What to Do When You Don't Feel Lovable

So let's say that you're a mother who's realized that you need to take care of yourself in order to properly care for others, and that huge part of of self-care is self-love. So you've started paying attention to how to talk to yourself and to the subconscious beliefs that feed your self-talk. And despite the fact that you've used the word SELF five times in two sentences, you're not going to call yourself SELFISH because after all this is all about trying to be a better person for the benefit of the little people whose lives and futures are in your hands.

So you're speaking to yourself more kindly and WOW, it’s going great! You feel amazing and you see tangible improvements in how you relate to your kids. But life happens. Triggers happen. And suddenly you’re not feeling so lovable anymore.

Now what?

Remember- every outward rejection is an opportunity to strengthen your self-love. If your self worth is dependent on other people’s opinions of you, that’s not loving yourself. You could have everyone on the world telling you that you're amazing and perfect… but if you don’t love yourself, you won’t believe them.

Life isn't about being perfect. The best we can strive for is growth. If your goal is to grow, then every challenging situation can be met with enthusiasm-- Yay! A chance for more growth! You may never be perfect, but life can be an amazing journey when looked at this way.
