CARING FOR YOURSELF
BACK TO BASICS
LIVE IN THE MOMENT
When you are going through your skincare routine, cleanse, tone ,exfoliate and moisturise daily with care as if you are treating a persons skin who you really love or idealise!( Treat yourself this way ).
Eat and drink nourishing things as if you you are nurturing a loved one. Exercise and rest enough to feel motivated and alive. Be thankful for the gifts that you have and share them.
When we mindfully live in the moment , we appreciate everything so much more and concentrate on the right chooses for us. Ultimately this self love makes us happier inside and look and feel more radient.
I would like to share this with you . I read it some time ago and it makes sense.
As i began to love myself, i found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that i was living against my own truth,
Today, i know, this is Authenticity.
As i began to love myself i understand how much it can offend somebody if i try to force my desires on this person ,even though i knew the time was not yet right and the person was not yet ready for it, and even though this person was me.
Today i call this Respect
As I began to love myself, I stopped craving for a different life and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow.
Today I call this Maturity.
As I began to love myself I quit stealing my own time, and I stopped designing huge projects for the future. Today I only do what brings me joy and happiness, things I love to do and that make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in my own rhythm.
Today I call this Simplicity.
As I began to love myself, I freed myself of anything that was no good for my health-food, people, things that drew me down and away from myself . At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism.
Today I know it is Love Of Oneself.
As i began to love myself i quit trying to always be right, and ever since, i was wrong less of the time.
Today i discovered that this is Modesty.
As i began to love myself i refused to go on living in the past and worrying about the future. Now i only live for the moment, where everything is happening.
Today i call it Fulfilment.
As i began to love myself i recognised that my mind can disturb me and it can make me sick. But as i connected to my heart my mind became a vulnerable ally.
Today i call this connection Wisdom Of The Heart.
We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or others. Even stars collide and out of their crashing , new worlds are born.
Today i know: This is Life!
