Daily Affirmations: I deserve love. I deserve respect. I deserve kindness.
They say, "Treat people how you want to be treated." This is true, as far as it goes. But you also need to treat yourself the way you want others to treat you.
In life, your experiences are often a mirror of how you feel about yourself. Our minds look for confirmation of our beliefs more strongly than anything else. This is called confirmation bias.
So, in order to see goodness in the world, we have to see goodness first within ourselves.
To find love, respect and kindness from others, we have to believe we deserve them, and give them to ourselves first.
For many of us, it can be difficult to form a positive self-image because of negative self-talk formed based on how we were treated in the past, especially as young children.
Children are like sponges, and they soak up the messages we give them. They are just learning about the world for the first time, and a lot of that knowledge comes from their parents.
If you didn't have the best relationship with your parents growing up, this can have a lasting impact. The parent-child bond is the template for later relationships.
So, if you struggled in your relationship with your parents, you may need to work on reparenting yourself as an adult. You can do this by working with a therapist, or developing the voice of a loving parent within yourself.
Remember my loves, you are infinitely worthy. You deserve love, respect and kindness always.
Have a bright and blessed day today, my lovelies!
