How to find self-love - Identify Your Belief System
Why does it take us so long to love ourselves? Why are we still fighting societal standards of beauty? Why are we still self-critical? You would think that as we get older, we would figure out how to love ourselves properly. So, what’s standing in our way?
The answer is OURSELVES and our belief systems or narratives that have been stored within us since childhood. The story we have told ourselves prevents us from properly loving ourselves. We all have belief systems that have been hard-wired into our subconscious. They usually sound like: “I am not enough” or “I am a burden” and so forth. It usually becomes a constant, running line that tends to creep up in your negative, self-talk.
So, what if you don’t know your belief system? Or what if you do know and aren’t sure how it’s preventing you from moving forward or completely loving yourself?
I am a firm advocate for journaling. It is a concrete way to face yourself. It forces us to take what lives inside of our subconscious and put it into a visible and tangible format. Once you see it or release it, you can’t turn away from it. It will exist and eventually, maybe not that second, you will be forced to face it.
I have created a series of questions that I have used for myself, even before my education on mental health and coping. My questions are tailored to identify the root belief system and how it manifests in daily life. Our belief systems create patterns. These patterns help us choose our careers, our financial mindsets, our partners, and even how other people treat us. Walking through these questions can help you identify your belief system, patterns, and ways to move forward. In turn, it will set you on your path to self-love. Trust the process. I have used it for every aspect of my life that I felt needed exposure or a critical, analytical approach. It works, but only if you’re willing to face yourself.
