Connecting with your inner self
Hey everyone,
Welcome back!
I hope you've been well. As I'm recovering post op, I am getting better which is 👍 so I'm back with more newer post to share with you today. As I've learned from November 2018 till now when I was dealing with my health issue, life has taken me down a path I've never been before.
From realizing what really mattered to challenging me to go out my comfort zone - it's amazing how beautiful life is 🌺 . Life can be so unpredictable but at the same time,somehow makes everything align. I did loads of reflection during this whole journey and the most important lesson I learnt was how important connecting with my inner self is.
📌 I've realized how much time I have focused on what others think of me and pushing away my thoughts and feelings. During this whole journey, I put more pressure on myself by taking on more things that I could - by trying to prove people wrong and by making myself as second priority. Despite what was going on, I've had people close to me that reminded me how I need to take care of myself mentally and physically which leads me to the next point.
📌 Self love is really important.I then decided to take more into account what I wanted to do, how I was feeling and listen to myself more which not only helped calmed me down pre-op but also, it made me appreciate what I have and be more mindful. Self love involves various things from treating yourself ,to not blaming yourself and just being kind to your inner self.
📌When it comes to treating yourself, you have no idea the amount of times I told myself - 'right,I'm going shopping. I need to browse, I need to get new shoes...OMG sale' - YEAH 🤦♀️, doesn't help with Christmas sale & boxing day sale happening at the same time. I ended up spending so much during the month of December to compensate my shopping period in January cause of recovery 🛍️ 😉 but you know what? It helped - its my form of self love. I've discovered new styles of clothes for me, I discovered new ways to love my body and new activities that I enjoy doing which is what connecting with your inner self is all about.
📌 Knowing your worth is part of being confident with who you are. Learning to smile and find happiness during down times is a sign of courage and optimism which shows you respect yourself of what you are currently going through but nevertheless, I'm going to enjoy this moment - enjoy today cause it feels right for me 😊 .When you are in a place whereby you don't need any external influence to make you feel any better, that's when you know what you deserve and what you want . I learnt that when I realized I don't need everyone supporting me or caring for me - I just need the ones that matter most to me & that's more than enough.
📌Last but not least, when it comes to connecting with your inner self - do it with a pinch of salt. Talk to yourself like you would in front of a mirror or when you talk to the camera during a vlog. Be who you are , and don't lose any of that spark 🎇 . Be your own best friend and believe that no matter what happens in life, every scar or every turn has become a chapter of a new adventure in your story book .
So don't give up when life changes perspective or direction for you - it's unpredictable for a good reason and so I hope this post has inspired you to reflect on your inner self and love every part of it because you know what - 😎 why not?
Take care everyone and I look forward to seeing you in my next post,
G
