 What happens when self-love starts to work?

Hello my dearest Story Time readers from around the world, how have you been? I am glad to be back with a new edition of Story Time. If you are new here don't forget to jump onto my Story Time U.F.O., that way you won't miss any updates on our new stories.  I am back with a new self-love article. I must admit that I really enjoy writing these self-love stories. It feels good to be able to share my stories with you.  Today we are going to be talking about the 5 things that happen when self-love starts to work! Believe me, in the end investing in yourself pays off. Self-love is nothing but investing love, care, time, and energy into yourself. Even if you want to be of service to others, you can't make it all happen with a busted engine. So here are the 5 things that happen when Self-love starts to work:

                        1. You become more confident!

I know this Surinamese sun has done a number on me. Man do I go on a lot of adventures. And I am not even done sharing my past adventures with you guys. So follow my blog to stay updated on my new stories. Jump onto the Story Time U.F.O. Thanks to self-love I have become more courageous to take steps to make my life easier. I can't be a hypocrite after all! When it comes to self-love you have to fully embrace who you are and put your authentic self out there for the world to see. When self-love starts to work you won't doubt the steps you take. You become more confident with who you are and your decisions. That's when you discover that as long as you love yourself enough to do right by yourself it's more than enough. Whatever extra comes in, is just a bonus but not a necessity. It's all about creating stable foundations within yourself. But you also become more loving and accepting of how you look. You realize that superficial things don't matter. But the things that make us feel and look good at least make the moments that we have more pleasurable. We do these things because we value our life, our existence, who we are, and the time that we have left here. 

               2. Your inner child becomes happy and content!

You know what I am going, to be honest, and say I didn't have the best childhood. I also think that is because I am such a weirdo in this world. But at a certain point, I just stopped trying to adapt to the world. The result of that was that I had learned to use my weirdness as my strength. It's funny the same things people could find weird about you, could be the same skills and perspectives that they are in need of tomorrow. Gasp I cheer myself up by reminding myself that historically all great minds were perceived as eccentric by their environment. I understand what it's like to be in a tough position kids. But there is some good news I can share with you, and that is that what you couldn't do for yourself as a kid, you can do as an adult. So why not keep that hidden inner child of yours safe, comfortable, and loved. Sometimes we just have to learn to heal ourselves. That involves a lot of heavily relying on our instincts.  Even though I might be growing older I like to keep my inner child alive. So if you often find me in the kid's corner playing with the other kids leave me alone.😌😋😋😂😂😁😁

          3. You are not afraid to take on new opportunities!

I have to say since I started my self-love journey It was easier for me to come out of my shell and show myself in small parts to the outside world as an introvert. Some might say that I might have been blessed with the opportunities I have received, others will call it luck. I like to see it as a little bit of that good karma paying off along with my bravery to seize and explore opportunities that I come across. I wasn't afraid of failing anymore, I just spread my wings like a phoenix and trusted the universe to hold me stable with its air under my wings. You have to take the initiative somewhere. Self-love helps let go of anxiety. I know that I wasn't going to be the person to stand in my own way. There are many moments that have become a part of my journey and helped define my character. After all those intense and tiring adventures, you kind of become fearless. It's like you are a superhero that's used to fighting another battle each day. Some heroes don't wear their capes out in the open. The more opportunities and chances you take on the better the results. Besides you just might be surprised where the universe ends up bringing you.

              4. You practice strong boundaries with ease!

Another thing that you will notice when practicing self-love starts to work is that it becomes super easy to practice strong boundaries. That is because self-love makes it a lot easier to choose for yourself and it encourages you to keep making decisions that will benefit your own well-being too. It's the right kind of medicine for those who like me have suffered from the people pleasing syndrome. You have no idea how happy I am that self-love helps keep me in check. So that my good heart doesn't end up overdoing it or that people don't misuse me. Something I know we can't prevent all the time. But that's why those boundaries are so important for your own mental health. These days learning to say no when necessary can be an asset!

             5. You start to value the right things in your life

I can't believe we reached point number 5 of what happens when self-love starts to work so fast! I enjoy sharing my wisdom with you as much as you love reading my stories. Before we reach point number 5 don't forget to jump onto the Story Time U.F.O. you can also share this post on social media with the click of a button. One of the favorite things that I noticed when my self-love game started to pay off was that I started to value the right things in my life. We aren't alone on this planet, along with billions of other people that live here we also share this home with billions of other species. Life is a gift, and being able to admire and observe the universe from my perspective is an even greater gift. There are so many people out there who chase a career, title, connections, and network. But how many of them actually stand still from time to time just to feel the wind and know they are alive? To just show appreciation for the gift of living. I hope you guys have grown a bit wiser from my self-love article. Thank you for all the love and support and until next time right here at Story Time.
