For most of us, it’s easier to get down on ourselves than it is to build ourselves up.
We often don’t get enough love from the world.
We are quick to give to others before we think to give to ourselves.So today, this month, this year… do something truly important.
Love yourself.
Be your own source of warmth, light and encouragement.
Good things start from within!
Here’s a few SELF-LOVING MANTRAS I came up with.
I think they’re just right for giving yourself that spiritual hug.
1. I am capable: I know I can do what I put my mind to doing. I may not get them perfectly right every time, but I give it my best and I love myself when I fail.
2. I know who I am and I am enough: I am beautiful. I am not the other man or woman that I envy, but being in my own skin is where I belong. I contribute things to the world that no one else can.
3. I choose to be present in all that I do: I’m not going to worry about the past, nor am I going to focus on the future. I am going to enjoy what’s in front of me, connect with the people next to me, and seize today and what I can control.
4. I choose to think thoughts that serve me well: I’m going to stop comparing myself to others. I’m going to stop focusing on the things I can’t change. I’m going to be strong about what I can.
5. I share my happiness with those around me: I have joy that other people can benefit from through words and expressions. I know the best things in life are shared, so I will spread what resources and positivity I can to those around me.
6. My body is my vehicle in life; I choose to fill it with goodness: I know this is the only body I will receive in this lifetime, and I will treat it with respect. I will provide my body the fuel, exercise and care it needs. I will remain whole and lovely at my core.
7. I feel energetic and alive: no matter what my health condition is, there are things about my body that I appreciate. I will hold on to the beautiful parts and send away any pain and aches. I choose to live the way I think.
8. I am confident: being me is enough, and I choose to be the best that I can be. I am worthy of being respected and acknowledged, and what other people say or do won’t affect the way that I view myself.
9. I always observe before reacting: I will take in the situation, the people and what needs to be done before I take any action. I will understand what the situation needs and act accordingly.
10. My life is unfolding beautifully: no matter what my circumstances, there is beauty everywhere I turn. I will drink it in and look at the silver lining rather than the dark clouds. I choose the light in my life.
11. I know with time and effort I can achieve: I will focus on progress rather than perfection. I know that I can get anywhere I choose, and be anyone that I want to be. I know it will take time, and I won’t be discouraged by setbacks, but instead propel myself forward.
12. I love challenges and what I learn from overcoming them: I take all obstacles as chances to get stronger. I don’t let them define me, but rather, I define the outcomes.
13. Each step is taking me to where I want to be: I am where I am because it’s where I’m meant to be. Each action is another step on my path, and I will value the journey and keep my eye on my destination.
