Growing up, I struggled with self-confidence, often seeking validation from others, grappling with body image issues, and lacking self compassion. I found it difficult to connect with the concept of self love, which led to feelings of discouragement and self-doubt. I felt so enlightened and free when I finally discovered how to change that. I can tell you, it did not come from the validation of social media or temporary friendships. It came from something even more valuable and gratifying. Every thought you have creates a feeling. That feeling drives an action, and the action gives you a result.
