
That's where self loathing comes into play.
The opposite of self love, self loathing is the act of disliking and NOT accepting ones self.
Why does this happen?
We all have a value system. It's created mostly in our childhood and changes over time. This value system allows us to quickly make judgements about things in our environment.
The main reason people struggle with self love is because their value system is NOT in alignment with who they are.
Let me go deeper.
If we value intelligence but feel we are stupid, we will limit self love.
If we value courage but feel afraid, we will limit self love.
If we value height but find ourselves vertically challenged, we will limit self love.
Self Love is natural
What most people don't realize is that self love is a natural thing. We are born loving ourselves. We have to learn how to dislike and not love ourselves.
You always love yourself
You always have.
Self Love is abundant, ever present and ultimately compassionate.
The experience of self love ...
Is what you may be missing!
Thank you for joining me!
I hope you enjoyed this post.

The imaginarium. Haha.... I love that. What would happen if you stopped reminding people how HARD self love is? Cos everytime you do it seems a little harder to many readers. Self love is our natural state - we simply need to breathe and allow and it's already ours - nothing we need to go chasing for.

Yes but sometimes people have mental/emotional blocks that inhibit the experience of self love. I think I can share wisdom that teaches people hoe to get rid of these things. I do agree that self love is natural but many of us have taught ourselves that we are not worthy of it.

I just recently read Afformations by Noah St John, its full of AHA moments for me, its the missing link to why affirmations don't always work. Reading this I have added to my afformation list "why is self-love so easy", so my brain can get to work finding ways to do that and in my quiet time I can harness those thoughts.
