Self Love. Self Care. Inspiration: May 2022

Hello,
I am energy. I am infinity. But I am also a poet, author, artist. wife, mother, sleep doctor, and attachment and complex childhood trauma survivor. I healed only when I understood I was broken, not a victim. I learnt that everything I needed was within me. And that my inner life was the essence and driving force of my existence.

Where did Self Love Self Care First® come from?

I needed to find meaning in my suffering so I kept thinking, “What truth did I come out of this journey with? How can I share what I know in forms other than what I receive through my poetry? What is the most foundational and fundamental truth about human existence that I discovered to be true in my suffering? That is where SLSCF® comes from.

I discovered that if we do not know our truth, we cannot love ourselves. The pain and suffering of our lives, the false external messages about life, success and achievement that we receive, and the projections and imposed expectations of others we are subjected to, mangle our truth, distract us from our destined path, and cut deep into our body, mind, and soul. They cause us to not pay attention to ourselves, and to how we live our lives. These feelings and beliefs descend into our unconscious and become habitual patterns that hijack our lives.

SelfLoveSelfCareFirst® is the journey of truthful self-examination and acceptance of our truth. Only when we are ready to find value, love, and compassion for our true selves do we begin to live free.

This blog is a celebration of love, stillness, growth, joy, discovery, and the truth. The conversation is honest, the topics are varied, the perspectives are from many angles, but the common thread weaving the discussions together is Self Love Self Care First®.

You are not moving towards any light. There is no light out there. It is inside you. You must move inwards- not outwards to look for it. No one can guide you there. Only you can give yourself the permission to embark on this journey. Only you can reclaim yourself.

Your freedom is in your hands.

Courage and What it Has to Do With Moving Forward

Hello,

It's Sunita here.

Moving Forwards.
Looking Ahead.

To look ahead with clarity and hope,
We must have already looked back,
With honesty and courage.

Many a times, this honesty is hard to muster.
That's why courage comes in handy.

But I found that courage did not grow on trees.
Nor could I purchase it from anywhere.

I also discovered that courage is not transferrable.

I had to find it within me.

But here’s the good news!

Every time I did something that took a teeny bit of courage, I grew stronger.

And eventually, after taking many, many, many such steps, I was able to become more honest with myself, and others.

So, I kept on taking little steps of courage till I became courageous.

And I then became friends with my reality.

(Plus I had professional help. I could not have done it alone, or by myself)

I hope you do.

Because you are worth it!

Until next time,

Moving forwards,

Sunita
