“Get out of your head and get into your heart. Think less, feel more.” ~Osho

Life has a way of guiding you to exactly where you need to be, with whom you need to be with, and hearing what you need to hear. Sometimes you need an extra push and you have to seek growth, seek change, and experience new things that might be outside of your comfort zone. No, but seriously, face your inner demons; own your responsibility, and be accountable to your happiness.

These are a few tips of things I have done that have helped me to really helped me on my journey of focusing on self-esteem and self-acceptance.

1.Be accountable for yourself and your actions.

I was once told that you frustrate yourself living in a false reality. You begin comparing your life to others instead of be grateful for what you currently have. You cant expect to have more if you are not doing more. You’re unable to appreciate things because you are to busy complaining about what you don’t have. Live through yourself and your own existence, and not through expectations either you have set or that have been set for you.

2.Read…. A lot!

 I have been on my journey for quite some time now and I have found that these books have really been such an amazing asset to have in my life;

The 4 agreements by Don Ruiz Miguel , Language of letting go by Melody Beattie, and Dear Woman by Michael Reid are some really inspirational books that I have read and really needed during this journey.

3.Take care of your physical, mental and emotional well-being.

This one is more simple written than applied, but probably one of the most important thing we all NEED to do. Get rid of toxic people, toxic tendencies and get moving!

4.Immerse yourself in hobbies/try new things.

 Find the fun in exercise: going for walks with your girls or with a significant other, zumba, hip hop classes, belly dancing classes, strip/pole dancing classes, yoga, swimming, beach volley ball, are just a few ideas that come to mind of random, yet fun things, I do for exercise. Lets face it, sometimes being in the gym sucks.!! Soooooo take it outside and trick your mind. Break a sweat doing something that makes you happy. It counts!

5.Meet new people just because.

 This one is self explanatory, sooooo yea. Go flirt with randoms, go strike up conversations just because. Go have fun!

6.Be ok with alone time.

Do the things you like by yourself or do something just because it makes you feel good or happy. You don’t always need to be around people. Sometimes being by yourself is the best way to get to know yourself. You don’t need to cater to anyone else’s needs or wants but your own. No compromising.
