We're both thick in our self discovery journey right now. We read self help books, listen to podcasts, watch shows on how to better our lives, and even tried to saturate our social media algorithm with positive messages about self love and selfcare.
It’s a lot sometimes.
But as we continue to move through our personal growth we still find ourselves asking: how do I show myself love? It’s a siimple concept, but do I actually do it?
What we have discovered is that a crucial first step to loving our true self is discovering what type of relationship we have with ourselves at this very moment.
Do we encourage ourselves throughout the day or do we break ourselves down?
Do we coach ourselves through hard times or do we berate ourselves with our shortcomings?
Do we feel worthy of other people's time and loving support or do we come up with reasons why others “have to” be around us?
Do we spend time giving ourselves credit for past achievements or do we bypass all we've done to focus on our next accomplishment?
When we reflect back on our personal healing journeys thus far, we can acknowledge the hard things we've accomplished and it allows for a deeper love to grow from within. To look back and to KNOW that we can do hard things develops a deep trust that we are able to move forward with.
Change is incredibly hard at times yet both of us have made incremental changes and now look back in awe at how far we have come.
So as we celebrate love, we're reflecting back on all the challenges we have accomplished, big and small, and encourage you to take a pause to check in and see if you spend enough time celebrating past victories.
Because it's taking the time to acknowledge ourselves that allows us to show ourselves that we are worth it.
And finally, always remember that we are not meant to do this alone. The ming+ming community is here to remind you of your worth, point out victories that you have overlooked, and highlight your potential to continue to do hard things.
Join our community by signing up for our membership program or consider looking into a 1:1 signature ming+ming coaching session and we'll show you how to start falling more in love with yourself.
With love,
Ming-Wai + Ming-Cee
