The Importance of Practicing Self-Compassion

Give Yourself the Love and Compassion That Your Heart Deserves

Do you practice self-compassion? Have you taken time to care deeply love and care yourself at least once a week?

If you don’t right now would be a great time to carve out a path to show yourself the love that you richly deserve.

In what seems like forever, I have always been a caregiver. While enjoying this role throughout a lot of my adulthood, I recently had an eye opening and mind changing event. I call it an event because it has been a powerful shift for me and my life. This shift immediately opened my eyes to realize the importance of caring for myself more.

Let me share a brief story with you about my home life.

You see my husband is a repair man. He’s been working on homes for the past 4 months which means I am often home alone. Even though I absolutely love my alone time, I wasn’t focusing on how to make myself happy. My thoughts have mostly been on my husband and children while completely excluding myself from the picture.

Well, this past Monday my husband went to visit his cousin. I didn’t want to go because I had articles to write, plans to make for my birthday and shop for the holidays.

Treat Yourself To All of The Abundant Things That Your Heart Desires and Do It For Yourself

I politely asked my husband how long he planned on visiting J’s house and he said two hours. He left at 1 and arrived back home at 7:45 that evening. All that evening I thought about me, myself and I. At that very moment I told myself, It’s time for you to put yourself before any man from this moment on. I made a covenant with myself to take better care of myself in all areas of my life and to treat myself to all the things that I’ve been giving to others.

Let me tell you that this shift has brought me things I never could have imagined and it just feels good thinking and dreaming about what makes me happy.

If you are in the same kind of situation that has caused you to feel like you are not worthy because you did it to yourself, why not shift your mind and do the things that make you happy.

It’s time for you to use the awesome power of feeling like a queen who deserves a royal crown and everything that comes from being a queen.

Everyday treat yourself to a positive thought and visualize whatever you want. Guess what, what you see in your mind’s eye is going to manifest like lightning.

Practice Self-Compassion A Little Every Day and Always Love Yourself

See yourself in a beauty salon treating yourself to an all natural facial or if perhaps you prefer getting your hair shampooed and deeply conditioned do it. See yourself sitting in that salon chair even if you don’t have the money to pay for your new hairstyle. I guarantee the money will show up.

Self compassion should be a part of your daily, weekly and monthly routine without any hesitation.

It’s time to start encouraging yourself and loving yourself a whole lot more. It’s the only way to live. I don’t think anything else really matters. Don’t overthink it, just do it.

You are special.
