What’s keeping you from feeling worthy of love? For some, their worth is attached to things. They say things like “I’ll be worthy of love when I loose ten pounds, make more money or wear nicer clothes.” There will always be more weight to loose, more money to gain and trendier clothes to wear. The truth is, you are worthy of love right now, just as you are. You are deserving of acceptance because you are enough.To inspire your self-love, below I’ve got some reasons as to why you’re worthy of feeling, completely and totally in love. Open yourself up to yourself. Be a little vulnerable. See where it takes you.
You’re a Survivor- You’ve overcome a lot to be where you are right now. You’ve faced fears, been courageous and fought for yourself, without even knowing it. Take a look at those moments where you pushed passed adversity in order to be where you are today. Not only are you still alive, but you’re stronger for it.
The Past is in The Past- I always say that all we have is the present moment. Today, you are a new person and anything you did before —well, it’s history. Let it go. It’s only weighing you down. In the words of Kiran Desai “The present changes the past. Looking back you do not find what you left behind.”
You’re Human- You’re a human person. You didn’t ask to be put in this confusing world, so it’s okay if you make mistakes. No one is perfect, so the best that you can do is accept your imperfections. Accept them and celebrate them. They make you who you are.
You’re Special- This gets told to us when we’re young, yet when we grow up, we shake it off. We forget those little things that make us special. Yet, each of us is truly unique in our own ways. Remind yourself all the reasons why you’re special. You’re funny, you’re smart, you’re savvy. Remind yourself of all those moments where you felt special and try to replicate that feeling on a daily basis.
You Are of Value- You’re one of a kind and the world needs you. You are worthy and deserving of everything that you want in this life, including love.
