Give yourself Love and appreciation

I Just listened to my favorite podcast with jay shetty and Mel Robbins who are both persons that i can call mentors in my life. They bring authenticity and normality, they talk about all the subjects that everybody is afraid to talk about. They found peace in their heart and they want to share to the world how to find that peace for themselves.

All of that to say that Mel Robbins launched a book about the high five practice, which consists of giving yourself a high five every day. Basically it would be for you to get up and look at yourself in the mirror and just give you a High five because you are alive and you deserve love without any particular reasons.

She says that we way too often criticize ourselves for the things we didn’t accomplish or the things we did wrong. We think as humans that we deserve love only when we accomplish something, or when we succeed. In fact we need love and deserve just by being alive, i love my family and my friends for who they are and the moments we cherish together, i don’t love them for the job they do or the medals they got, i am happy for them as long it makes them happy of course and i will always be the first fan, however if tomorrow they end up without a job or get in à bad injury and can’t play anymore, i will still love them the same without a doubt.

The question is now why are we capable of loving others without à proper reason and we are so hard on ourselves to give us the same level of love???

Why is it so hard to compliment ourselves and feel good about who we are, even if we did not win anything today or we did not find our way yet in life or whatever reason that makes you talk shit to yourself.

We all hold different traumas that make it hard to give love to ourselves, yet things can always change around, we are always capable to shift our mind around and find that self love that is sleeping inside of us.

It might feel weird and stupid for you to look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are beautiful, that you are strong and worthy with no reason in particular but just because you are breathing, but believe me it’s a changer. Seeing beauty in your heart helps you see beauty in everything, the sun will shine brighter, the connections with other people will be stronger, you’ll be simply happier day by day.

If i could create a law it would be “ to give yourself 3 compliments every morning while you are spending time in the bathroom”.

Complimenting yourself or simply giving yourself love is what brings peace in your heart, and I let you imagine if we would all have that peace in our heart, the world would definitely be in peace and we’ll be healthier.

We are way too often focused on what the others don’t do, when the only focus we must put our energy on is on us, on our healing on our journey and just like magic it will spread around us.
