How Yoga Helps Cultivate Self-Love | with a guided meditation
Self-love involves a life-long journey. The current state of the world may have you questioning your worthiness and social media may be challenging your body image.
Regardless of the reasons, it’s not far-fetched to say that everyone struggles with a lack of self-love at some point. It’s a normal part of the process of life. However, we don’t have to be slaves to feelings of unworthiness, negative self-talk or low self-esteem. This is where yoga comes in.
Yoga & Self-Acceptance
Have you ever wondered how different your life would be if you accepted yourself, fully and without judgement?
One of the essential lessons that yoga teaches us is acceptance. Learning to accept ourselves is key in our path to self-love. Yoga can help develop this perspective in many ways. For example, every time you step on the mat accept your body’s limitations or your current state of mind. Be generous and listen to your body.
Being aware of the most vulnerable aspects of ourselves and seeing them clearly with true acceptance sparks a journey of self-awareness. That self-awareness teaches you when you need to let go of expectations. Trusting in the unfolding of our lives and believing that all is as it should be can be liberating.
