Before reading another word of this post… we recommend getting yourself “in the mood.” Any upbeat, happy song will do. We recommend “Let’s Get Loud.” Jennifer Lopez encapsulates what this post is about… getting LOUD and having FUN!
Self Love Rockstars… sometimes we have a habit of taking ourselves wayyyyyyyyy too seriously. We over process, overanalyze, overwork, sometimes over criticize, and basically “over” anything and everything. Grinding, exploring, inspecting, reflecting, processing, working, and “doing” are all important and essential qualities of loving ourselves and rocking it. But… another equally, if not more important practice of self love is having more FUN!
Tony Robbins stresses the importance of changing our state physically and mentally so that our ideal higher standards (in terms of our quality of life), can reflect in our physiology and experience of the world. In other words, HOW do we deal with things and situations around us? Abraham (Esther) Hicks teaches that the simple act of feeling good helps us flow downstream towards the things we want, which is ultimately- happiness. It’s funny, because we shouldn’t really need convincing to just “chill out” and feel good, but sometimes we do. Why? What is our problem anyway?
Sometimes the issue can be that we feel it is necessary to pay extra attention to whatever “stuff” is going. Why? Maybe it appears (to ourselves and those we care about), that we don’t care for example. Or maybe we focus on whatever “stuff” is going on in hopes that all the attention on the issue will change it somehow or miraculously solve it.. The truth of the matter is that the better we feel, the easier it is for more solutions to come our way, and the more impact we have on our experience.
To be perfectly clear rockstars, I’m not talking about the person who walks into a room uber cheerfully that seems inauthentic to everyone in the room… where you silently want to punch the person because they are overflowing with superficial happiness. Self Love fun is about feeling good and letting your effervescence pour out of you and into the universe.Put on some music, smile, get creative, move your body, and just go with the flow- even if it’s just for a few moments every day.
As Tony Robbins says, “Where focus goes, energy flows.” If we put our focus on having fun and “getting loud,” we will attract more fun into our life, which is a GOOD thing! Let’s all lighten up and have fun. The self love will flow easier into you when you let go of all the strings of stress pulling you the other direction. Try it!
Self Love FUN Challenge for the week; Don’t overthink or overanalyze anything (even this exercise) for ONE hour (or more) every day this week. Just relax and repeat the thought “I don’t have to figure this out right now” unless there is a true emergency like a fire or something of course. Put on some music, paint a picture, or do something else just for fun! Giddy up rockstars!
