A Journey to Self Love

 


                                   You are Peace. You are Love. You are Beautiful. 

    What do you see when you look into the mirror? Are you staring at the stretch mark or the blemish on your face, how about that extra layer of skin you having been working out day and night to get rid of. Why are you so fixated on these things when in reality its the inside of you that radiates and shines through more beautiful than anything else. 


    Loving ourselves, easier said than done. Of course you are the one looking at yourself day in and day out so that makes you the judge and the jury of of how you are perceived. When you look at yourself do you see the beauty? Do you see the peace that resides beyond just the physical aspects of yourself ? Are you taking the time to love on the parts that you believe are unloveable? Self love, is a concept that has become so hard for our generation but only because of the wild exceptions that are set in our view. We are in the age of social media, likes, subscribes, retweets, these things have become so important to us. When did we become so fixated on what others think about our image or our growth? It is important now more than ever to take the time to love on yourself. You are beautiful starting from the inside and going way beyond the physical but beautiful through your mental as well. I know it can be hard wanting to have a slimmer waist, longer hair, a larger top or bottom, clearer skin, to be taller, to be stronger but the reality is wether you gain or lack these things are will still win. You will win because although you may not have these things you think you require you are still wonderful and everything God intended you to be. It's important to learn to fall in love with yourself. I'm personally still on this journey of self love and discovery but I had to learn to wake up everyday and tell myself "I am loved and I am beautiful". Even when no one else lets you know this, you are. Here are a few other things I would recommend to help continue on your journey of self love. Take some time to write affirmations, post them them all around your bathroom or your room so that they can serve as a daily reminder of the wonderful person you are and the things you WILL accomplish. Listen to some of your favorite artists, whoever gets you in the mood of knowing how powerful and beautiful you are. Take some time to write down your goals for yourself in the future, this will serve as a constant reminder of the things you are on a journey to accomplish. Walks in the park just to give you peace of mind and to truly take time to be with your inner self and thoughts. Remember to laugh, even when it hurts or when you have made a fool of yourself just take a moment to find the humor within the situation because we have all been there. Prayer, who or whatever you divine being is remember to ask for guidance and peace whenever you need those points of clarity. Self Love is not acquired overnight so do not rush the process, but it is obtainable. The person you are is only half of what you are intended to be, there is so much more growing for you to do. One thing I do know is that you are beautiful and you are peace and that no one can change that narrative about you but yourself. Continue working towards becoming the person that you can grow to love and always remember that it starts within yourself. 


Much Love,

Living through COVID

               You can still have go out. You can still hang with friends. You can still live life, safely.               2020 was a stressful year for everyone, when this unexpected virus hit the world. We all saw it starting to go down but no one understood the  serverity of the situation until it was to late. With the blink of an eye the normal life we knew turned into wearing masks everyday and having to social distance away from the ones we love. 2020, an unforgettable year to say the least.     I can say it has not been easy trying to live through a pandemic. When it first hit I was in my last few months before graduation and I was so hyped about experiencing my last few parties, hanging out with friends, and just making the most out of my senior year. I still remember where I was once I knew that this wasn't going to be gone anytime so...

The Power of Faith

                     I think that when we are younger we don't quite understand the meaning of faith. I know when I was young and going to church I honestly use to fall asleep.  It wasn't that the preacher was boring or that the choir  wasn't great, it was just the simple fact I didn't understand that I was supposed to be thanking God for everything that was given to me. I understood that there was always a higher being but I honestly felt as though as long as I thanked my parents I would continue to be okay. It wasn't until I had to go through real life situations that I completely understood how indeed power God truly was.                I was in college and I was going through a really tough time. Of course I had my friends  right there with me supporting me and being listening ears but somehow it wasn't enough. I found mysel...

Toxicity: Engaging in Healthy Behaviors.

                              Remaining intuitive. Remaining grounded. Remaining peaceful.      I think often times we try to find the flaws within others that we forget to take a look into  ourselves. While others around us have toxic traits there are ones that lie within yourself unknowingly or knowingly. It is up to you to figure out what they are and learn to work towards bettering yourself. Learn to identify what makes you toxic and how can you evolve from it.  So lets take a moment to ask ourselves how do we honestly define "toxic". My personal interpretation of toxic is having a trait that you know is negative and outputting onto others or sometimes yourself. Wether we do this intentionally or wether its just a natural part of the human make up we wanna take the time to better understand what it is that makes us want to indulge in this toxic trait. Over the years I have ...
