WISE OLD OWL WISDOM:
He’s curious about the choices you make in life. He wants to know if you align the choices you make on a daily basis with what makes you feel and be happy through life.
Yes? No? Uncertain? He recommends starting by asking yourself the following question and doing your best to answer it wholeheartedly.
→ Knowing how I feel at this moment in my life, what would I like to feel instead?
Aligning the choices you make with what makes you feel and be happy through life is about self-love. This is the first step and foundation stage of practicing self-care. Since self-care is the key to creating the emotional, personal, professional and financial freedom you need to create what makes you feel and be happy through life, here’s a good place to start…
WISDOM TAKEAWAY NOTES FROM A WISE OLD FRIEND:
♥ Define what makes you feel and be happy in life.
♥ Once you’ve done the above, try and distinguish the difference between what you actually value — what brings you joy in life, from beliefs you adopted based on your family, friends, society, or the media’s definition of what happiness is or should be.
Values are truths that are important to you — core principles you live by as they inspire you to reach your goals and realize your dreams in life. They are personal to you… come from your mind – your inner voice, influenced by the passions and purpose within your soul. Choose to expand the thoughts behind your values as they embolden you to be the person you know in your heart and soul to be.
Beliefs are more like feelings of certainty, usually adopted from external factors… family, friends, society, media, etc. Ask yourself if your beliefs limit or empower your growth as a person. If your beliefs empower you, choose to expand these thoughts as they support you in creating the happiness you want in life. If your beliefs limit you, hold you back from realizing the happiness you want, choose to let go of such thoughts as they make you feel powerless… these are thoughts that are fear-based such as self-doubt, insecurities, worry, anxiety, and panic, originating from outlived emotions and experiences.
♥ Since self-love is the key to honouring and fulfilling your heart’s desire for living an authentic and joyful life, it’s about how you see and treat yourself as a person. Start with building the courage needed to develop or enhance the following two self-leadership qualities: your self-esteem and self-respect. These are essential in helping you make choices that align with what makes you feel and be happy through life.
The benefits of practicing self-love are:
Practicing self-love enables you to define and prioritize what is important for you to live a fulfilling and happy life. It is vital in helping you become the person you know in your heart and soul to be.
You learn how to distinguish between your values and beliefs. Values being principles that are important to you — that you choose to live by.
It is essential in building a healthy self-esteem and self-respect… starting with self-compassion. Developing these key self-leadership qualities influence how invested you become in your own happiness.
It is fundamental in establishing healthy, meaningful and rewarding personal and professional relationship through life… starting with the one you have with your own ‘self’.
It plays a pivotal role in creating what you really want in life — fulfilling your heart and soul’s desires to enjoy exciting, fun, meaningful, rewarding and varied experiences throughout your life.
Possible side effects:
I must warn you that there are ‘side effects’ to practicing self-love… but I know that you’re going to love these as they lovingly help you become the person you know in your heart and soul to be… they are:
1.
You learn to welcome change in your mindset — the way you think, behave and act thereby making your well-being — taking care of your ‘self’, your #1 priority.
2.
You get to decide if you want to engage in or disengage from other peoples opinions or belief systems.
