Self-elevation

When you think about yourself, look in the mirror, spend time alone, or just anything to do with you and only you, do you ever feel…

a) Unhappy

b) Unfulfilled

c) Lonely

d) Sad

e) Disheartened

f) Unimpressed

g) All of the above?

Yeah. I think many of us have felt this once or twice, perhaps even all the time. You see, that’s not how it’s meant to be, we aren’t put on this earth to be forever unsatisfied with ourselves. We aren’t here to judge ourselves, to constantly desire change, to hate looking in the mirror or having a picture taken at a certain angle. We are here to live, to experience, to meet people, to create relationships, and the most important relationship is the one with ourselves. Some people will spend their whole lives looking for their soulmate without even realising they have been there the whole time; all you have to do is look in the mirror. You are your life partner. You are and always will be the most constant thing in your life. You need to love, nurture, cherish, praise, adore and thrive in yourself and your own company. Learning self-love and care and being comfortable around you can take time, but we all need to start believing in ourselves and being there for ourselves a little more.

Self-elevation, self-belief. Being empowered by you, loving every part of you. Why put yourself down? We all strive for happiness, love, greatness. So why feed your own body and mind such toxic, negative energy. Stop being upset by what you see in the mirror and start to feel proud. Scars? They aren’t ugly, they show strength, perseverance, history, courage and beauty. Dark circles? They don’t make you any less attractive, they add definition, they provide a feature, individuality, they are you, they are beauty. Stretch marks? They don’t mean you are too large or have lost too much weight, they don’t define you, they are the waves of the sea written on your skin, they are your tiger marks, your power, your strength, they are you. Whatever it is that you pick out and analyse, find a positive, see its beauty because it is you, it is forever a part of you and there is no part of you that isn’t beautiful. Elevate yourself and love yourself. When the world is full of individuals who will put us down, we should be there to pull ourselves up and believe in who we are.

You may think or feel you haven’t made much progress, say you didn’t get that promotion, you didn’t get that car, your still hurt from the past. None of this means you haven’t progressed. Look at all the little things if right now there isn’t any milestones. Look at how you maybe make healthier meals now or just eat more regularly, look at how you make sure you get out and exercise more, look at how you are putting in effort at school or work, look at how you are taking care of yourself, look at how you find joys in new things or turn the negatives to positives. Look at the small things because those small steps make the biggest differences. Have belief in your previous actions and see how they have elevated you into who you are now and continue to believe in what you can do. See your abilities as endless. Stop limiting yourself. Push through that boundary, that wall, that possibility. See your worth. Know that someone’s ill opinion of you isn’t who you are. Recognise what you deserve, higher your expectations, protect your soul, surround yourself with your own love.

I think something we all need to learn is how happiness doesn’t mean a significant other. Happiness can be found in you, each and every day. Learn to be comfortable around yourself and doing things alone. You don’t have to go everywhere with someone, who said you can’t take yourself on a date? No-one. To be content alone, is to be content anywhere in the world. Find peace in the silence, love in the mirror, lust in the world around you, and beauty in your soul. Discover a new passion, a hobby, a skill. Take time to learn things about yourself. Grow to a point where you are excited by the idea to be alone, to have that time and space and a sense of completeness in who you are and what you are doing. Be motivated by your own actions and be excited to get up in the morning. Elevate yourself through multiple means. Elevate yourself when looking in the mirror, when picking up a new hobby, when being alone, when achieving a goal, big or small. Elevate your mind and believe. See who you are today and how that is different to yesterday and how it will be different again tomorrow. Be proud of yourself and feel comfortable in who you are. Learn that to be your own support means to be independent and forever only reliable on that one constant in your life. You. Chose yourself, chose self-care, chose self-love, chose to make yourself happy before others. Live your life not in awe of others and loathing the look in the mirror, but be in awe of you, your personality and your abilities. You are worth more than what anyone could ever put into words so there is no boundary. Exceed expectations, disappoint at times, thrive in the face of negativity, find happiness and be content in you.
