Self Awareness

It begins with acceptance and self-love.

Self acceptance. begins with honesty. Honesty with yourself as well as others is key to freedom, loving yourself. When you accept your past, your present and the possibilities for your future, you slowly start to understand who you are at the core of your being.

This is not an easy task, but one in which you must be consistent and intentional. The most important step is starting. Be genuine and raw with your emotions, focusing first on the things that are great about you. Look at yourself in the mirror to identify the things you love about yourself. Be generous with the compliments, but not in denial. You may need a sounding board or someone you trust to listen to this self-talk.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
