SELF FRIENDLINESS

The e-book call "Self Friendliness" is written by Shwin J Brad & Aesha Shah. Think about my life, what things that I avoid, baulk at? If I accept a limiting belief, then it will become a truth for me. (Louise Hay? A Zumba class? Applying for a promotion? Trying new food? Moving to a new city? Going to university?
Then ask myself why I don't want to do these things? I can't dance? I think I won't get the job? I only like the food I eat? Am I scared? Am I intelligent? Ask myself what evidence do I have to support my ways. Do I lack experience?) Some real reflection is required, is my ways justified and if not, I may have just found a limiting belief. "Removing and challenging some of the expectations you have of yourself is an uplifting task, one that I would encourage everyone to spend some time doing. I found this way to be an effective way to identify what was important to me and focus on those things. Growing up, I've struggled with finding my own two feet on the ground and taking up my rightful place in this world. There was no concept of loving oneself, no concept of self awareness or even the importance of having your own back and treating yourself with compassion and care. Till date, no one teaches us these things in school or anywhere else for that matter, and a lot of us still struggle to have conversations surrounding this with our friends, family and most importantly, our own selves. "As the years have rolled by, I've been served a lot of lessons through my relationships, from my parents to my friends. The pain, the struggles, the beauty, the confusion have all led me to discover one primal truth: I have myself no matter what happens in my life and who remains a part of it. The realization has led me to spend more time learning about myself, my likes and dislikes, my trauma patterns, my mind and body and most importantly- what I want to build in this life. It's been an incredible gift that I've been able to myself and as a result, my outlook on life, my thoughts and behavior patterns, my personality and even my sense of self and connection to the divinity that resides within me, have all seen a monumental shift and it continues to change with each new learning I have about myself." It is inspiring, motivating and uplifting.
