Why Is Self-Correction Important to Self-Love?

Learning to love oneself takes self-correction.  Whenever we think of self-love, we think about doing things like,  prioritizing oneself being true to oneself being nice to oneself setting boundaries  forgiving oneself saying "no" taking a nap  taking a walk  breathing deeply sitting in stillness eating nutritiously emotional regulation making a gratitude list connecting with friends communicating honestly with others These acts of self-care are all part of growing ones self-love. Engaging in routine self-care has been clinically proven to assist in reducing depression, anxiety, stress, frustration, and anger while increasing happiness and energy and leading to better relationships. When one is in this state of taking care of ones own needs, one is, for example, more appreciative of life.

Design Your Life
Wake Up to Live with Desiree Leigh


Because many people don't know they are creating their own life out of default, they continue to do it over and over, living a life of dissatisfaction and discontent. They are the ping pong balls hit back and forth from circumstance to circumstance designed by someone else.

Let's not only get educated about who and what we really are, let's start listening to our innate abilities. Our natural instincts are knocking on our intellect asking to be heard.

"The entire world is brimming with aliveness in the orgasmic sense."
-Alfred North Whitehead

I love this quote. We can live a life in an orgasmic sense but we have been so conditioned to think that it is hard, labored and just plain old fate that is creating our circumstances. We then brood over it believing we have no control over what is happening. Wake Up and smell the ammonia! We create our own reality.

Yes, it takes effort, discipline and much control--letting go of negative emotions, training the free flowing negative thoughts to our advantage by slowing them down, biting our tongue more often and sometimes walking away from a situation when needed. It's about dispelling the negative energy by being in the present, here and now! Not identifying ourselves with everything that floats by. Since we are hear, would we rather complain, judge and blame, causing more grief, or just pull up our socks and give it a try! No one is asking for perfection. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Who in your life can you be affecting in a positive way by taking control of your life and doing something about it? Perhaps your children. If you don't have any reason to do it for your self then find a catalyst. What is going to inspire and move you from the inside out to change your life and live with aliveness in the orgasmic sense?
