Love Yourself: Embrace Your Past to Love Yourself!
Filed Under Emotional Healing, Life Coaching, Mental Healing
It is a truism: If you do not respect yourself, nobody will. Stated differently, if you don’t love yourself, how are you going to get anybody to love you? You — and you alone — provide the model for how others treat you.
So here are is one key way to learn to love yourself:
Embrace your past. Certainly, you’ve had a heartbreaks in your past. However, whatever is in the past, it is important to leave it in the past. The past is past. There is little that you can do to change it.
Allow yourself to learn that the past has made you the person that you are today. Rather than regretting the past, endeavor to learn from what has occurred in your past.
When it comes to change, be clear with yourself. While you cannot change what has occurred in the past, what you CAN change is the present — the here and now.
