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: 1:18

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: 4:53

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: 6:35

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: 8:14

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: 10:13

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.
