Main apni favourite hoon.

“Oo, she has those awful blackheads.”

“Ah, such a skinny one”

“Tooo.. curvy n pansy”

“Ugly and black, Oreo toned”

🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

This gradually leads to...

The inner voice:

“I have a pimple. I don’t wanna go out”

“Shit, the facial hair! How I’m I gonna show up?”

“Maybe I should lose some pounds”

“I’ve this ugly scars which everyone would notice 😩”

The origins of the voice of the inner judge is simple to trace: it is an internalisation of the voice of people who were once outside us. 

Sometimes, a voice is positive and benign, encouraging us.

But more often, the inner voice is not very nice at all. It is defeatist and punitive, panic-ridden and humiliating. An inner voice was always once an outer voice that we have imperceptibly made our own.

In a world where we’ve been raised to put others first, self-love can often feel selfish. Setting aside time for self-love causes feelings of guilt, and we struggle to maintain a dedicated self-love practice. It’s frustrating. We know we need self-love, yet we have difficulty giving ourselves permission to experience it. Ironic, isn’t it?

In order to create that loving relationship with yourself, you’ll have to recognize your needs. Without self-love, you are dismissive of your needs; you ignore them, while prioritizing the needs of others such as your partners, friends, family, and coworkers. Self-love is all about  indentifying our needs  making them a priority in your life. It’s about doing what truly feels right for you.

There’s no harm to think a little more extra for yourself.

It’s not wrong to pamper yourself.

It’s not bad to compliment yourself daily.

Just feel good , accept yourself, be firm on your goals and what you want, just know every situation has a brighter side.

You are beautiful just the way your are.

It takes no much time to just look yourself in mirror and whisper, “main apni favourite hoon:)”🙃
