How to Love YOU From the Inside Out

Throughout my life I have noticed how many times my self esteem is in dire need of revamping and the women I am friends with go through the same thing. It is sad when you see young girls in highschool not realize their beauty and hide behind hair or makeup walking with their heads down. For my own personal growth I researched ways to better love yourself and I would like to share how to tap into the love of yourself from the inside out. We must love ourselves first before we can give love or receive love from others.

Here is one way to practice owning your greatness and loving yourself from the inside out.

Write a letter to you about you.

Think about things that make you unique and glorious. Place the letter in an envelope addressed to yourself and give it to a friend. Don't forget the stamp. Ask them to mail it whenever they want and watch how on the day you most need a boost of happy and a reminder of your greatness, it shows up in your mailbox.

If you are sitting there thinking about what you life about yourself I will share the letter I wrote to myself and maybe that will spark some ideas about you.

Here is what I wrote in my letter to me.

Dear Lee,
Today I went outside and the sun was shining and it reminded me of YOU. When you are around the room lights up and I feel good. I think it is your energy. You are a beautiful woman with a heart that keeps on giving. Your eyes are wide open and exquisite. I love your humour and that smile, so contagious!

You always dress unique and true to yourself never worrying about trends but following your own path. I love the funky jewels you wear and I would describe you as a bit eccentric, electric, passionate, strong in your beliefs and a whole bunch of fun to be around.

I love your energy Lee! YOU are the greatest! Keep shining your bright light out into the world WE NEED YOU!"

One day when I was feeling less than and the vampire in the mirror had a grip on me, I went to the mailbox and there was my letter. It was a few months from the time I wrote it and I had forgotten. When I read the words my eyes filled with happy tears and my heart began to shine.

It is so easy, especially as women; to put ourselves at the bottom of the TO DO list and learning to appreciate and love yourself the way you deserve starts with YOU not someone else. When we can feel good about ourselves tall, short, wide or narrow, the world around us feels good about us too. It is easy to say but as humans we forget or get busy with all the other things on the TO DO list and it is important to remind ourselves each and every day how we came to the earth with a unique purpose and were created perfect in our imperfections.

There is only ONE of you. Celebrate YOU today and every day with simple things like looking in the mirror and giving yourself a wink or smile. Write that letter and give it to a friend. Don't keep it on the table or in your bag. Give it to your friend with the instructions to mail when they feel it is right... and watch the magic happen exactly when you need it the most.
