Lessons I’ve Learned On My Self-Love Journey
Over the last year or so, I’ve been on a journey of self-love and self-improvement.
I’ve been through a lot in my life (victimisation, re-victimisation and constant mistreatment) and these events have left me feeling traumatised and with a lot of issues such as:
Low self-esteem
Low self-worth
Depression
Anxiety
Problems with interpersonal relationships
Overwhelming sense of sadness and loneliness.
Towards the end of last year I reached the end of my tether. I’d had enough. I was fed up of giving my all to others to the detriment of my own humanity, and I didn’t want to keep living my life hating myself and being treated like a figure of loathing.
The most important relationship I’ll ever have is with myself, so I decided that it was time to focus on the one person who needs to know she matters and deserves love, care and compassion: me.
My self-love journey is an ongoing, life-long process, but I’m very pleased with my progress so far. It is unique to me, but I thought it would be important to share the lessons I’ve learned because I know that the information would be useful to many people who’ve been in my position.
