Why saying positive affirmations in the mirror won’t cut it and how to truly love yourself

Most of us are highly aware of the fact that we need to love ourselves and top up our cup first, before we can help others.

But loving yourself is easier said than done.

Positive affirmations can be super powerful, but if every ounce of your being screams “what a load of nonsense!!” within, you won’t be able to feel it and you will simply be wasting your time.

This is called cognitive dissonance and is a result of a conflict between your conscious mind (telling you you “should” love yourself) and your subconscious mind.

The good news is you can free yourself of the internal conflict and stop holding yourself back from true self-love…

This is why I had to start listening to my Body

When I was 16 I got very sick, couldn't go to school for many weeks and nothing that the medical system did for me seemed to help. On the contrary, the more I listened to their advice and ignored my inner feeling going "no way, don't do that", the worse I got.

I was quite stressed out and overwhelmed at the time with one of my close friends wanting to commit suicide, me coaching her and my boyfriend and her not getting along. There was a lot of other stuff going on, but this situation just tipped it over.

Read on, if you'd like to hear what happened next and how my body taught me that I had to listen to it.
