Hey you heard it right - just what I started my
heading with. Loving thyself is the most
beautiful thing that we can give to ourselves.
In the past, loving oneself was considered to be selfish, but with a lot
of new thinking coming up, we now are able to comprehend and understand the
basics that only if we love ourselves, we will also be able to love others
around us who truly deserve our love.
We have grown up watching films of Karan Johar with
his interesting one liners stating “ It is all about loving your family”, but
hey come on, I have not even loved
myself completely. No offence to Karan
here, Karan I really really love you and your movies that show a riot of
romance and emotions, just what everyone loves to see.
We get so much engrossed in taking care of whether
others around us are happy. Mothers are
worried and are keen on loving their kids, husband. If you are a daughter, then
you have to love your parents and siblings. If you are a daughter in law then
it is your in laws, husband and of course your kids. We knowingly or unknowingly tend to forget
about us and our little heart that beats day in and day out and what it expects
from us. It is that little love that the heart is asking for. You need not expect it from the outside, you
can love yourself by just tapping it just the way Aamir Khan wonderfully says
it and taps on his heart saying “All is Well”.
Yes truly ALL IS WELL.!!!
I have experienced this when my daughter was a
kid. The moment she accidentally fell
down, all her eyes would be set on me and she would look at my
expressions. If I gave her the feeling
that she was hurt, there would a burst of tears enough to flood the Tansa
lake. But I realized that when I was
calm and just told her “Darling, you are perfect and alright “. She was fine
and went about doing her antics.
The heart within is child like and loves to be
pampered and fondled. We need to love
ourselves for it. Teenagers nowadays
love the tattoos on their skin and I love tattoos too as long as they don’t
pain. Coming back, let’s do ourselves a
favour, oops sorry, let us love ourselves and get our brains and minds
permanently tattooed by loving ourselves.
I should make a special mention here about an
incident that happened and I would not like to reveal the name just for
anonymity sake. One of my friends in
train always complained about the way she looked, the way she had gained weight
and there was only negativity emitting from her. I started to avoid her because I was getting
engulfed in that negativity and felt suffocated. However, my conscience pricked
me and somehow I roped in my guts to get back to her and started counseling or
could we call it “making her realize her true self”. By the way, this friend of mine was an
excellent cook and the cooking did take a toll on her health and of course her
weight. With a little effort, I made her
realize that she was truly beautiful and was managing things so
wonderfully. You could call it magic or
a wave of good luck, but now she is a changed person. She is now a positive and I would say more or
less changed person and ensures that she lives everyday with a lot of
positivity and it has created a lot of goodness in her life. It all began with loving herself and I am so
happy that I was the catalyst, so I LOVE MYSELF JUST THE WAY I AM.
Signing off for now
