my self love journey
life is about harmony
living harmoniously with others and the planet
but also with ourselves
feeling comfortable in our own skin
being happy with who we truly are
self love has been a rocky road for me
as for most
with so much pressure from society and media
to look a certain way
act a certain way
live a certain way
it's extremely hard to stand on your own and break from the crowd
spending time alone is good for the soul
wether that be in the comfort of your own home
or living out of a backpack half way across the globe
getting to really know yourself
what you like, what you don't
what you want from life
and what make you truly happy
is essential to your growth
i used to hate spending time alone
i got easily bored and needed constant attention
or so i thought
after living alone for a while and solo travelling
i realised how freeing it was to be alone
and how much fun i could have in my own company
being able to do as i pleased
and learning what brings me joy
it can be as simple as reading a book
something so benign
yet infinitely freeing
getting lost in another world
or educating yourself on something that interests you
perhaps its a bit more extreme like kayaking the ocean
feeling the wind in your hair
the sun on your cheeks
listening to the sounds of the ocean
theres nothing stopping you
no one to tell you no
to get bored and want to turn back
to have a better idea or so they say
no time wasted waiting on them to wake up
but it's not all about learning what you like
but also liking yourself
feeling comfortable in your own skin
and having the confidence to be yourself
solo travelling is a great way to grow your confidence
pushing you out of your comfort zone
and jumping straight in at the deep end
socialising with lots of people from all walks of life
hearing their stories and expanding your own voice
getting the chance to be yourself
and find your people
those people you really connect with and love you for you
it might sound scary but it'll be second nature in no time
make sure not to get yourself down for not being a spitting image
of that influencer you admire on insta
everybody's born different and thats just that
don't pick at what your not
but cherish what you have
be proud of yourself
your skill
your scars
if you want something work hard and go for it
nothing comes for free
spend time on yourself and your passions
and see where life takes you
this is who i am
adhd
silly
boystrous
passionate
adventurer
loud
confident
dyslexic
creative
enthusiastic
don't let your quirks be your weaknesses
don't let the things that make you you bring you down
be proud of them and learn to control them
to build you up and live your best life
i was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia when i was 18
before that i struggled through life being a slow processor and hyperactive
however instead of getting the proper help
i was deemed a nuisance
since being diagnosed i read up on what aspects of my life are derived from my dyslexia and ADHD
this way i could figure out my weaknesses and make them my strengths
my ADHD may make it hard for me to slow down, so why slow down
my loudness and passion makes me a great advocate
this helps me to spread the message of sustainability
and to enthusiastically talk about my brand and work
Things to do when your alone
