Claim Your Emotional Freedom!
Are you lovesick? Feel like an emotional hostage? Wish you could just free yourself emotionally from others and from all your own baggage?
I used to pine for love from others to feel valuable and worthy. After a really, really sick relationship, I realized he wasn’t the problem, it was ME.
I went through a (painful) process of reconnecting with myself, reclaiming my ability to love myself.
And in the process the craving for outside love and validation was removed.
You can get there, too!
If you’re obsessed with love from others, whether the relationships are romantic, friend, or family, you have disconnected from your basic internal knowledge and love for yourself.
But you can reconnect!
The solution is self-love. Not in a selfish way, but in a factual, realistic way. Taking a good hard look at your strengths and weaknesses, and really accepting them fully.
From there, keep working on improving the strengths and addressing the weaknesses. When anything happens that you’d normally beat yourself up for, try kindness and compassion instead.
You don’t need to focus on getting love from others to fill the hole inside. Release that obsession! I can assure you that even if that elusive person who is withholding the love you want actually turned around and loved you, that hole inside would still be there. No amount of external validation will fill it.
The better bet is to cultivate the knowledge of your own worth and a belief in yourself as worthy of love. Yes, it’s a big job, but you can tackle it step by step, bit by bit, little by little.
Start with this simple question: what small action can you take toward loving yourself today? Answer without reference to ANYONE else. Can you take a walk and clear your head? Eat a good meal? Read a book? Relax on the beach? Do something that your soul craves, and do it for you, no one else. Take one small step toward emotional freedom.
