For the longest time I have always heard people say love yourself. It was not easy for me to practice self love since i had no clear understanding what it meant. For me self love, self worth, selfless self esteem and self confidence,had more or less meaning .I realised we need to understand what it means to love yourself before practicing it. In this blog I share my understanding of self love and I know it will enlighten someone who might not have a clear understanding of pure self love

Self worth is not self esteem. Self esteem is derived from our abilities,our accomplishments, social positions and achievements. It also come by our skills our performance and our self esteem goes up and down depending on how we are doing in various aspects of our life.

On the opposite our self worth self love is unconditional. It’s never about comparing ourselves to others,it’s not something we can have more or have less. Self worth is unconditional self love, and the sense that you deserve to be alive, to be loved and cared for . It is not from how things looks like or how others think of you,but how you yourself loves and cares for you

Embrace and love the things that make you different. This is what makes you special. There is no one on this planet like you, so you cannot compare yourself to someone else.
Get in touch with your inner dialogue. If it’s anything less than loving, encouraging and supportive, it’s time to make a change. Have a positive inner dialogue
You will love yourself more, when you take better care of your basic needs. People high in self-love nourish themselves daily through healthy activities, nutrition , exercise, proper sleep, and healthy social interactions.

Give up the need for approval from others. “You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there’s still going to be somebody who hates peaches.” — Dita Von Teese

In my last blog, i shared on changing your inner energies to achieve your desired future. I promised to continue with sharing on mind power and the few lessons I have learned , seen them work and achieved some of my childhood dreams. My journey of achievement has just started and I’m grateful to have the wonderful insight at my age. I love to share about this great gift which is within each and every one of us .It’s potential and power that helps us create our desired lifestyle. It is also in the same tool ( mind) we block our power and our abilities through the emotion of fear.with you mind you can create or destroy yourself. In this blog I’m delighted to share few steps on how to start unlocking the power and practical mind practices to start the shift. “Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind”

HAVE A CLEAR VISION-: I’ve learned few lessons from life ( Universe) but perhaps the most significant is that it’s not where you are that matters or important, but how clear you are of where you are going to. Your vision ,dream and goal must be clear.

PAY THE PRICE-: Take action.You got to do a lot of what you don’t want to do…to get what you want to have and to reach where you want to be. Every decision you make is a trade off towards something else saying yes to one thing means you are saying no to something else . What matters most to you? What are your personal values? What are your.personal priorities ? Be ready to pay the price and take action every single day towards the directions of your goal ,

DONT TAKE A NO FOR AN ANSWER-: Do not allow yourself to see a no as a rejection. Many times you will be told NO, so don’t let that change your focus. No matter how many times you fail, quickly bounce back. Many people with great achievements have failed again and again, they have been told no many times but they refused to take no for an answer . Do not allow challenges and destructive criticism to slow you down. Learn from your mistakes and don’t be bitter but be better. You too refuse to take No for an answer and see it as a delay and not a denial .

KNOW FOR SURE YOU CAN( BELIEVE IN YOUR POWER)-: Whatever happens here on earth, we have the power and authority to live our life with joy and happiness no matter what happens around us. We are created by God and not man .within us is the power that crates all things we see that are made by man. We are gods and our mind is a creative tool with power to desire, will, believe and act. Do not fear, the Universe got you back.

ITS IN YOU POWER TO CHOOSE-: Deuteronomy 30:19 “This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.” We have a brilliant mind, we always have a choice. No one has the power to choose or make decisions for you unless you allow them. Only you who have the power and authority to control your choices. Take full responsibility of your life.

“Whether you think (believe)you can, or you think you can’t–you’re right. -Henry Ford

What do you believe?

Many of us are Living in lack and blaming something outside there and waiting for things to change .

The quantum model of reality is cause n effect

It takes faith to create your desired lifestyle. Quantum faith .changing your mindset and knowing you are the only person responsible for your life . Don’t sit and wait for that time when things will change , its you to change and create your reality by taking a step at a time. At my age im still young to claim i know the game of life and how to play it , but i have learned few lessons that have literally changed my way of living or even to put it better, i have a better relationship with myself ,Spirit soul and body. My first lesson that i would like to share in this blog is about changing your inner energies. The way you think and the way you feel. There is no promise thats the journey is easy, but one thing i have learned is taking the baby steps and keep on moving and believe in your power.

YOUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS TO MATCH YOUR DESIRED LIFE

When you start feeling abundant, worthy , and start feeling whole you become empowered for success . The moment you start feeling healthy and when you start loving yourself and loving life, you create your reality, instead of blaming and being a victim saying they did this to me, i come from this family, or this happened to me. Start feeling worthy and you start generating the energy of abundance . You activate the law of course and effect

FOCUS ON WHOM YOU WANT TO BE

Stop telling the story of your past failures and start telling your story of your future . Be defined by the vision of your future , not focusing on the challenges as a problem instead focus on the solution and the end result . Thoughts are the language of the brain and emotions are the language of your body. How you think and how you feel creates your state of being. It takes effort and if you keep applying the formula of focusing on you beautiful future you start shifting to the life you are consciously creating. Live in your future reality in this very moment , believe it even if you can’t experience it in your senses yet .Beginn to embrace that desired future before its manifested

HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT

If you are truly passionate about your future and you start holding on to that vision, you are preoccupied with it, all of a sudden your thought and emotion in your mind becomes your experience and you start feeling the Energy of the Future. The stronger the emotions you feel from that vision makes you pay more attention on your desired future and hence the right choices and actions becomes empowered by the strong energies within you.

YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF YOU LIFE. DON‘T PLAY A VICTIM

“You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of.” Jim Rohn

Don‘t play the victim because you are the Creator of your reality. There is no Prince Charming in this story called Life, there are no rescue boats,no one is coming on your way, you are no gona be picked up- , so stop waiting to be scooped up,. Start moving by envisioning you future.

In the next blog i will share about how to start the shift. I realized its not enough when we read about achievement without the how to start the shift . The practical part of change is knowing how to.

Hebrews 11. 1.Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.

MY FIRST PHOTOSHOOT

You really don’t know what something is like until you experience it yourself . I am a fun of photography and i enjoy taking pictures anytime and anywhere. So i decided to try professional photoshoot.

One of the best things about taking photos in the nature is that it is so accessible. You don’t need to travel far to find it, because it’s all around you. The beautiful nature parks around you.

The time of year that you are having the photoshoot is a really important consideration. It was in summer, the beautiful trees,the colourful flowers on a sunny day, bumblebees dashing busily around from flower to flower. Their soft buzzing was soothing to hear and was fun watching them get covered in yellow pollen. Was careful not to be stung by the busy bees while I was making those poses and enjoying every moment. Ooh not forgetting The stare from people at the park .I have to confess it was not that easy being my first ever photoshoot. I learned alot and thanks to my photographer for being patient with me and helping me relax and enjoy the moment.

Here I want to share with you some memories from a lovely outdoor in the nature photoshoot which had lots of laughs ,fun and running around. The fun memories and melt downs during the shoot. Im lucky to have an amazing photographer who took me as an amateur and made me comfortable. He taught me how to pose which was fun ,chatting with me while we were working together helped make me feel more relaxed, resulting to amazing pictures. I also had support from my aunt who did help carry my big luggage which had lots of wears that i ended not wearing them all. Lesson learned : few outfits thats suits the nature is enough to go. We had lots of fun .

DREAMLIKE AUTUMN SEASON.

Autumn marks the transition from summer to winter, the duration of daylight becomes noticeably shorter and the temperature cools considerably. Day length decreases and night length increases as the season progresses. Some countries call it fall indicating fall of leaves. The fallen leaves are usually very pretty.This marks the end of summer holidays

Kenya is right along the equator and country along the equator have 12 hours hours day and 12 hour night. This being my first ever experience of autumn it came with a lot of surprises, the days being shorter and nights being longer, the change of time and the leaves turning red, orange or yellow and creating a mosaic of autumnal hues. I still couldn’t believe I could experience a beautiful and amazing season. Seeing some leaves falling from the trees but they’re all yellow (still amazing). I stop and felt every drop of the leaves. This experience is It’s a dream come true, far from all my expectations. It’s amazing how the nature unfolds it’s self before my eyes . I have learned to let go of the past and the things not working in my life just as the trees effortlessly let go of the dead leaves.

I’m glad I experienced this and looking forward to my first snow fall experience .
