shift how you view yourself and value yourself

[Sandydemop]

hi everyone, came across this today. what's it like to believe you deserve unconditional love? and treated accordingly (mostly by ourselves)?

[JSSimp]

Wow! I really like that.. I am still working on more than one of those topics. I am still trying to get through the fact that I feel guilty sometimes for the self-care that I do, It can sometimes seem selfish… I think I finally figured it out, though if I don’t take care of myself with the exercise that I need, then I am not gonna be able to be there for all of my other people.

[Sandydemop in reply to AquaZumbaFan]

this is 100%v true. nothing to feel guilty about. you can't fill from an empty cup.

[AquaZumbaFan in reply to Sandydemop]

working on the goal to change that crazy mindset.. you seem very grounded- Ii just joined.. I have NEVER been in any sort of support group.. it feels nice to be with people that may have “ been there and done that”

The first thing that comes to my mind about unconditional love is my dog.

[Sandydemop in reply to whwiechm]

i get it. I saw this quote: "I strive to be the person my dog thinks i am." Pure unconditional love. can we give that to ourselves?

i have started using my walker in public instead of relying on my husband’s arm to keep me balanced and, though embarrassed by needing a walker (rollator), i have been having a LOT more interactions and feel i have a lot more confidence in myself. I feel like my personality is going back to my old self! (After ALL these years!)

[Sandydemop in reply to Neworleanslady]

that's great! i know just how you feel. I was embarrassed but this is not my (or your) fault. Allow yourself some grace applies here. 💛

[stepsforNeeC]

I love this!!!!! It's so "spot on" correct 💯 about life and people and not allowing negative energy in our space. Thank you 💕 NeeC

[Sandydemop in reply to stepsforNeeC]

Hey NeeC thanks. i appreciate the reminder that i can choose who i allow in my space. this one: Stop going back to the places that hurt you in the past.

[stepsforNeeC in reply to Sandydemop]

Yes my friend!

I used to teach this to our cosmetology students. "If you don't love yourself how can you expect your clients too?" I had them stand in front of the mirror everyday before starting their work on the clinic floor & say "I love you." We believe what we hear ourselves say more than what we hear from other people. Our students with low self esteem progressed greatly over the year & by the time they graduated they were confident & felt good about themselves. Thanks for sharing, we can all use this as a reminder of who we are.🤗

[Sandydemop in reply to hairbrain4]

my pleasure hairbrain4 ! i might have to put these up on a mirror or something. We deserve to feel loved and lovable.

[hairbrain4 in reply to Sandydemop]

Thank you, Sandy. This is very challenging for me. I know I don't always treat myself very well, or believe in and support myself. I will work on that.

[Sandydemop in reply to leking1]

hi Leslie, i am there with you. that's what makes this so meaningful. Let's pick one: Today/this weekend i choose: to focus on who and what i love. 💛
