We can improve our capacity for emotional regulation, as well as reduce stress, anxiety,
and depression, by engaging in mindfulness practices. It's not good to have
expectations since they keep you from being in acceptance and from moving you
forward in time. You grow more conscious via mindfulness training, and finally being in
the now comes naturally to you. Discover how self-love is also achieved when you can
understand and appreciate mindfulness as your approach to experiencing life and its
challenges.
In this episode:
When we don't live up to our standards, we tend to love ourselves only under certain
conditions and criticize ourselves harshly. It takes perseverance, effort, and dedication
to navigate the challenging path to self-love. Mitra’s story shares both her online and
offline revelations on her road to practicing mindfulness, which has made her a wiser
person. She talks about self-care through the little things we do that bring us a sense of
peacefulness and calmness that can be achieved in our daily lives by being present and
aware.
[06:00] So self-love to me, honestly, is taking care of myself in all ways. It's really being
there for myself.
[11:15] Being offline and being present […helps us in becoming wise]
[18:57] We have one beautiful life to be here on Earth to experience this human
experience.
[20:47] We need to surround ourselves with people that fill us up and if someone is
draining, you must love yourself enough to let these people go.
[21:31] I truly want to live where I deal with things as they come each day so that every
day when I wake-up I am not thinking about something six months ago. I deal with it.
