Radical Self Love…..
What does it mean really????
We can’t talk about Radical self love without addressing that it is going to be very different for each individual person.
The things that shape this definition is influenced by a person’s cultural background, personal and collective experience, beliefs and opinions.
One may have truly experienced what it is to Love one’s self and another may be just trying to figure it out. Another divine human may have never experienced the feeling.
Where ever you are on the spectrum; take a moment and breathe in. Exhale, when you think about what you need, desire, and is essential for you to LOVE yourself in a deeply devoted way; what comes to you?
Write it down in your journal. This will be your own personal foundation.
Key Elements to Radical Self Love….
Acceptance
Confidence
Vulnerability Empowerment
Body love
Boundaries
Forgiveness
Expression
Let’s break it down a little further…
Acceptance - This Is Me
Do you? Can you…. accept all parts of yourself? Oooooo…… This is either an easy or challenging thing to ask yourself.
Stand in front of the mirror and ask yourself this question. What is the self talk that immediately comes up in your mind? Positive? Negative? OR Neutral?
Can you look beyond the physical? None of us in this world are PERFECT. Yet this is what society celebrates and rewards the most. We are playing a losing game.
In this 21st century of redefining what you actually celebrating and learning to love about yourself?
It is by design that certain powers and agendas don’t want us to accept ourselves because it takes our own individual power away.
Reclaim your power by rejoicing to the top of your lungs THIS IS ME, FLAWED and BLESSED. (Shake your booty and say) I AM AWESOME!
Confidence - F**K Yes!
You are magnetic. Belief is what anchors your confidence.
Your confidence is the deep seeded belief that you are fantastic even in the moments when you do not feel like it.
Yet we put up walls to separate ourselves from the truth; Or you receive a comment or opinion or experienced something that fragmented your light.
Your confidence is the I can do it! Lisa Nichols references this “even when your knees knocking, teeth chattering, heart racing….” You can do it.
You can move mountains. You can share your beautiful soul purpose gifts. You can stand up for yourself. You can go up to the person and ask them out on a date. You were created and sculpted from the highest frequency of love.
What needs to heal so that you can believe in yourself?
Vulnerability - Own the imperfections and its OK
It is the imperfections that make us all unique and interesting. Vulnerability taps us into our feelings.
It connects us to our humanity.
It prompts you and I to open our hearts; to realize when we have made a mistake and also to broaden our perspectives.
Opening to our vulnerability dismantles fear, shame, disappointment, and disconnection. It allows you to drop the walls and bring people into your heart and soul.
Go ahead release the judgements, cry, or just say how you are feeling.
What is your relationship with being vulnerable?
How do you desire to take your power back?
Empowerment - I am Powerful
Your womb holds the seat of your power.
Your voice is the expression of your power.
Your body is the visual embodiment of your power.
Everything about you is an energetic frequency of your majestic presence.
Yet we need to be reminded everyday that we have this within ourselves.
Your body gives birth to LIFE, the codes of CREATION are within your body. This alone is pretty powerful.
But who tried to take your power away? How will you snatch it back?!
Body love - I am learning to love all parts of my body
All the magazines, photos, and visual images can not define the love and acceptance for your body.
What do you LIKE about your body right now in this moment?
With so much content in is being shared it is hard not to compare our bodies.
Your body is your body. You are uniquely beautiful.
There is only one you.
Take a moment, celebrate, and pour love into your body. Even if the only thing you can say is …. I like how my nails look today. This is a start.
Boundaries - Discernment of your precious energy
Do you communicate what you need? Are you sacred if another rejects you? Do you put another’s needs before your own?
We all do it! You are not alone!
We live in a culture that celebrates burnout instead of Nourishment and rest……But…. we are changing that!
Your energy is a high valued resource. When it is depleted we get exhausted, resentful, and sick. All that stagnant energy gets held in our tissues and in the womb space until it is cleared.
Ask yourself what is holding you back from honouring your boundaries? What do you need to clear so that you can be in your overflow?
Forgiveness - I release what is not mine to carry
Forgiveness releases the shackles around the heart. It releases the weight of unresolved emotions.
It helps to get unstuck in repeating patterns and being the victim. It supports releasing the story or energy that is not yours.
It is not an easy thing. It is not about bypassing anything.
It is not about the other person.
It is about FREEING yourself so you can move forward in your life.
Ask yourself: Who or What do you need to Forgive?
Expression - Small I am not : My presence; My voice is enough
You were never meant to live this life and be small in any space. Part of your soul purpose is to share your voice and gifts for the betterment of humanity. Take up space not from a mentality of over powering another but from the devotion of respect, love, integrity, and unity. We don’t want a carbon copy of someone else. We want you. You are enough!
Repeat this to yourself:
My Presence; My voice is enough!
My Presence; My voice is enough!
My Presence; My voice is enough!
My Presence; My voice is enough!
My Presence; My voice is enough!
