I Love Me - Do You Love Yourself?

from HelloGiggles.com

This week I turned 31. I promised myself that this would be an amazing year and I am holding myself to that EVERY DAY! I've been keeping myself busy - helping to promote ideas and people that fall in line with my vision for the coming year. One of my goals was to love myself more and increase my self esteem and confidence. Since I'm trying to increase the good in me, I'm helping Joanna (the Soulful Coach) with this amazing event called the I ♥ Myself Project. In November, I worked with Joanna on the Gratitude Project and the ripple effect was amazing!

This time, I'm being a bit selfish with this project. I'm eager to learn how to love myself just a little more.

I know, you're thinking 'Hillary - for real? Life coach? Get real!'

I may not believe EVERYTHING these coaches have to offer but the very base of what they believe aligns with my beliefs: in order to be successful - you need to know what you're worth.

Think about it - in love, if you don't love yourself you will likely wind up with someone who doesn't really love you. In business, if you don't know how much your work is worth, you'll be underpaid and over worked. In projects with others, lack of self confidence can lead others to walk all over you because they know they can.

I know what I'm worth and I do love myself but I don't always love what I look like. I don't always love how I feel. I don't always feel worthy.

I won't get all sad on you and I don't want you to think I have low self esteem - I don't. I think VERY highly of myself! Borderline narcissistic even. BUT I'd like you to consider what you'd be capable of if you REALLY loved yourself - truly and unconditionally.

I spent three years of middle school and four years of high school being told I wasn't worthy of anything. Kids are cruel and it took me just about seven years to adjust my thinking YET I can still hear the taunts and they hurt just as much as they did at age 16.

This is why I want the I ♥ Myself Project to be a HUGE success! It's a free class - look into it.
