Self-hatred and being critical of ourselves often seem easier than loving and supporting ourselves. This bizarre phenomenon is, unfortunately, part of the human condition, rooted in our tendency to believe our thoughts, and let our inner critic rule our ;lives. .
The Power of Belief
The MOMENT you believe a thought like "I am unlovable," "I am not enough," "I am high maintenance," "I am boring," "I am bland," "I am ugly," or "I am dumb," you separate yourself from the reality that you are inherently lovable. In fact, you are, in essence, LOVE.
Why is it easier to hate ourselves than to love ourselves? The answer lies in the nature of our thoughts and our relationship with them. When you believe and connect to the truth of what is, and align yourself with the fact that you are simply LOVE, self-criticism loses its grip. However, when we fall into the neurosis of the mind that convinces us we are not love, it's crucial to catch these thoughts and practice self-love in every moment, finding peace in the present.
Embracing Your Intrinsic Lovability
Even when you feel sad, lost, disappointed, rejected, or any of the countless stories you tell yourself, these thoughts and feelings do not diminish your intrinsic lovability. In your heart of hearts, you must remember that your worth and lovability remain intact, regardless of your thoughts or feelings.
Maintaining thoughts aligned with self-love, compassion, and kindness in every moment is key. It's how you treat yourself that makes life not just doable but easier. Loving yourself eliminates the need for external validation—whether it's the perfect outfit, high distinctions, a perfect home, or constant happiness. You are enough, just as you are.
Navigating Life's Difficulties with Gentleness
Life is at times difficult, but the question is: can you be gentle with the difficulty, be easier on yourself, and love yourself regardless? How we treat ourselves matters most. It sounds simpler to love yourself, doesn't it?
Your love for yourself should remain constant, regardless of any situation, experience, or emotion. Catch those negative thoughts and redirect them toward self-love. The present moment is a profound source of love. Here, there is no story about yourself, no suffering—just acceptance, allowance, and love. In the now, nothing is wrong, and nothing is happening that your thoughts can distort.
The Flow of Self-Love
In this state of self-love, life becomes easier, purposeful, and synchronistic. Self-hatred disconnects you from the flow of life, fusing you with fear and negative thoughts. This disconnection makes everything seem adversarial, but in truth, it's your thoughts that go against the natural flow of life.
All suffering arises from resisting what is, usually because we cling to a story about ourselves or how we think things should be—an attempt to control. This mindset prevents us from seeing life as it is: conspiring with and for us.
Mastering the Mind and Heart
Master your mind, and you will master your heart.
Our aim in life is to transcend the mind and strengthen our relationship with self-love. The goal is to fall in love with ourselves and notice our beauty, strengths, and value. The reality is that we are inherently lovable.
The Journey to Radical Self-Love
Radical self-love is a journey of embracing your true essence. It's about recognising that beneath every negative thought, every self-critical story, lies the fundamental truth that you are love. By catching those thoughts and choosing to align with love, you create a life that is not only bearable but beautifully aligned with your true self.
So the question I pose to you is... "What needs to happen for you to make a change?" what needs to shift for you to begin to radically love yourself?"
It is time for you to embrace the moment, believe in your lovability, and realise you are love, and you are enough.
