It is so important to LOVE YOURSELF! Guess what, you are beautiful loving and kind! You are not perfect, and that’s okay because nobody is. I’m smiling at you.
It’s so hard after leaving an abusive spouse because we love them so much and we believe in them. We think about the future and the thought of growing old with them.
Speaking of your future – In reality, we really can’t have a future with someone who is so selfish who plans to abuse us only because we are nice, caring, nurturing and empathetic.
He wined and dined us. Used all the right words and we fell in love. After that the games began.
Remember all the silent treatment. Up and down mood swings. All the times you thought you was going crazy. You weren’t going crazy because, it was him who was playing games with you.
All the times you took him back. All the promises to change. All the abuse. He built you up only to destroy you by bringing you down.
It’s time to drop him mentally and physically. Get your healing on and start loving yourself.
Loving you:
- Get a solid relationship with God.
- Tell yourself positive things.
- Pamper yourself
- Read a good book
- Acknowledge that you are worthy to be loved
- Trust your inner voice
- Do something everyday that you like
- Build yourself up!
- Ask for help if you need it.
- Utilize breathing techniques
I pray these things help you like they helped me.
Please comment and share.
Best,
