When it comes to certain areas of your life, your relationships, your career choices, your addictions, we usually know when it’s time to call quits.
A boyfriend that’s never present, a desk job that fails to fulfill us, a boss that leaves you feeling 10 inches tall… most of the time, we are able to recognize when it’s time to break an old chain in order to make a new connection.
But despite this, why do so many of us still struggle to apply the same logic when it comes to the relationship we have with ourselves?
Are you no longer listening to your own needs? Have you neglected your authenticity? Mistreated your self-image or abandoned your dreams? If so, then it’s time to crack open the Ben & Jerry’s and bring out the tissues, because girlfriend, it’s time to break up with yourself.
You’ve courted your doubts, limiting beliefs, and negativity for too long. If your relationship with yourself is not a happy one, then you need to do what you’d advise any friend in a crappy relationship to do, end it.
Your relationship with yourself is by far the most important one you’ll ever have. So don’t settle for average, what you want is awesome!
Don’t settle for less! Here’s how to dump the ‘average’ from your life and begin dating the ‘awesome’, in 3 easy steps…
You, yourself and I are long overdue a big chat. It’s not working out, you’re not getting what you need and if things carry on the way they have been (which they might unless action is taken), you’ll never get where you want to be.
You’ve kept your dreams on hold for too long… you’re sick of being put down or shut up… you need someone that believes in you, loves you for you.
You’re done. Face up to the truth of the situation, break it off, move on. You, my friend, are destined for bigger and better things!
Perhaps the reason why your past relationship with yourself wasn’t working, was because you were trying to build a relationship with a shadow. A figment of somebody else’s imagination. The caricature others have painted of you. After all, how could you grow to love something that wasn’t real for you?
Find your authentic self; create your own kind of awesome! True love, self-love, requires authenticity. Only you choose the person you want to be. Make that person somebody you can love, warts and all.
When you’re afraid to get to know someone, really know them, you are always going to be holding them at an arm’s length.
Don’t make the same mistake the second time around; when working towards a better, more brilliant relationship with yourself you need to get into the nitty-gritty. You need to do the inner work.
Loneliness struggles with resentment, debilitating thought patterns; you need to delve right in there and work through the stuff that’s been going on inside of you. Don’t worry, we all have this inner work to do. Truth be told, we always will. That’s why it’s so important we all learn to practice acceptance.
Like any relationship or any aspect of our lives, things can never be perfect. But perfection isn’t what you’re striving for. The key to an awesome relationship with yourself is accepting this and accepting yourself, for all the good, the bad, the messy, and the damn right beautiful that is within you.
Acceptance is the fuel of self-love; throw a little more on the flames each day!
The one person you can guarantee will always be there for you is yourself. So be there for yourself during the good and the bad!
The last step is to start showing yourself how much you love yourself, and how much you deserve in life. You can do this in many ways, and self-care is a great place to start. Whether that is enjoying a nice bubble bath, or have a lovely date on your own – it can help you to start loving the most important person in your life, you.
When you take some time out to take care of yourself you can also start to learn more about yourself and what you want in life. You can start listening to your own mind and doing things that are good for you, and things that you love – instead of settling for any less than you deserve.
A big part of loving yourself is achieving and letting yourself live the life you have always dreamed of. You can use the Law of Attraction to start manifesting your dream life, which can help you to start loving yourself and your life. If you cannot use the Law of Attraction effectively in your life, then there may be something that is holding you back.
