The world is full of noise, a perfect noise so that you do not hear anything, not even yourself, your true self. Because surely you are continuously listening to your thoughts full of external noises that you make yours.
Be yourself, dare not to be a clone of that madding crowd. Can there be anything more wonderful than having the courage to be yourself and love yourself as you are?
Didn't they ever tell you that you have your own identity, that you are a unique and special being? That they never taught you to love yourself? How many times have you felt unhappy, alone, misunderstood, hurt…? Always expecting something from someone.
If your interior is confused, if you have a void that you do not know how to fill, if you do nonsense that you are later ashamed to fill that void, if you do not feel full, tell me then what is it that without words you transmit to people with the ones you relate to?
To have a healthy life you have to have high self-esteem, and this begins with respect, trust and love for yourself. In order to be successful in life, inner security is extremely important and this security begins when you love yourself and take care of your growth as a person.
Working the methodology of Louise L. Hay I learned to love myself, and I know that it is not easy, I had no direct guidance from anyone, I did it by practicing the exercises that she recommends. I had many highs and lows, times when I was flipping through the books of rage.
I thought that everything was a lie because I did not see the progress and I was impatient, however I never gave up and got something that I have longed for since I read your book "You Can Heal Your Life" to be Hay Teacher and to be able to teach other people.
I worked hard on the ten steps that she teaches to boost self-esteem and start loving me, today I leave three of them for you to be encouraged and do not take a minute to start practicing them.
1. Stop criticizing yourself
Unfortunately, criticizing and gossiping is the order of the day in any meeting, whatever it may be; tell yourself a work meeting, a chat with friends, the queue at the supermarket…
And of course there is criticizing yourself, that internal dialogue that does not leave the puppet with a head. You always find something to reproach yourself and it starts: "You are stupid" "I am a mess" "I am a mess and a half" I am lazy "," I am not worth anything "" I am stupid "" No one listens to me because I only speak nonsense ".
Then you become the victim: "No one understands me" "No one understands my point of view" "Nobody cares"…
Stop criticizing yourself, observe yourself, value yourself, when you think you have made a mistake, focus on what you have learned with that failure, grant yourself words of support saying that next time you will do much better.
When you find yourself criticizing yourself, correct whatever you have said to yourself with a phrase of encouragement and support.
2. Stop scaring yourself
How many times have you caught yourself thinking catastrophic things? When you have something to solve, how much negativity do you create with reference to that? You make a mountain out of a grain of sand, you create your own fears.
This usually occurs when you are sick, when you have stayed with someone and do not appear or do not call; you start to think the worst, at work if you hear any negative comments the first thing you think is that you will be fired.
All those negative thoughts that scare you and make you suffer are negative affirmations that sometimes take shape in the real world, quickly combat that with positive affirmations.
Do what you have to do to solve your issues and banish any painful or negative thoughts, get used to banishing them with positive and enriching ideas. Then acting in this way will come naturally to you.
3. Be kind, loving and patient with yourself.
As I mentioned, something that slowed my progress was impatience. Impatience is a resistance that needs to be uncovered and released, so when you begin your inner work to change patterns and begin to love, value, respect, be kind and patient with yourself.
Patience is powerful, cultivate it, flee from immediate gratification because it is fleeting and ultimately it is useless. Enjoy while you walk the road, see how little by little your habits change for the better and you feel powerful and brave.
It is normal to make mistakes when learning, and whoever does not make any mistake does not learn. Things do not change suddenly, do not give up and practice, in the long run you will rejoice and feel proud of yourself.
