How much time do we take to heal during the day? Even if it’s for a few moments? For those, who have lives that are in perpetuated cycles of responsibilities and obligations or feel they need to do more to feel more accomplished, have you ever considered reflecting on your behaviours, attitudes, and victories throughout the day? Have you ever considered looking at your accomplishments from a different point of view? What you need is a boost of self-appreciation.
For those who constantly identify themselves with what they do not have and have not achieved, those limiting beliefs, slowly become catalysts for these cycles. We are blinded by others’ advances and their higher status when it comes to things we are good at, but what we don’t do, is align ourselves with the merits that meaningfully transform us into better versions of ourselves. It all comes from reflecting and doing an analysis on how you have changed before you decided to carry on these obligations that had a genuine impact, and who you are now after the journey, omitting any beliefs that you have not advanced because you have not taken grasp of something that someone else has.
The foundation of your journey is the most important element, it is ok to want nicer things, more skills, and it is fine if you want to be better. But without self-love, trust, and appreciation, and your only source of motivation is looking at what others have, there is no room for the weight of meaningful outcomes to create a better you, because when you dream of being someone else you stop valuing yourself. If you find yourself trapped in these cycles, you need to remember what is important, and that the value of your accomplishments is not dependent on the quality or advancements of others. Once we get a better view of how much we have grown, (which is the hardest part) the skills we have inherited from our obligations, and the maturity we have gained, we can come to appreciate ourselves more, solidifying that foundation further.
