Self love means accepting who I am

Self-love means accepting who I am.

Beneath my exterior is a soul that deserves to be honored. It forms the essence of my being and is meant to be treated with respect. Self-love means accepting who I am on the inside. The perspective of the outside world is irrelevant.

Becoming worthy of love starts with having a character of integrity. I ensure that each of my interactions with others is handled openly and honestly. I am trustworthy and proud to be a person who speaks from the heart.

My honesty inspires others to put their trust in me. Knowing that I am a safe place for others gives me a good feeling about myself.

I also approach others with kindness, regardless of the relationship we share. Leading with kindness makes room for peaceful resolution and effective collaboration. I promote positivity.

Although I have flaws, my positive traits far exceed anything that I sometimes feel insecure about. I celebrate my strengths and embrace my imperfections. There is so much about me that is lovable.

Today, I am exactly the person who I am supposed to be, and I love every ounce of my being. There is power in truly accepting myself just the way I am. With confidence, I go through each day conquering big challenges and feeling proud of my victories.

Nature sustains me

Nature sustains me.

In a time when technology runs the world, I appreciate opportunities to step away from it. Immersing in natural environments keeps me conscious and self-aware.

I connect to my true self when I retreat to nature. Spending time in the beauty of unspoiled environments is renewing. It gives me a chance to recall where I am from and appreciate my humble beginnings.

When I go to the beach, I unplug from technology. I lay on the sand, close my eyes, and listen to the sounds around me. Connecting in this way is therapeutic.

Being able to listen to the waves crash and the birds chirp reminds me that I share the world with other beings. Being present in those moments encourages me to maintain environmental consciousness.

I do my part by cleaning up rubbish and debris that people leave in our natural spaces. It is the least that I am able to do to protect the Earth.

As I hike through the mountains, I am careful to avoid stomping on plants. Their contribution to the continuance of life is acknowledged. I avoid taking for granted that there are millions of plants around me. Each one serves a unique purpose in the world.

Today, my time with nature is a blessing because it keeps me conscious. I recognize the value of other lifeforms on this planet. My duty is to sustain them for generations to come. I am happy to be an environmental advocate.
