Hello beautiful souls! It’s Wintress Patrice here, your Certified NLP Life Coach. Today, we are going to delve into a topic that is very close to my heart, and it’s about self-love, particularly when you feel unlovable. And yes, there are times when we all feel unlovable. Those are the moments when you need love the most, and that love should ideally come from within you.
No one on the entire planet knows what’s best for you more than you. It is you who understands your dreams, your fears, your strengths, and your weaknesses. It is you who has been there for yourself, standing through every high and weathering every low. Yet, there are moments, times when we feel unlovable, when we let ourselves down. In these vulnerable periods, it’s essential to embrace self-love as a guiding light.
What Does Self-Love Look Like?
Self-love isn’t about being selfish or narcissistic; it’s about knowing your worth and taking care of your needs. It’s about setting boundaries and taking time to replenish and nurture yourself. Self-love is celebrating your accomplishments and acknowledging your failures with understanding and kindness. It’s about accepting your imperfections while also working towards being the best version of yourself.
Feeling Unlovable
There will be moments in life when you feel unlovable. It’s almost an inevitable part of the human experience. These feelings may stem from a myriad of sources: failed relationships, disappointments at work, feeling overlooked, or personal mistakes. In these moments, it may seem like the world is a harsh, unfeeling place, and we are our own worst critics. However, it’s precisely in these periods of self-doubt and pain that self-love becomes the most crucial.
Self-love in Practice
When you feel unlovable, begin by acknowledging your feelings without judgment. Understanding that it’s okay to feel this way is the first step towards healing. Next, try to identify the root cause of these feelings. This isn’t to justify or criticize, but merely to understand better.
Then, take a step back and treat yourself with the same kindness, understanding, and patience you would show to a beloved friend. Self-compassion is a fundamental component of self-love. Engage in activities that nourish your body, mind, and soul. It could be a hot bath, reading a book, a long walk in nature, meditation, or anything that brings you peace and joy.
The Power of Affirmations
As a certified NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) Life Coach, I cannot stress enough the transformative power of affirmations. During times when you feel unlovable, affirmations can help reprogram your subconscious mind, allowing you to change negative self-perceptions into positive ones. Phrases like “I am enough,” “I am lovable,” “I am deserving of love and happiness,” can have a profound impact. Repeat these affirmations to yourself every day, and watch the transformation unfold.
You Are Lovable, You Are Enough
Remember, feeling unlovable doesn’t make it a reality. Feelings are transient, and they do not define you. Even at your lowest, remember that you are deserving of love, especially from yourself.
And when you love yourself, you create a ripple effect. Self-love gives you the courage and confidence to face life’s challenges head-on. It allows you to show up authentically in the world. As you love yourself, you encourage others to do the same, and that’s when we can create a world filled with love and understanding.
As always, remember that it’s okay to seek help. As your Life Coach, I am here to guide you through your journey towards self-love and help you navigate any obstacles you may encounter.
Self-love is a journey, not a destination. It takes time, patience, and practice. But you are worth every moment spent on this journey.
You deserve to love yourself, especially when you feel unlovable. That is when you need it the most.
In closing, I send you all my love and light. Remember, you are enough, you are lovable, and you are deserving of all the beautiful things life has to offer.
With Love & Light,
Wintress Patrice,
