Self-Loving Approach to Achieving Goals

Which one feels better to read or say?


A few years ago when I was really struggling with my depression, body image, and relationship with myself I came up with this mental exercise for myself


Anytime I had a loathing thought, I replaced it with one of love


I would literally stop what I was doing and reframe my thought pattern


Sometimes this SUCKED and felt like a waste of time or energy and honestly it sometimes just felt good to feel so sad/down


Doing it took a lot of commitment and effort at first. But now, it really is automatic for me!


You can train your mind to work FOR you rather than against you


Most people have their thoughts dictating their day, that’s not really your fault, but now that you’re aware you have the power to actively change it, you’d be at fault not to put some effort into it


If you’re tired of feeling TERRIBLE about yourself.


Whether that’s looking in the mirror, eating, going about your life goals; start changing your thought patterns


Patterns are repetitive sooo might as well create consistently positive patterns to run our life


One of the best things we can do is become so self-aware that replacing loathing thoughts with loving ones becomes automatic


It always feels better to be in a state of self love. This is where even more positive things grow from


Often times we don’t progress in our life because we are filling our mind with hate instead of encouragement


Long-lasting motivation can’t be bred from hatred


That’s why intrinsic motivation will always outlast extrinsic motivation
 

Self-love says “this is for me” self-loathe says “this is because I don’t like me”


Start paying attention to the way these two contrasting energies feel in your life


The more aware you become the stronger your ability will be to recognize it and shift to the loving energy


Not sure exactly how to get from one to the other once your thoughts are shifted?
