Buy now: When that first emotional spike occurs, use the knowledge that this emotion is a reaction based on past experiences to pause, take a breath, and give yourself the space to ride the wave of the emotion. Once the initial feeling dies down, use that space to think more objectively about what’s happening. You may or may not have had a traumatic past. Whether your upbringing was peaceful or turbulent, it still affected you. The fact is, it’s during your youth – though you weren’t conscious enough to realize it – that your surroundings taught your brain how to react. Two: You’re looking at others through a lens of compassion. As you offer yourself love and forgiveness, you recognize the work that others are doing and can give them the same love.

Either way, it’s important to understand what self-love is not. It’s not materialistic. It’s not about giving yourself a spa day or treating yourself to ice cream because you deserve it. There’s nothing wrong with either of those things, and they can be acts of self-care, but that’s not the self-love we’re talking about. However, this is not a bunch of separate sayings, but still beautiful in its own regard as he gets to expand on the short little message I see online. Yung pueblo speaks about his own life experiences while writing about the process of healing and how to accomplish that.He also places particular emphasis on the importance of renouncing the submissive belief that we do not have power over our mental situation, when in fact we all have the potential for peace of mind through intentional action. Through our 'attachments', we jeopardise that potential because we attempt to control reality, meaning we never live in the present by constantly imagining what is missing or how we wish things to be. This is dangerous as it is a rejection of how things really are. The most important thing for you to agree on is the difference between attachment and connection. Attachment is selfish. It’s about wanting your partner to do or be what you want for your own comfort. Connection is about working together in love and support.

Being honest with yourself isn’t always easy. It means being able to face those moments that you’re embarrassed about or ashamed of and take responsibility for them. It means being able to admit when you’re wrong. Your father didn’t treat you with love when you cried. Wouldn’t it be nice to have had a hug instead of a rebuke? Sometimes what we want is what was lost in childhood. Sometimes we want love from another. Sometimes we want an apology. A new life. A new past. A new parent or spouse or body or home.

I’ve been following yung pueblo on social media for a little while now, and I love his little sayings. When I saw this book had come out, I was excited to read it as I thought I’d get more of that. The most important thing you can do is allow yourself to feel an emotion without being controlled by it. All of this takes time. Building healthy habits is a long game, but you have to make a start. You can begin by being intentional with every action you take and choosing to do what’s best for you and your goals instead of just what feels good. The more you do this, the more self-love will become a habit. And you aren’t the only person making these improvements. Self-healing is being sought on a worldwide scale. As we each strive to grow into better versions of ourselves, we’re elevating humanity and paving the way for a better future.

As you grow, you may find yourself letting go of old ideas or goals. You may even shed old identities. These are simply side effects of clarifying who you really are through the process of freeing yourself from the past and moving intentionally through the present. Strive for progress. Four: you’re able to make choices that benefit your long-term goals rather than acting on what feels good in the moment.

The author, Yung Pueblo, discovered his path to healing after reaching the edge of death due to drug addiction and a life of pleasure-seeking. In his work, he talks about the healing journey and the power of actively working on your own growth so you can enjoy success and deeper relationships every day of your life. In this Blink, we’ll share some of his stories and advice.You don’t have to live in sadness, anger, frustration, emptiness, or despair. But to free yourself from these things, you have to do the hard work of letting go. Your first impulse or emotion doesn’t define who you are. It’s a part of you, but it isn’t the whole you. Accepting yourself means looking at those truths you’ve discovered through honesty and saying, “I’m human. I did something I’m ashamed of. And I am still worthy of love.” Of course, you still take responsibility for anything you’ve done, but you don’t wallow in self-blame. You can’t have a do-over for a bad decision you made. You can’t have a father who didn’t walk out on you. You can’t have the marriage you wanted that ended up failing. You can’t have . . . well, you can fill in the blank here. Self-love means having compassion for yourself and treating yourself with curiosity. It’s about seeking to understand yourself on a deeper level. It requires being brazenly honest with yourself at all times, building healthy habits, and accepting yourself unconditionally.
