Dear, your presence fills the air with the scent of happiness and blessing

You are the best in the way you are

Nature gives you something magical in you

Love your existence, cherish your soul, groom your beauty, and groom your scars.

Be YOUR FIRST PRIORITY AND CHERISH YOUR EXISTENCE

Self-love is not just a concept; it’s a crucial aspect of mental health. It’s a journey that everyone deserves to embark on. It’s about treating yourself with all the love, kindness, and compassion and prioritizing your peace. Love is an innate characteristic of humans, but while spending our time here, we often forget that we need to cherish our own selves the most to survive in a delicate and beautiful way. This ‘Tale of Mental Health’ is about learning to love and care for ourselves, and it’s a story we all have the power to write. 

We need to practice C.A.R.E. 

Care, Acceptance, Respect and Embrace

It is all about caring about your perspectives, accepting your flaws and weaknesses, respecting your boundaries, and embracing your wounds and strengths. If we plant a rose flower, it will require a lot of effort for us to bring it into its blooming phase; this whole time, we need to monitor the amount of water we have to give the plant, the amount of sunlight required, and the nutrients or fertilizers we may need for the whole time. Similarly, in our life, we need to set our boundaries for people; we have to decide whom to let in and whom to not; we also have to give ourselves a margin of error; don’t let your shortcomings destroy your peace and don’t let people decide your steps.

For nurturing a positive relationship with oneself and dealing with the weakness in a proud way, here are some ways to have it;

Embrace your flaws

Embracing your flaws is not a sign of weakness; it’s a testament to your courage. The moment you start embracing yourself, you will recognize your worth. Your flaws are a part of you, making you unique and beautiful.

No Comparison

One of the most significant disadvantages of comparing yourself to others is that it constantly brings you miserable feelings and a sense of rejection.

Practice solitude

Practicing solitude unleashes your inner strength and gives you the courage to stand still even if the whole world is against you.

Practice Self Compassion

Understand yourself with all the love, kindness, and understanding, especially during hard times. Acknowledging that no one is perfect and imperfections add essence to your personality would help.

Set your Boundaries

It is essential to create boundaries around you; it’s your life, so you are the one to design boundaries. Learn to say no to the things and people who drain your energy and disrespect your comfort zone. This is not just about protecting you, but also about creating space for self-care and self-love. 

Schedule your Self-Care routine.

Remember, self-care is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. It is one of the healthiest activities you can add daily. Consider incorporating activities like exercise, such as a brisk walk or a yoga session, into your routine. Try a relaxing bath, a skincare routine, or spending time with nature, like hiking or sitting in a park. These activities can help you recharge and reconnect with yourself.

Celebrate your Achievements

Celebrating your achievement means you are finally accepting how worthy you are and how your small achievements contribute a lot to society. It’s a way of showing self-appreciation and acknowledging your growth and progress.

Pay attention to your inner thoughts.

It is essential to monitor your inner thoughts; you must pay close attention to what you think of yourself.

I want to remind you that everyone has a unique attitude and personality. Everyone out there has their own stories and shoes to wear. Let’s learn that life is all about unpredictable moments, and we are the ones who decide how we will spend these moments. Let’s promise ourselves that we will never let anyone else destroy our happiness, let any random being take our light, or make others’ lives uneasy.

Dear Humans, Self-love is not a destination; it’s a journey filled with ups and downs, but that’s okay. As you continue on this path, be patient and compassionate with yourself. Nurture a more profound love and acceptance for who you are, and remember, you are worth it.

LOVE YOURSELF AND EMBRACE YOUR FLAWS
