We all breathe right?
How often do we recognize & feel the rhythm of your breath and just
smile?
In this lock-down period, we are either working from home, attending
online classes, completing assignments. Did we ever think of doing it before
this pandemic struck us?
Also, we are getting back to our hobbies or developing one, cooking and
baking for ourselves and our family, connecting with old friends over the phone
calls and messages, revisiting that bookshelf which we haven’t touched in a
while doing exercises, meditation etc. and the list goes on as we are trying
to find our own ways to get our work done and engage ourselves.
But stop where you are and Breathe…Yes, you read it
right.
In this century we all are striving to reach a goal, achieve and
conquer, but what we often forget is our own ‘self’. What is this ‘self’? To
put it in simple words, it is who we are, what stories we carry, our inner
character and consciousness of our presence.
We often feel hesitant to put ourselves before everything else.
How can I think about myself first, isn’t it selfish? Isn’t it too much?
It is difficult for us to look inward.
To see ourselves taking a little bit of extra nap time, to acknowledge
that we need a break, to recognize those random emotions or feelings that might
leave us in tears.
To not have an answer for all our questions and to choose ourselves as
the first priority.
Take one step at a time, stop everything, close your eyes and breathe.
Accept that we deserve self-love.
We deserve to enjoy the ‘me’ time of the day, we deserve to be guilt
free as we sit by ourselves just to listen to some good music, without the baggage
and treat ourselves with our favourite food.
Amidst everything, we need constant reminders to check on ourselves both
mentally and physically.
Few thoughts to run through while you sit and read this piece of
writing…
Recognize yourself,
Acknowledge your
inner thoughts, feelings and emotions,
Accept that it is okay to be ‘not okay’, it is okay to be ‘guilt-free’,
it is okay to ‘love yourself’,
Validate your feelings and needs while you are aware of your own
presence,
Boundaries are good and should be honoured,
Take a step closer to yourself, explore the unexplored in you and listen
to your body.
Worried? That you might be lacking self-love.

Let us take the tiny steps towards self-love and remind us that…
“ 1. We deserve to be our first love.
2. Sit with our feelings when in need.
3. Hug ourselves when we need one.”
Lastly, did you breathe consciously while reading
this?
If yes, then smile :)
