15 Beyoncé Quotes That Promote Self-Love and Positive Mental Health
The multi talented 36-year-old has undoubtedly taken the world by storm ever since Destiny’s Child was introduced in 1997. She may be well-known for her kick-ass feminist anthems but Queen Bey is one smart cookie when it comes to true happiness, personal growth and self-love.
Here are some of my favourite Beyoncé quotes that have encouraged me through my own recovery journey :
“Women have to take the time to focus on our mental health - take time for self, for the spiritual, without feeling guilty or selfish.”
“Your self-worth is determined by you. You don’t have to depend on someone telling you who you are.”
“If everything was perfect you would never learn and you would never grow.”
“If there’s one thing I’m willing to bet on, it’s myself.”
“When I’m not feeling my best I ask myself, “What are you gonna do about it?” I use the negativity to fuel the transformation into a better me.”
“It is so liberating to really know what I want, what truly makes me happy, what I will not tolerate. I have learned that it is no one else’s job to take care of me but me.”
“The reality is: sometimes you lose, and you’re never too good to lose. You’re never too big to lose. You’re never too smart to lose. It happens.”
“My biggest thing is to teach not to focus on the aesthetic. It’s really about who you are, and the human being, that makes you beautiful.”
“We need to reshape our own perception of how we view ourselves. We have to step up as women and take the lead.”
“Now that I was famous, I was afraid I’d never find somebody again to love me for me. I was afraid of making new friends. Then one day my mom said, “Why do you think a person wouldn’t love you? Don’t you know how smart and sweet and beautiful you are?” That’s when I decided I only have two choices: I can give up, or I can go on.”
“When you love and accept yourself, when you know who really cares about you, and when you learn from your mistakes, then you stop caring about what people who don’t know you think.”
“We all have our imperfections, but I’m human and you know, it’s important to concentrate on other qualities besides outer beauty.”
“I don’t feel like I have to please anyone. I feel free. I feel like I’m an adult. I’m grown. I can do what I want. I can say what I want. I can retire if I want. That’s why I’ve worked hard.”
“Over time, I have learned to focus on the things I want to focus on in the time frame that I set. I no longer have to work based on someone else’s expectations or pressure.”
“I don’t have to prove anything to anyone. I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world. I run my world.”
So next time you’re feeling like …
… just remember that Beyoncé was not built in a day, and you are the Beyoncé of your own life.
Take care and stay strong,
