Up Your Self-Value
Many of us have wondered why we feel so little of ourselves. Others have been feeling without value because we were somehow made to believe this myth. While others feel low because we have been beat down so much by life and at times by abusive connections: jobs, relationships and experiences. Some of us are so angry that we have literally commited crimes like killing or beating up someone. Whatever happened to make us devalue ourselves there are sure fire ways of upping our value.
By intentionally thinking about loving ourselves we can do a few things that will lift our spirit like:
1. Take a course in an area that you would like to improve upon or that you feel would resonate for you. A dance class, a photo shop class or a sewing class could lift your spirit and make you feel better. A simple action like this can lift you up.
2. Do a self make over. Get a few pieces of clothing that fit you well and flatter you. Choose colors that you like or just get some basics that you can mix and match. Got the nearest mall and get your makeup done. Buy a beautiful rose lipstick or lotion for your skin. Buy a great pair of shoes that will go to work or play. You can make yourself feel better when you look better.
3. Write a letter to yourself that you would like to receive from someone who cares deeply about you and thinks highly of you. Write it in a way that showers you with compliments, love and compassionate words. Read the letter the next day and expereince how it lifts your spirits.
4. Play and play like a child. Go out to a park and jump on a swing, then swing up high enough but low enough to jump off the swing. Play like you are back to your childhood and give yourself the freedom to feel playful and joyful.
5. Give yourself a gift. Go get a new pair of socks or even just a pair of underwear, maybe a scented candle will do. Wrap your gift at home and make certain to tie a ribbon with a bow around it. Open it in a few days as if someone has given it to you. Your gift could be anything and if you feel like you'd like a toy then make it a toy: a teddy bear, an electric car or legos. Become excited at getting this gift and think about how valuable you really are to yourself and others.
6. Call someone and ask them to tell you what they like about you. Ask them to make a list of the traits they feel you possess or the gifts you have to share. It is OK to admit that you need to hear it from someone and that they be honest. Limt them to positive traits and then share those you find beautiful in them.
Walk the walk and do these things to lift your heart up Let go of the things that no longer serve you. Speak up for yourself and honor your inner child. Play like a child. Give yourself what others fail to give you or what others cannot give you. Do this with sincerity in your own heart center. You will feel the difference instantly.
