6 Reasons why you should love yourself.

6 Reasons Why You Should Love Yourself:

Always be body-positive

Let's face it no one is perfect, we all have those moments of insecurity. Everyone has something they don't like about themselves. It could be a personality trait or something that has to do with your appearance.

That doesn't mean that you can't love yourself for who you are. Here are 6 reasons why you should love yourself for who you are on the inside.

1 Acceptance

Ask anyone you know to name one thing they dislike about themselves. Even when they don't want to admit it we all have that one thing we wish we could change. That is OK, if you don't like something about yourself you could put some effort into changing it. If that is not an option for you let's start with some wisdom. Life is short, do you really want to spend the rest of your life obsessing over imperfection? I know it is easier said than done, but the secret to self-love is acceptance. Accept who you are, the good and the bad. This will give you confidence. God made us all in different shapes and colors. So why should you be ashamed of who you are? Not accepting who you are, creates doubts and insecurity. Have you ever been afraid to go to the beach and have a fun time because you were scared of what other people would think? Relax and enjoy the small things, and make memories you will treasure till the end of time. So get that dress out of the closet you always wanted to wear and go to the gym without worrying how others might view you. Their opinions do not form you or define who you are. People will always have something to say about you either way. But you do not live for them, you are alive to fulfill your own purpose.

2. Confidence

The only way to be confident with who you are is by daring to express yourself. Don't be afraid to try new things. Get that hairstyle you always wanted, and try that new hobby you wanted to pick up. The world is full of options. It would be a pity if you couldn't explore them all. Smile and love life, because being here is a gift. Even when the going gets tough don't be afraid to show the world who you are and what you stand for. After all, you are one of a kind and that is something you surely should appreciate. But don't forget the difference between confidence and ego. It really is a thin line between the two.

3. Talent

I used to be a very shy girl, if I never had the guts to stand up for myself or to try new things I would never discover some of my hidden talents. We all have that one thing we are good at. Make sure you find yours and put it to good use. If you already have a talent, don't be scared to share it with friends, family, and loved ones. For all we know you could be the next Picasso or Pavarotti but unless you don't step over your own boundaries that raw talent will go to waste. Talent takes work, and effort to improve. I do believe talent can be developed with hard work and persistence. Sign up for a class and express your hidden emotions in a creative way. That is one of the ways you can bring a hobby to life.

4. You have your own values

We all have our own values, something we strongly believe in and hold on to. That deserves some self-respect. Could you imagine what life would be like if we didn't have any values? What you stand for is a part of your identity. Something no government, institution, or person can take away from you. It is a piece of freedom that you hold on to and should value. Don't be afraid to speak your mind as long as you do it in a respectful manner. At the end of the day that "what if" question shouldn't be wrecking your train of thought. Stand up for what you believe in and follow your heart.

5. You were born for a reason

Believe it or not, we were all born for a reason. The fact that you are reading this, shows that destiny wanted you to see this message. Sometimes it takes a while to find your path. But that is a healthy adventure. If we could control everything life would be boring. Take a second to answer this question. If you weren't here would this blog have any meaning at all? That is just a small example. Somewhere in time, you were helpful, serving, and kind to someone else who appreciated it and needed you. You might not even know it, but that person was grateful to you at that moment. A small act of kindness can spark an entire chain of positive events.

6. You are special to someone around you

We all have someone in our lives who can not imagine what not knowing us would be like. If it is a friend, a family member, a neighbor, or someone you care about. They love you for who you are because you add value to their lives in one way or another. So why should you not love yourself for the person that you are? Enjoy the time, love, and attention those who care about you give to you. Return kindness and kindness shall keep coming to you. This is after all a part of the law of karma.

Paint Shopping And Food Stop At Warung Resa

Paint Shopping And Food Stop At Warung Resa Hello Story Time friends, welcome back! I'm taking you along on another vlog. This video was made on a hectic day. I split the content of my adventures into different parts. So make sure you subscribe and stay tuned. There are a lot of stories that I still have to finish. I wish I had more time for my creative projects. But with my lifestyle in Suriname that is not realistic! Anyway, we're going paint shopping in different stores. I visited HJ De Vries, Malhoe's Building Materials, and a Historex retailer. When we were done combing through stores for our project, I was hungry and tired! So we decided to go to Warung Resa. Their Javanese food reminds me of my late grandmother's and aunt's cooking. It's flavorful and authentic. We had the Gudanang and the Long Tong Tahoe. Both are traditional dishes in Javanese culture. Long Tong Tahoe is made with bean sprouts, Tahoe, and chicken. It's then drizzled with a spicy

Green Key Expo At Torarica

Green Awareness Expo At Torarica Hola mi amigos welcome back to a new Story Time adventure! There is a vibrant city in the beating heart of the Amazon rainforest! This city is rich with multi-ethnic culture and flavorful food. Of course, I am talking about Paramaribo. Living in the Amazon Rainforest, we're surrounded by greenery. But these parts of the Amazon Rainforest haven't been unaffected by global warming. The recent droughts where multiple rivers and creeks were empty is an example. The gold mining and wood exploitation that happens in our jungles is affecting the beauty of our land. Protecting the Amazon Rainforest means protecting the lungs of the world. Green awareness is a topic that's often mentioned in this part of the world. Hotel Torarica organized a Green Key fair and of course, I had to visit! Now I can finally share the Story with you guys! Creating these Story Time episodes takes a lot of work. So I'd appreciate it if you subscribe and join our tri

Shadows Of Love

Shadows Of Love Sometimes you must shuffle the deck a few times to be dealt the right hand. And sometimes you meet that King Of Hearts in the first move that the game will demand. In the shadows of love, there are many secrets hidden. Something about you felt familiar, calm, and at the same time forbidden. I wonder what the universe was conspiring when our paths crossed. From a distance, I felt your eyes capture my soul. Maybe this is a story that should never be told! But they say that if you want to enter the paradise of lovers you have to pay the toll! A friend once asked me a question, he said: " What is it you are looking for now that we are getting old?". I told him I wanted someone who could spark my mind, soul, and maybe my inner sexual being. After he exposed the beauty hidden in my poetry, thoughts kept flirting with this hidden feeling. Sometimes we need the right people to ask us the right questions! But sometimes when the ones we hide in our hearts want to kno

Storytime with Donovan Dongo, Dongo Brothers selected The Dongo brothers holding the Surinamese flag in front of the W.W.E performance center in America. Today I have some good news for the people of Suriname. I know I am a bit late with this story, but what can I say. I have been having problems with my Internet provider for a while now. If you live in Suriname, you probably can relate. But on with Storytime, today we are going to talk about the Dongo brothers. These guys have proven that dreams do come true, with a lot of hard work and effort. The World Wrestling Entertainment (W.W.E) has selected Donovan and Leandro Dongo to represent Suriname.

Blogger notes: Happy new year! Storytime in 2022

Happy new year, Storytime in 2022 Hi guys, I want to wish all of you a happy new year. I am learning to stay positive no matter the circumstances. Throughout the years I have become a professional at it. The weird thing is, the better I get at it the better my skills become. I have to say I am proud of myself for getting through last year. There were some painful lessons, as usual. I have come to learn that they are a part of the journey that helps me build my successes. The more I embraced positivity the less my anxiety became. Anxiety can be a messed-up demon, but the warrior in me kind of grew tired of it and decided to stab it. That's the problem when you know how strong you are. The only thing is, I just wasn't in a hurry to grow up. Especially if you grew up in the public eye like I did. But I have no regrets. Because each step that I made in life also led me to beautiful people and beautiful experiences. The more content I feel with my life, the more my inn
