Can you feel the self-love tonight?

 Story Time: Can you feel self-love tonight?


How have you guys been? Welcome back to a new Story Time self-love article. Can someone unleash the drum rolls, please?  Today I am radiating self-love toward all of you. I mean can we afford to not do that with all the crazy things that are happening in the world? Plus life is short and look at how fast I turned 29!  So having said that I am choosing to live my life and the first place to start is by taking care of ourselves and our own needs. Yaay for how self-love gives us the ability to choose for ourselves. Something that seems to be difficult for a lot of people. I used to be one of those people and I have to be honest sometimes I still struggle with it. But I am acting from a better place, the more I learn the more I grow.  You can't keep pouring from an empty cup, what good would that do for other people or yourself?  Sometimes we just need to learn to stand strong on our own, not to isolate ourselves from the world. But instead to find out what we are made of.  If there is one thing that self-love has made me more aware of it is that there is nothing wrong with vulnerability. Throughout my experience with people, I have come to realize, that we are all vulnerable. We just don't always feel safe and comfortable showing it. That's why I think that the most important safe space that you should have, is the one that you create within yourself.  Why should you become your own worst enemy? Sometimes bad thoughts can mess with our self-esteem and the way that we view ourselves. It can leave you feeling unmotivated, depleted, drained and even depressed or unsatisfied, and even stuck with life. We might not feel good enough for ourselves and others. That is a very unhealthy place to be in. Don't base your self-worth because of the way others perceive you. If the most successful people I know would do that then they would have never made it this far. Even history shows many examples of successful and innovative people who kept chasing their dreams no matter how impossible society perceived them to be.  Your power is within, so you have to claim it! You are the one who owns who you are! So you might as well treat yourself like the main star. If you feel like the world is already weighing against you, why should you add to your own burdens? Self-sabotaging behavior can take on many forms and might creep up on you without you even noticing it. It happens when you feed your mind with anxiety, fear or when you have problems letting go of the past. For the most part, it all starts with how you treat yourself on the inside. The mind is a powerful machine! The mind can create, build and innovate.  When it functions in its prime glory, it stores our happy and sad memories. Without it, our human existence would simply not be the same. Especially when it comes to the way we perceive the world around us. But be careful with how you treat it! If you fill up a car engine with the wrong kind of oil, you are basically destroying the machine. That is why it matters what you feed your mind. Let's make a deal starting today, we are feeding our minds with self-love! Make a note of the day that you start this journey with me on my blog and let's see what the results will be after a year. Feel free to provide me with feedback in the comment section. If you won't believe in yourself and love yourself the way you deserved to be loved who else will?  That's why I designed this wonderful exercise for you, my dearest readers. If you want to stay updated each time I post a new article don't forget to jump onto my Story Time U.F.O that way we can go on many adventures together.  Starting off with this Can you feel the self-love tonight game? It has a list of my favorite self-love affirmations to practice for the end of the day.  Repeat after me in this order or you can just write it down or practice this game when you are looking in a mirror:

I can feel self-love tonight because I am happy!
I can feel self-love tonight because I decide to be happy!
I can feel self-love tonight because I manifest my happiness!
I can feel self-love tonight because I am content with my day!
I can feel self-love tonight because I did more than enough for the day! I can feel self-love because I know I am worthy! I can feel love for myself so I decide to take care of myself! Self-love lets me do what is best for me. Self-love makes me abundant and healthy. I can feel self-love because I am the most authentic version of myself!

Can you feel self-love tonight?
It fuels me so I can share my light.
It feeds me to become a better version of myself every night.
It helps me not lose sight of what is wrong and right.
I can feel self-love because every day I find tools to build the life I want. I can feel self-love because I know that I alone can decide the outcome of how much effort and time I invest in myself! I can feel self-love because I know that I am worth every ounce of love that I show myself. I can feel self-love because my being can simply not be withheld.  I can feel self-love even as I rest. My body needs the proper tender love and care! So that when I need it, it can always be there. Each labor and act of service that I put out towards myself will make tomorrow easier.  It's because I feel self-love tonight that I will live each day happier. No matter what burdens, traumas, or pain I have experienced. I will not let things that I cannot control influence how I feel about myself. It is because of my experiences that I know that I deserve a better life for myself.  That is why I claim the power of self-love for myself!

I can feel love for myself when I pursue my passion!
I can feel love  for myself when I allow myself to dream
I can feel love for myself when I make myself feel heard and seen!
I can feel love for myself when I make my home feel like a mansion! I can feel love for myself when I realize that I have the power to decide what I do and do not value! I can feel love for myself when I do the things that I love to do. I can feel love for myself when I take care of my mind.  Self-love helps me be kind. To myself and those around me. Self-love helps me practice boundaries and select who does and does not deserve my time and energy. Self-love helps me identify relations that no longer serve me. And most important of all self-love helps me identify my needs!  I need to know what I want for myself, to keep my mind, body, and soul content. Self-love makes sure that I am my own best friend. Self-love feeds me with courage and confidence. I can feel self-love because my glow is radiant! I can feel self-love because anxiety, depression, fear, and my limitations have become irrelevant. They do not control me when I am feeding myself with self-love.  I can feel self-love because I effortlessly can practice self-love! I can feel self-love because I have found my own stable rock. It keeps me grounded and connected with my environment. 


What do you guys think of my little self-love game? Now I hope you get down and dirty to play this game with yourself every night! If you want you can take notes in your own personal self-love diary and make notes of the progress that you have made. It won't be long before you notice why it is important to feed your mind with self-love! When you give your engine the right kind of full nothing can hold your horses back.  You have the ability to build the life that you desire, but it all starts with how you treat yourself! I have some more fun self-love games for you, that I will be sharing in the future. Don't forget to check out my Story Time Productions Book store page or my merchandise store where I have a couple of cool designs.  Feel free to explore my website, you will find my socials in the menu options and you can also listen to my podcast from the menu.  I can't wait to share more fun stories with you guys in the future.  Until next time right here on Story Time!

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

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
