Not knowing where to start this has its pros and cons. But I have faith that in no time it will be flowing.
So, where to start... I guess for me, the biggest issue that I believe is impacting the happiness of humanity is knowing, believing and learning that we are enough. Something so simple, and personally, as a child I knew I was. I came into this world so lovable, I was created by love. Yet along the roads of life, I was bullied, I then bullied and the world became a dark place. Being a teenager was kind of f*#ked for me, I know a lot of others would feel the same.
My parents divorced when I was 11, both remarried by the time I was 14. I decided to go to a high school with only 7 other students from my primary school. I then fell in love at first sight with a boy a few years older. We were banned from seeing each other, so naturally like any teenager, I rebelled. My first love was a secret romance and continued for years to come.
So maybe when it comes to loving myself, I kept that love a secret too? It's common and very possible to create such a lack of confidence in love! We're conditioned from our experiences and our brain is here to protect us! So it makes total sense.
So here I am, 28, and I finally realized through my journey with Havening that my beliefs around relationships and love had been just a puzzled mess of sneaking around and keeping secrets, because love wasn't meant to be talked about, love between two people had to be complicated in order for it to 'work'. Until my own personal Havening session, it seemed so normal to have this belief system about relationships. It was at this point, I realized I was ENOUGH and even more than that, I realized I am More than Enough, and I am worthy of spending my life with another amazing human who also loves themselves. Because as the Divine Marisa Peer and my soul sister and mentor, Karen Hedges constantly remind me - “You cannot love another til you love yourself, and another cannot love you till they love themselves”.
The road hasn't always been easy. I believe the journey of self-discovery and complete self-love is a life long journey, but I do know If my life in this body were to finish tomorrow, that I would be remembered for a woman who celebrated herself! So, absolutely I believe in living a life of loving myself and being the best version I can be!
My goal with this blog will be to have a self-love guide - So stay tuned beautiful. Continue working on yourself, showing up and being you!
