Hello , peace be upon you wherever you are on this planet . Welcome back to In Peace . This is our very first episode in this new year . I'm grateful for each and every one of you , especially those who got in touch to ask about In Peace . It is nice to hear that some people noticed the gap that we had . But here I am back . I'm grateful to be back , to connect with you , and in today's episode I want to talk about a really deep concept that I will touch on some of it on this episode , but we will talk about it in the next few ones , I'd say , and this concept is the concept of self-love and how important having that in your life , put it into practice , and how sadly many people have misunderstanding of what self-love is all about .

Speaker 1

A some think it's selfish to love yourself . So it's important to unfold what self-love is all about . How do you love yourself ? And this is what we're going to talk about today . So self-love is all about loving yourself with all your being , loving yourself , especially in your lowest moments , in your quote-unquote failures , and in every state , every circumstances . And in every state , every circumstances , every , every really situation in life , to have that self love and understanding that you are so , so , so precious , because you are created by allah , by the divine , by god , um . So remembering that , how , how deep you are , remembering that you are not merely your name or your physical body or your nationality or your or the language you speak , or what you own or or you are not any of that . You are so much more , so much deeper than that a , and acknowledging , remembering your , your goodness and how you are made by the divine is really what give you that deep self-love . Because when you have that , you are , really , through that , expressing your gratitude and your appreciation of the gift that you were giving the gift of life , the gift of giving , the gift of sharing , the gift of receiving all the and all what this life experience offers you , with all the challenges and all the joy and every bit of it . Receive it and be grateful for it . And , yeah , this is why self-love is so important and I believe remembering that always will give you the courage to always have self-love and to always a honor yourself and honor the gift of life that you are giving . So it is really a sacred thing to love yourself , um , and the first thing that you can put self-love into practice is through having self-compassion .

Speaker 1

And what is self-compassion and how do we put it into practice ? So , basically , self-compassion is the ability to contain yourself and give yourself a sense of safety , containment , containment in your lowest , lowest , lowest moments , in the most difficult experiences , in quote-unquote failures or problems . Containing that and reprogramming the very popular common automated reaction of self-blaming , self-sabotaging , self-criticizing , self-shaming . So purifying all that , getting rid of all that and reprogramming these automated reactions to events , to difficulties , to quote-unquote failures , reprogramming that and purifying them and and transform them . Transform them into self-compassion and containment for yourself .

Speaker 1

Hardships really come from this sense of a self-shame or self-blame or self-sabotaging or the constant self-criticism . And when you use your power to purify that , to reprogram that , you really give yourself an endless gift because you can contain this with self compassion , which is really is recognizing as human beings we have weaknesses , we have shortcomings , we have flaws . So recognizing all this and accepting it as part of the human nature aim this all is self-compassion and discover in ways how we can have self-confidence and self-love through it all , through all these flaws and imperfections , and love them as they are as part of our human nature . So that is really the importance of self-compassion is containing ourselves in our lowest , lowest moments , and I love an exercise that I'd love to end this with , which is by Louise Hay , which I'm sure many of you heard about her .

Speaker 1

She has a beautiful book called you Can Heal your Life that you can refer to and you can find this exercise and also just the exercise of the mirror . It's basically looking at yourself at the mirror . Talk to yourself that like you're talking to your closest friend or you're talking to your very precious daughter or son or loved one , talking with the softest , most compassionate language , and say dear and use your name , obviously a look at yourself at the eye and say that I accept you . In any case , what is happening now will pass and we will pass it , pass through it together and you are safe , we are safe under the divine safety , and talk more like you can use any affirmations , you can use any story , kind story , a kindest language . You can when you're looking at yourself in the eye and honestly , this will change your life and will give you that sense of safety within and remember that you are provided with endless love , with endless compassion by the divine , by Allah , and when you always remember that you'll always have this sense of safety and sense of peace within .

Speaker 1

So go on , try this murder exercise . You can use exact wording that you'll find in louise hay's book , or you can use your own language . Let it come purely from the heart . I know , maybe at the start your monkey chatter if you never did this before your monkey chatter might come and like , tell you naughty things like what is this nonsense , what are you talking about ? And all these things . But just have the awareness of these , tell them . Okay , I'm aware you're not used to this , but you're not serving me . I'm changing the way how I see myself , how I love myself , and all this self , negative self-talk will pass and it will be reprogrammed . This will be the new you , the new way that you deal with things with deep self-compassion . Until I connect with you next time , I wish you all peace , healing and endless self-compassion and , yeah , lots of love to you all and salamata .
