Do you fully love yourself?
Accepting your flaws and your faults is one thing, but loving a person who can have your thoughts, your emotions, your vices, and your mistakes? That's a completely higher level of self-love.
We must understand ourselves in the most intimate way possible, and find the reason for every negative emotion, every shameful act, every word and deed that you now regret. Taking the skeletons out of our closets and try to remember why they are there in the first place. Perhaps the most important thing we will discover is that most parts of our personality have a cause. Maybe a false understandings of reality, or trauma, or feelings of victimhood.
We must find the causes and trace your past. Learn to love ourselves in a way that only we can. To stop being ashamed of your past we must start understanding it. When you hide away past emotions, you essentially put yourself in a cage of your own making. The only way out is to push through the uncomfortable truths you've been repressing. If you go near the edge of the cage, you feel extreme discomfort. In that place of discomfort, you can finally deal with past trauma and pain.
Mindfulness is the key to escape from your emotional cage. The more you deal with past emotions through mindfulness the less emotional disturbance can occur. Emotional disturbance is based on something that happened to you long ago, something you haven't let go of.
Through mindfulness, we can let go and then we can finally be free.
