Quarantine Break Series: Self Love (1)

I hope this series triggers the love and inspiration deep down inside of you; And if you already have that, I hope it's doubled. This is a series of 5 turning points that will get you through to the bright side.

What do you do when the world stops- when a pandemic strikes, you get laid off, you are forcefully isolated, etc.? Instinctively, you freak out. You cry. You welcome depression. Well, that creates a downward spiral headed straight for self-burial of sorrow. Sure, go through it if you must, but come out of it. Think of everything positive and surround yourself with that.

The first thing that helped me was SELF-LOVE. The world stopping was the ultimate test of the existence of my self-love. I had to strengthen it and become my biggest fan. You have to give zero care of anyone else's opinion and just love and be you FOR ONCE! I thank GaryVee for that tip. You cannot let social gatherings, opinions, people, money and fame be the makeup and foundation of you. If so, you have completely eliminated your self-love. Get back to the basics. Remember that before anyone else, it was YOU.

Secondly, I actually had to BELIEVE IN MYSELF. I began to think of how I climbed out of every bad situation i've been in. This instantly assured me that times like this aren't indefinite. If you think about it, life wouldn't make sense if things were gravy 24/7 anyway. Take advantage of these times and build your strength. You are holding a lot of weight, but you will surprise yourself when you come out rock solid.

Now, obviously you have to choose if you are willing to accept the fight and conquer, or lay down and be stepped on. If you can think back and look at your glory stories then please look at this quarantine the same way. As stated, if you have self-love and belief, you will make it out a diamond from all that pressure. It's not cliche either it's the truth. You will no longer see this quarantine as loneliness and sorrow. Rather it will be transformed into a renewed independence.

Starting today, find your self-love. Embrace it. Next week we’ll reach another level TOGETHER!

LOVE,

LACIE

Please stay tuned for the next 4 Thursdays for the remainder of the series.
