Let’s revisit the 10 days to Self Love 💕

💕 D A Y O N E 💕
💓 Before anything - before even considering any relationship - you must first and foremost love yourself. You must show utmost appreciation for the incredible miracle that you are in its parts and the sum of its parts.
💓 Each one of us is a divine, miraculous expression of life. No two people - from the beginning to the end of time - are ever created alike. Not even Identical twins. Each one of us has been created for a divine purpose and a signature that we are destined to leave behind as what’s known as a legacy. When we love ourselves, we are in tune with the Universe and it flows through us as we flow through it. Our gifts blossom and we become the highest version of our being: marvellous creators of life itself.
💓 Yet most of us go through life in complete denial or blinkered to this reality. As if it only applies to a select fortunate or privileged group of people and the rest of us are destined to be a lower being from cradle to grave. From birth we listen to cues from our parents and the environment around informing us about who we are. In fact, what we are learning is not who we are as much as we are learning how they project their own experiences, likes and dislikes, prejudices and affinities upon us. Our identities are lost in translation as we embark upon a society that can often be cruel and in a rush to place its judgement and condemnation upon us. And we call this ‘reality’ or, even worse, the ‘truth’.
💓When you go against the grain and start to truly love, acknowledge and accept yourself without judgement, you become someone who is extraordinary. Your life has no choice but to become extraordinary to reflect who you are.
💓 In the next 9 days, I will give you guidelines and techniques to develop your self love wherever you may be at this moment in time in relation to that. They may seem simplistic and commonplace, but there is a reason these techniques have been practised since the dawn of time and continue to prevail despite the rise and fall of many civilisations in between. Practising these techniques (some or all) consistently will make a world of a difference to your wellbeing, improving the quality of your life in ways that will surprise you.
💓The most important practice you must put in place immediately is this:
Stop All Criticism.
Make a solemn vow now and forever more that you will stop criticising yourself; that every word you say to yourself from this moment on, will only be a word of kindness, support, healing, understanding and complete compassion.
💓 The fact is that everyone seems to conspire to hide from you is this: you are whole and complete. You are perfectly imperfect. Just like a piece of Japanese Kintsugi art. Every line and sketch in your being that you may dislike is there for a divine reason. You are part of a complex and intricate universe that works in ways beyond your comprehension. It is impossible that there are any mistakes in this universe for any mistake would upset its balance and function. Everything is whole and complete including you.
💓 Criticism never changes a thing. And if things do change, they change negatively because they’ve changed in unnatural negative contexts. However when you approve of yourself and make any changes from that place, the changes you make become transformative. They are created from a level of integrity that will make them consistent and long lasting bringing true joy into your life.
💓 We are powerful beings and our power lies in our power to create and change our thoughts: in the power to CHOOSE our words and thoughts. When you get to a healthy level of self love, you will realise that you have the power to choose and create the life you wish to live and the relationships you wish to enjoy because that love will seek to be expressed and in turn will be projected back at you.
💓 And it all starts with this simple step towards self love.
💓 So make a vow right this second to only give yourself words of love, support, healing, cheerleading & absolute unwavering advocacy for your Self. Look at every inch of you and tell it how much you love the miracle that it is. Our forms, no matter how it’s shaped, is a miracle that even the best science today could never fully comprehend its mechanisms and yet here it is right here serving you in the best ways that you would let it. Replace your critical statements with ‘I AM’ affirmations of all the beauty that’s within you. These statements are the most powerful way to elevate your energy.
I AM beautiful.
I AM loving.
I AM generous.
I AM powerful.
Then watch the Universe affirm them back to you.
💕 The effect of negative self-talk has on our subconscious is identical to the the harm smoking has on our lungs: It’s toxic. Dangerous. Leaves us fighting for our breathe and it keeps healthy people away from us because they would want to protect themselves from this toxicity. 
💓 Cherish and adore the incredible miracle that you are especially when you feel that no one else does. Because your need for external validation ends today.
💓 Today begins a new era in your life of Self Love.
