.
The world is celebrating Valentines day. As February starts , Love seems to be all around . During the week long celebrations in the name of hug day , teddy day , rose day …and what not , you can see the shops and streets flooded with roses , teddies ( tiny keyring size to baby size to huge size ) and couples exchanging gifts , sending lots of kisses to each other on whatsapp , posting pics of their special moments on the social media.
All this appears to be meaningless , stupid or dramebaazi when your own mind is disturbed , heart too .
How to celebrate the day when you have had a fight with your Valentine ?
When you have had a squabble at home and the world is getting ready for Valentines day , You start thinking on the terms like “ I would be celebrating Valentine day with myself ” …..”Why does a woman always need a man to celebrate love ?” ……”I love myself more than him , I would pamper myself lots and lots ”
Same is the case with me this time . There are no love celebrations , not even formal wishes , what to say about roses , teddies ,hugs or kisses ? Yup you guessed it right . I had a quarrel with my husband few days back . You see , a heated argument can keep the home silent for days together . Heehee ! New idiom invented .
Thinking of Valentines day and the silence at home , I was thinking about celebrating Valentines day with myself . #MyValentineMyWay My mind was sloping towards Self-Love when I got to read these lines by a famous author on the internet .
Self-Love : Your happiness and self-worth
“Don’t rely on someone else for your happiness and self-worth. Only you can be responsible for that . If you can’t love and respect yourself –no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are –completely ;the good and the bad –and make changes as YOU see fit –not because you think someone else wants you to be different “ –Stacy Charter
Yes , why should I rely on someone else for my happiness ? This was the immediate effect on my mind after reading these lines . My heart did the talking “Yes I love and respect ME and I would love myself even more on this Valentine . I will do what I want . I will pamper myself .” After all it’s all about Self-Love and Self-Love is not at all selfish .
What is Self-love actually ?
Self-love is loving yourself , doing what you want , lettingJust Be yourself , lazy or active , playing or sitting idle, whetheracting sweet or bitter to others . SelfLove can be just resting on your favourite couch for hours and blogging , itcan be sliding in your quilt and watch your favourite show on TV , It can begoing movie or parlour with friend . Self-love can be dreaming high andstriking your travel bucket list one by one .
But Think – Is Self-Love easy ?
Is Self-Love easy or messy , especially for a woman ?
I am a woman and I think Talking of Self-love is just soeasy than a woman actually practicing it completely .
*If a wife doesn’t want to do any house chores today and wants just lazing around , in the evening when husband comes and sees a messy home , with kitchen sink full of utensils , no food cooked , towel here , socks there , clothes not ironed , what do you think what would be his reaction ? Will there be Love in the air ?
*If a working mother gets late from the office and was unable to look after her child on time , she might have to listen to many negative comments from her family , with the adjectives like a careless mother or an extraordinary dreamer mum . Is she wrong if her office is part of her self-love ?
*If a woman wishes for a divorce because of her self-respect being attacked , the society might put many kinds of fears in her mind as if she just can’t survive without a man .
O Woman , Self –Love may not be easy going for you but it is not impossible . Family , Society may pose hurdles but keep yourself ahead of all this bullshit .
Habits for a woman to achieve Self-Love :—
- Stop worrying too much of others opinions . If they have habit of getting upset , Let them be . You keep yourself cool and make it a point to smile .
- Stop seeking permission for little tasks . There is no need to come up to others expectations all the time.
- Stop blaming yourself if you made a mistake or said something hurtful to anybody. Everybody makes mistakes . Everything would be fine again with time .
- Stop looking at yourself all the time in the mirror . You are beautiful from inside. Don’t be a slave of your figure or face highlights .
- Learn to say NO whenever required. You are not here to please everybody . Let others also play their responsibilities .
- Nurture one of your hobbies regardless of how old you are. Your age lies in your mind . The other biological age calculations , let others keep doing .
- Take very very good care of your health . That is the ultra important part of Self-love . Your good health makes you powerful . Know how
