Have you ever questioned whether you can truly embrace who you are, despite the challenges?
The Pathway to Unconditional Self-Love
In the past, glancing at my reflection filled me with trepidation; I feared I might see something sinister within myself. Today, however, when I look in the mirror, I can't help but grin because I see my own delightful essence.
What catalyzed this transformation?
It all boiled down to one vital change: my capacity to love myself just as I am in this very moment. One day, while at the gym, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I noticed the wildness of my hair, the worn-out yoga pants, and the discomfort of bloating. Most strikingly, I noticed the persistent cystic acne on my face.
In the past, the voices of my ex-partners, my father, the mean girls from school, the prevailing societal norms, and even capitalism would have all offered harsh critiques about my looks.
Yet, standing there, staring at my reflection, I realized I had a pivotal choice to make. I could either mirror the judgments I had faced throughout my life, or I could extend kindness and compassion to that person looking back at me.
I opted for the latter. With a gentle gaze, I looked deeper than the surface. Beneath the frizzy hair and blemishes, I discovered something extraordinary. I saw...
Myself.
I recognized my inherent value, my unique traits, and my tender spirit. In that moment, I felt compelled to blow a kiss to my reflection.
"You are absolutely adorable!" I declared to myself.
"I choose you, Jordin! I embrace your frizzy hair, your acne, and your old yoga pants. I choose to be you. I want to be you. You belong to me — you are deserving of my love, and I want to shower you with it!"
This experience was transformative, as I became both the giver and receiver of that love. Embracing your current self involves treating yourself with greater kindness than you have ever received.
It’s about recognizing that your existence alone is worthy of love. Sometimes, it's about offering yourself love even when you feel undeserving of it.
It's also about the conscious choice to accept yourself because you are inherently worthy of love. The aspects of yourself that feel least deserving often long for love the most.
Choose those parts.
Choose to embrace them.
Choose to love them.
Simply because they are a part of you.
And observe the changes that follow.
