Knowing how powerful love can be and how the strength of that love can take you to higher heights is incredible. I know I've grown a lot in these past two years, when it comes to loving yourself and knowing your worth. That's why i wanted this post out sooner than later. It's so important that you do love yourself and that you are able to know yourself, as you're able to properly guard your heart and also know what you allow in.
As people, we spend so much of our time knowing other people, that we know so much about them and not enough about ourselves. If you haven't already, Focus on finding your inner beauty, inner happiness and inner love and allow all these qualities to extend through to your relationships.
Earlier in the week, I did this exercise. Try it out. Wherever it says "Love" or "It" replace it with your name and read it out loud to yourself.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, It does not boast, It is not proud. It does not dishonor others, It Is not self-seeking, It Is not easily angered, It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight In evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, It will pass away."
- 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8
Did you feel weird? How far did you get till your face screwed up?
The first time I did it, it hit me that I couldn't even get passed the first line... Patient?!? I'm so Impatient. Nonetheless, soon after I realised I had so much work to do within myself, but that's the beauty of it. As a result, we are forever adapting and morphing into something greater than we already are.

Working on yourself is loving yourself. These are the steps I took by myself last year. I hope It helps you too!
1. If It doesn't make you happy, why are you doing It?
2. Trust and listen to the spirit inside of you.
3. Don't be afraid to say "No".
4. Be Kind to yourself
5. Be active, challenge your being
6. Stop complaining, find solutions
7. Stay away from drama and negative situations

8. Learn to Love all of your parts
9. Have at least one space/ sanctuary you can retreat to if you ever get stressed or anxious. This could be a hot bath, prayer, meditation space, notepad or a quiet room.

BTW: You don't need permission to be amazing. You were created to shine bright, so keep that light. You were designed to lovingly, spiritually and physically evolve in ways that never existed in your family or even in this world. We've all been blessed with the utmost beautiful gifts; but if you don't ever love yourself and know yourself, you'll never unlock their truths. Anyone can imitate, so create. Create yourself. Choose to create your path unapologetically.
Stay Blessed!
