Amor propio/ Self Love

in Hive Cuba3 months ago

Hola!!!
Hoy les voy a hablar del amor propio desde mi punto de vista.


El amor propio

El amor propio es un pilar indispensable para nuestra salud mental y emocional. Cuando carecemos de autoestima, nuestras vidas toman un camino hacia el sufrimiento y el estrés. Todo ello debido a que no somos capaces de aceptarnos ni cuidarnos. Buscamos la aceptación y validación en el exterior, lo cual poco a poco nos va alejando de nuestro propósito. No sabemos quiénes somos porque estamos pendientes del juicio ajeno.


Mi camino hacia el amor propio

En la etapa de mi adolescencia y parte de la adultez, he vivido muchos altos y bajos. Todo porque no me valoraba lo suficiente, no ponía límites, hacia cosas que no me gustaban para sentirme aceptada, tenía relaciones tóxicas y me sentía perdida y sin rumbo.
En esos tiempos yo no sabía qué era el amor propio, ni siquiera que este existía. Un día que estaba mal, decidí buscar consejo. Comencé en YouTube. Me apareció el primer video que despertó mi curiosidad y me lancé a investigar. Me encantaba cada cosa que iba descubriendo pero, como todo en exceso es malo, me comencé a sentir abrumada por la cantidad de información. Sin embargo, lo que más me disgustaba era que seguía repitiendo los mismos patrones a pesar de haber estudiado la teoría de lo que debía de hacer. Continuaba en el bucle del cual ansiaba salir. Hasta que, cuando me vi bastante perdida, comencé a hacer pequeñas actividades con las que me siento identificada, cómoda y en paz.
Seguí ejercitándome de la misma manera que antes pero esta vez en lugar de hacerlo desde casa, empecé a ir al gimnasio. La práctica de yoga se volvió parte de mi rutina diaria. Hice un diario. Al principio me costaba escribir en él pero, con el tiempo, me fui sintiendo más cómoda porque me ayudaba a organizar mis ideas y pensar con más claridad. Esas y otras actividades me han ayudado a conocerme más sin dejar de ser yo, sólo una versión más madura.


El camino hacia el amor propio y el autocuidado no es para nada fácil, vas a derramar lágrimas, a reír y enojarte, requiere de mucha paciencia y autoaceptación, pero lo más importante es que a aprenderás a quererte.
No te rindas!!!

Hello!!!
Today I am going to talk to you about self-love from my point of view.


Self-love

Self-love is an indispensable pillar for our mental and emotional health. When we lack self-esteem, our lives take a path towards suffering and stress. All because we are unable to accept and care for ourselves. We look for acceptance and validation on the outside, which gradually takes us away from our purpose. We do not know who we are because we are dependent on the judgment of others.


My path to self-love

During my adolescence and part of my adulthood, I have experienced many ups and downs. All because I didn't value myself enough, I didn't set limits, I did things I didn't like to feel accepted, I had toxic relationships and I felt lost and aimless.

At that time I didn't know what self-esteem was, or that it even existed. One day when I was in a bad way, I decided to seek advice. I started on YouTube. The first video came up that piqued my curiosity and I began to investigate. I loved everything I was discovering but, as everything in excess is bad, I started to feel overwhelmed by the amount of information. However, what I disliked the most was that I kept repeating the same patterns even though I had studied the theory of what to do. I was still in the loop that I longed to get out of. Until, when I found myself quite lost, I began to do small activities with which I feel identified, comfortable and at peace.
I continued to exercise in the same way as before but this time instead of doing it from home, I started going to the gym. Practicing yoga became part of my daily routine. I made a journal. At first I found it hard to write in it but, over time, I became more comfortable because it helped me organize my thoughts and think more clearly. Those and other activities have helped me get to know myself better while still being me, just a more mature version.


The road to self-love and self-care is not easy at all, you will shed tears, laugh and get angry, it requires a lot of patience and self-acceptance, but the most important thing is that you will learn to love yourself.
Don't give up!
