The way of relating to ourselves and the environment is not congenital, we acquire it in the course of life, mainly in childhood and adolescence. Depending on the referents we have, what we learn about affectivity and love will effectively lead us to love and love each other or not. When we feel self-love, it implies that a comfortable and positive internal dialogue has been achieved that achieves personal acceptance, by consenting to ourselves as we are, we love ourselves, we love our body, which is only the framework of something deeper and more important, and this leads to a mood balance
I think that in the first experiences of life, we all find ourselves some other "failure" almost always responding to what "the environment" wants or longs for us. When I looked in the mirror as a teenager, I liked it, but I had the ability to think…and if I didn't have such straight hair…and yes, and yes…With the teacher time from whom you learn so much, I saw myself less” imperfections” since my soul fell in love with the body it inhabited, I began to deeply love my BEING and stopped caring about HAVING (straight hair, wrinkles, blue eyes, indicated weight, etc.). I see the body that hosts my spirit, which needs to be healthy, take care of it... and it's beautiful from the inside out.
I would like to give myself a special intangible gift; more confidence in life, less uncertainty about what will come. That would increase my bravery and courage to face existence, essential elements to do so. Standing in front of the mirror I say to myself:
I love you: with your falls, your stumbles, all the times you got up, the achievements...those marks on your face from laughing or crying...thank you for being a vehicle to love, stay healthy and connected your heart to your brain and forward, the best is always to come.
