As women we are coming more to understand and appreciate just how beautiful we really are and that this beauty shines brightly from the inside out. All we need do is allow ourselves to be open and live what feels natural to us in our everyday lives; claiming and confirming our self-worth.
We can nurture our bodies and ourselves by honouring what feels right and accept the way our bodies physically feel and look; we weren’t made to be perfect after all!
But why do we still find ourselves looking to others to acknowledge us or confirm our own beauty and self-worth before we accept ourselves in full?
Whether in a relationship with a partner, parent or friend or through a glance with a stranger on the street, if we are not accepting all of who we truly are the next progression of events is to notice the way they are towards us. Have they complimented us, did they smile, or how did they look us up and down? The interaction becomes about our external appearance, our look, our clothes and our image, but…
The external doesn’t make us who we truly are – Is someone else really in charge of our own self-worth?
Without the simple tools of self-respect and self-honouring, I have found myself to be in partnerships and friendships where I have been looking for the other person to respect and honour me; to treat me with love and true care in a way I know I undoubtedly deserve. But each time I have had to ask myself – Am I actually treating myself with this level of love and respect first?
What I have come to realise is that if I am not accepting of the beautiful woman I am and honouring of myself in full, I am already accepting less and by virtue of this I have found myself to be settling for less than love in my relationships with others. I have also found that I am then not able to be truly loving and honouring of the other person, who equally deserves that love.
Living Self-worth – in Every Way
As we develop our relationship and connection with ourselves, not only are we bringing more consistent and more loving choices to our day, we are deepening our relationships and the quality that we live with all others.
So really, what’s not to accept? When we allow ourselves to be, women are naturally lovely; we have a beauty and sexiness that is felt far more deeply than our physical appearance, and a joy in our eyes that shines brightly when we feel connected and accepting of who we are.
Self-worth is about honouring who we truly are as women and living with this quality in every moment. This is truly sexy.
Self worth: Living the beauty and the preciousness that feels natural and sharing this with others, making every choice about simply honouring ourselves as the beautiful and divine women we are.
