How does self-love make your life successful? What is self-love? Self-love is an essential part of your health and well-being. Do you want to help others? Then serve them with your best self. True self-love is the result of introspection, self-compassion, and self-awareness. All of which need time, effort, energy, desire, and attention, by BetterHelp Editorial Team with additions by Ann Payton.
A healthy self-love outlook will keep us on the top of our game in life's ups and downs. The downs we encounter will, at some point in life, be traumatic. Maybe you have already experienced trauma or adversity in your life. Believe it or not, there is a reason and benefit that comes from trauma. Really? YES! Overcoming and healing from such experiences takes strength and perseverance. What is the benefit? We are better equipped to follow through with our purpose to help others. It is part of the soul of a woman. It is most likely part of your purpose.
What is my purpose? My purpose is to help women overcome and heal from trauma and adversity so they can live their best life. Solutions Over Sides is my journey through some of my most difficult traumas in life in book form. Why did I write it? l was afraid. I was in pain. I did not kow what to do. I didn't know who to talk to. I was ashamed. I as devasted. I was desperate. If only I had someone to hold my hand, help and support me with compassion. I needed someone who cared about what would happen to me.
I am the person now that I needed back then. I have overcome, and I have been healed. I needed my middle-aged self from today to be there for me and speak truth and wisdom to me as a frightened 16-year-old girl, back many years ago. I want to be that person for women now who have experienced trauma. I am an expert on trauma and how to get to the other side. I am proof positive that there can be joy after trauma. I know how to help.
This is the message I would like to get out to women: Hey friend, there you are in pain, I see you wanting to reach out, but you are afraid. You feel all alone and do not know where to turn. You want to be heard but don’t want anyone to know. You are saying to yourself over and over, what am I going to do? You can’t get out of your head. You feel desperate. I can help you; I know. I’ve been there. Share with me, send me a message. Tell me what is happening. I will listen. If you or someone you know needs this message, share it with them. There is Hope. Let us all work together to empower women to be all that they can be. Every woman is a BRAVE GIRL. We have to be! It is in us. Let’s bring the Brave Girl out from hiding. Every woman in this magazine is reaching out to empower women. We are all proof that we can overcome and help others along the way. This is the year for women. We can do this together. Each one of us has a unique way of reaching out to another woman who needs encouragement, truth, and wisdom.
