3 ways you abandon yourself 💔

Here are 3 ways you’re abandoning yourself.

1. You talk down about yourself and use self-deprecating humor.

When you do this often, you begin internalizing the things you’re saying, making them true, when they otherwise wouldn’t be. This is the same way that the power of Affirmations work through Neuroplasticity. Making a quick dig at yourself around close friends or family once and a while is one thing, but once it becomes a habit, you will begin to make these thoughts and ideas true, leading to a lack of confidence in yourself. It also gives those around you an opening to put down or insult you as well, and can give a bad impression to those you don’t know as well.

2. You second guess your intuitive, gut feelings.

I can’t emphasize this one enough. TRUST YOUR GUT. If you ever get that weird feeling about that about a guy, a new friend, a job, a situation or location you are in. LISTEN TO THAT FEELING. It is there for a reason. Our intuition is often our most honest guide, and often times, our bodies can feel like something is wrong before our mind realizes what’s actually going on. That feeling is there to protect you.

3. You shut down your truth to fit in.

Especially in the age of social media, we are influenced to dress, act, and live in a certain way. Sometimes we run into people in life that make us feel lesser because we don’t fit into the mold that they’ve decided is acceptable. If someone who enters your life makes you feel that way, that only means one thing. That those people, aren’t your people.
