Fed up with this cycle, I decided it was time for a change. I wanted to learn to love myself better, so I began practicing yoga and meditation, even if I sometimes slipped up. I immersed myself in motivational videos to understand my self-worth, and I can genuinely see improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-587.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23958\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-587.png 1024w, https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-587-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-587-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-587-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Negative self-talk used to be my default, which only deepened my insecurities. To combat this, I wrote \u201cNo negative self-talk anymore\u201d on a post-it note and placed it on my wall as a constant reminder. While I may not fully believe I deserve love yet, I\u2019m learning that healing isn\u2019t linear; it\u2019s a wave of ups and downs. I often think my life is uniquely difficult, but everyone faces their own battles. Recently, I read someone\u2019s story that resonated with me, reminding me that this struggle is a part of life, and I am not alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/?p=23951\" title=\"\">ALSO READ&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Journey of Self-Love and Healing, THE UPS AND DOWNS OF SELF-LOVE JOURNEY, Self-love has always been a challenging journey for me.
