QOTW!
(Question Of The Week)
Sometimes you just need to appreciate yourself for all that you are inside AND out. Self love is most important because it reflects how well you treat others. If we feel good about ourselves, only then are we able to open heartedly accept others. There are enough critiques out there, for both women and men and we must not be one of them for ourselves. Were always plagued about how a 'perfect' woman should be like, thin, tall, pretty,young etc. and how a 'perfect' man should be, tall, handsome,nice body, no bald spots, etc. We need to let go of those stereotypes because no one is perfect nor will they ever be. There is always one flaw we can point out in ourselves only because of this "image" that society creates and our need to meet it.
Give yourself a break! There is no need to please anyone but yourself. Get comfortable with WHO you are as a person. Set goals for yourself that you must meet in order to feel achievement. Lose a couple of pounds to maintain a healthy weight, NOT because people tell you that you need to lose it. Do something nice for yourself, its ok to give yourself a treat whatever it may be. Be kind to others and to yourself. Take responsibility of YOUR life, don't let others take it for you. You are more than capable enough to do so =)
It seems a bit hypocritical of me to write this, because I judge myself a lot as well. BUT I thought i'd share my personal goals perhaps for some encouragement (for myself and YOU). I always put others before me and I am conscious about what other people think (certain times, not all).
What I would like to work on is my weight. I was never self conscious about my weight, ever. but recently, this is one thing I have been wanting to do for myself. To get to my ideal weight 120lbs! It would definitely help me love myself more, as well as boost my self esteem up!
How do you 'love yourself' ? I'd love to hear what you do to look/feel good about yourself. OR what your goals are to do so.

Hey there! :) I am currently on a weight loss journey to lose 108 lbs. That was my original goal, but I might be changing that, we'll see :). I have so far lost 40lbs and feel 100x better about my self. I have been hitting the gym, watching what I eat and I've dropped a dress size. This is my motivation to want to continue my healthy lifestyle. I look good, but I feel better. :) My inner beauty is now radiating outside as well
ReplyDeleteThats awesome, really. and that's what is most important, how you feel inside and how it keeps you going.Thnx for sharing =) I didn't start working out yet, but have been trying to eat a lot healthier than I used to. I weigh like 127 but want to be about 115-120. It will definitely boost my self esteem up =)
