Love Yourself Like THIS!

perspective self love Nov 22, 2021

I wish we could all love ourselves, like I love Claudia.

I am all in on Claudia - she’s one of my besties.
She can go through the ups & downs of life, and I’m gonna be there for her like a rock. 

I’ve got her back. 

👍🏼When Claudia is sad and hurting, I listen and support her.
👎🏼I don’t make her wrong for her feelings.

👍🏼When Claudia has a big win or accomplishment- I celebrate and cheer for her!
👎🏼I don’t discount her accomplishments and tell her she just got lucky.

👍🏼When she makes a mistake or does things that embarrass her - I’m there for her and love her no matter what.
👎🏼I don’t turn my back on her and shame her.

If I was introducing someone to Claudia who had never met her before - I’d be all like -

OMG - YOU’RE GONNA LOVE HER. SHE’S AHHHHMAZING! FUNNY! GORGEOUS! INTERESTING!

& the list would go on and on….

& IF THAT PERSON DIDN’T LIKE HER I’D THINK:
🤜🏼They’re cray-cray!
🤜🏼How can they meet Claudia and not love her??
🤜🏼What’s not to love?? They have bad taste in people.
🤜🏼They’re wrong - Claudia is WONDERFUL!
🤜🏼They’re blind!

I WOULD’NT think:
👎🏼She must be wrong/broken/unlovable/not enough/too much if they don’t like her.
👎🏼Her age, size, IQ, coolness, fun, feminine, confidence, bank account, career….is not perfect enough
👎🏼Claudia should stop trying to make friends - she obviously needs to fix all this shit first.
👎🏼I’ll give Claudia a list of ALL THE WAYS she should change so people will like her.

BUT, WE HAVE THE TENDENCY TO DO THIS TO OURSELVES WHEN WE’RE DATING

When someone doesn’t like us, our brain can start going down the “we’re not good enough & should be different” rabbit hole. 🕳🐇.

(I have hippity hopped down that hole many of times!)

We make people’s ability to like and love us about us, when really it’s all about them.

And please note - we are all human and have feelings. And when someone we like doesn’t like us it feels crummy.

If you want help learning not to jump down that rabbit hole of self doubt 🕳🐇 & having your own back instead- let’s chat. I’ll bring the carrots. 🥕🥕
