How To Love Yourself

Loving yourself is vital to achieving the life you want and deserve. Even winning a pageant involves knowing and feeling you are worthy of the crown - and that worthiness is dependent upon the love you have for yourself. Self-love is vital because the amount of, or lack of love impacts every aspect of your life. A person who loves themselves:
  • Knows they are worthy of achieving the dreams and goals that lie within their heart
  • Loves others in the true sense of the word because how we feel about ourselves automatically extends toward others
  • Sets boundaries and doesn’t allow people to mistreat them
  • Knows they are worthy of a loving, healthy, happy romantic relationship
  • Honors their body as a temple through nourishing it with the right foods and exercise
  • Better able to treat people without judgment and with a compassionate heart
  • Creates deep, loving friendships/relationships & is highly encouraging and supportive
And the list goes on…
Every single one of us deserves to live a life experiencing the above. The first hurdle to get over is believing you can love yourself.
You must believe and have a strong desire for self-love
We cannot possibly give ourselves something we don’t believe is there. So if you don’t love yourself, you don’t believe there is love to give yourself. You don’t believe you are worthy of it. And to make matters worse, you then speak and treat yourself in a non-loving way and allow others to do the same, breaking yourself down even further! When you have enough self-awareness to know the cycle has to end for your own well-being and happiness, hope is within you, but some just feel like it’s too hard and don’t even know where to begin. And if there isn’t a strong enough desire to change, you won’t even try, give up and keep continuing to live in your brokenness.
Self-Love is not a one-person job
Others have a strong desire to love themselves, but think  they can bring out this love themselves, on their own, and they can’t – not in any true, lasting sense at least. You must open up for help outside yourself. You must go to the source of Love. I know in my heart that the journey of true self-love is a Spiritual one, first and foremost. You must ask your Divine Creator to help you see and feel the immense worth and value that He knows you possess. He knows this because He created you. If God is Love and He created us as part of Him, then that makes us Love as well. We must accept this belief ourselves!
Open yourself up to believing you will love yourself. Amazing things will happen once you accept the Love in your life that you deserve. Loving yourself isn’t just some touchy-feely self-improvement concept to increase confidence. It’s so much more. It’s life-transforming. It brings about miracles and blessings unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.
And when you open your heart toward the journey of loving yourself, you start to tap into your true Self, your Spirit, and start to realize the power and potential that lies within you because you are a child of God. His power is unlimited and He badly wants you to see yourself through His eyes. Once you allow yourself to grow and walk into the person you were created to be, you will be forever changed.
It’s a process, though. And there are great days and not-so-great days. That’s why it’s a journey. That’s why it takes commitment. If it wasn’t, you could turn a switch and magically love yourself every day, without question. There are obstacles to face, to persevere through and in-turn, our strength builds and our belief builds.

Want To Win The Pageant? BE the Titleholder!

I just wrote a blog post about this over at TrueBeautyProgram.com and wanted to tailor this important information on how it can be applicable to winning a pageant. Once you believe in yourself enough to know you have every ability to win a pageant, you need to get yourself into the mindset of not only believing you can win, but to start acting as though you already are the titleholder! What, if anything, would you be doing differently? Would you carry yourself in a different way? Would you walk into a room a different way? You know that scene in Miss Congeniality when Victor, the pageant coach says "Yes, yes, yes. You wear the crown, be the crown, you are the crown!"  It’s funny, but it’s true! You attract what you ARE, not what you want, so from this day forth, do, say, think as you would if you already have the title!

Your Title is Not Your Identity

All of us know that when preparing for a pageant, the pageantry world consumes everything we do, think or even say. We watch videos, train, go shopping, train some more, check out the gossip online, watch previous pageants, attend appearances and so much more. And then if you win, it becomes even more a part of your world as you have appearances once or more a week, and are preparing yourself to compete for the national or International title on top of that. What happens after the pageant or after you pass on your title? Some women run into trouble after all the excitement of the pageant because they have started to attach and identify themselves with the pageant and/or title. You are NOT your title. WHO you are is not Miss Whoever. Life after pageants It is so important that from the start of training and there on, you do not mix your personal identity with your title because something bad will happen once that title is taken away or you're done competing and don’t w
