Know Yourself, Love Yourself, Be Yourself

Know Yourself, Love Yourself, Be Yourself
In that order!

Know -To truly be yourself you firstly need to find out who you truly are and accept yourself. Take time to think about what makes up the essence of you. Look at your life and your choices. If you are not sure how much of your life is your choice then do the "belief system exercise" on my Blog first. 

To develop yourself it is important not to fixate on the past. Your past does not define you! Fixating on it prevents self growth. Give yourself the space to grow. Let go of the past and put it where it belongs, in the past.

Love  - Next, stop worrying about how other people view you. In life some people will like you and some wont, this does not mean there is something wrong with you, it is the beauty of difference! How dull if we were all the same. 

Do not compare yourself to others or you will never be happy. Comparison only leads to resentment and when filled with resentment there is no room to focus on being yourself as you are too busy trying to be someone else. Comparison also leads to criticism of others. A life filled of the need to criticize others often stems from low self esteem, so if you suffer from this, take some time to think about how you view yourself and start to admire and look at your positive characteristics to build some self love. 

Be  - Lastly, live it, go and be you, not anyone else just you. Do things that YOU love and that make you feel good. This is part of being yourself. Think about what makes you happy and go do it. 

Once you have found out who you are and accepted every part of your unique beautiful self, go and be the true you!
