Why loving yourself really is the greatest love of all
Watch.
In the words of Whitney Houston “Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all.”
But can you really love yourself and why does it even matter?
“We think we’ll be happy when we get the job or the relationship, the house, the money, the weight loss, whatever it might be. And when we get those things it feels good when we’ve accomplished it, but for a very short amount of time. It doesn’t create the happiness that we think we’ll then have as part of our life going forward.”
— Nicola Mercer
“I just didn’t love myself in the way that I should and once I realised that, everything in my life kinda made sense. All the positions and all the different directions I took in my life made more sense to me. I realised why I was the way I was and what I wanted in my life from this point on.”
— Melisa Dervisevic
We’re exploring self-love and self-worth with guest Melisa Dervisevic in today’s episode to uncover why loving yourself really is the greatest love of all. Melisa is a health and wellness coach who is passionate about helping women to be able to love themselves and know their worth because as she shares in her own story, it is only when you value yourself and believe in yourself with love and compassion that you can create a life you love.
In today’s conversation we discuss:
What self-love is and why it matters.
The struggle that so many people have loving and even liking themselves.
Steps to take to begin building self-love.
The ripple effects of working on knowing your worth and value on all areas of your health and wellbeing.
The power in realising that happiness isn’t found in external things but when you are clear on your purpose.
How social media affects our opinion and worth of ourselves and breaking free from comparison and perfectionism.
The importance of practicing self-compassion and acceptance of yourself.
Harnessing the power of positive self-talk to reinforce self-love and self-worth.
About Melisa:
Melisa worked as a Family Nurse Practitioner for 8 years but always felt like something was missing or that she needed to do more. After facing some challenges in her life, she went on a journey to find herself and to figure out her ‘purpose’ in the world. Working through therapy and life coaching she learned so much about herself. Melissa dug deep and was able to get clear on what she wanted from her life and know why this mattered to her.
With focus and consistency, Melisa built her self-worth so that she no longer chased it in the outside world. She’s now certified as a health and wellness coach helping women discover their self-worth so that they too can take control of their life and live the radiant life they dream of.
Melisa is a single Mom to her four year-old daughter and loves showing her the importance of putting yourself and your happiness first.
