1.
Create a space for yourself.
It's
very important to have a place or time for just yourself. Have fun creating a
room or personal corner that fills you with joy and feels like home. Date
yourself and find your likes and dislikes. Enjoy who you are.
2.
Spend some quiet time by yourself every day.
If
noise and activity constantly bombard your life, you are drowning out your
inner guidance. Enjoy the quiet time, sit or lie down, and just be.
3.
Listen to the little voice inside of you.
Learn
to distinguish the voices behind your inner dialogues. Don't ignore your higher
self. You may make your life harder than it needs to be.
4.
Ask yourself questions; never assume your answers.
Challenge
yourself with questions daily. Work from a self-knowledge base rather than
answering to please or rebel against others. Be honest about who you are or you
may disappoint yourself and others.
5.
Find an activity that fills you with joy.
When
we do the things we love, we love the life we have and learn to love ourselves.
6.
Wake up each morning and do an internal check.
Before
you jump out of bed and run off to the next activity, take a few moments to be
with yourself and check-in with how you are feeling, what you are thinking, and
where you are going.
7.
Let your spirit define who you are rather than the outside world.
Don't
dress outside in, dress inside out. Wear your spirit proudly and attract more
contentment to you. Don't rely on an external image (i.e. clothing, hairstyle,
and status symbols) to tell you who you are.
8.
Be honest with others about your needs and boundaries.
Once
you know what you need, let others know. Don't mix your messages. If you remain
silent, there's a chance of disappointing yourself and others more than the
truth ever could.
9.
Process what others have to say about you.
Don't take their words for Gospel,
but don't ignore it. Let
perspectives outside of yourself give dimension to your internal picture.
Balance between taking people's words as ultimate truth and ignoring what is
being said. Realize everyone sees the world through his or her own filters
(past experiences, needs, wants). Listen for the truth with love.
10.
Give thanks to the force that created you.
However
you name the force that created you, give thanks for who you are. When you give
thanks, you acknowledge your beauty and have the ability to cherish yourself
more and more.
