What did Malaika Arora share on self-love and growth?
Malaika posted a picture with a quote that read, “I fall. I rise, I make mistakes. I live. I learn. I’ve been hurt but I’m alive. I’m human. I’m not perfect but I’m thankful.”
The post talks about going through ups and downs in life, living a fulfilling life, making mistakes and learning from them, and being hurt but getting over the traumas of the past. In the end, it motivates people to pursue growth and love themselves despite their faults. They may not be perfect, but they should be thankful for whatever they have achieved in life.
Self-acceptance and mental health
Self-acceptance is the ladder to self-love and personal growth. Many people have low self-acceptance, and it is often linked with low self-esteem. It often stems from our dependence on other’s positive opinions or having parents who lacked empathy during their childhood.
Per Harvard Health, if we don’t have self-acceptance, our psychological well-being can suffer. For many, practising mindfulness can help reduce the impact of stress. Additionally, suppressing negative emotions such as self-hatred, being aware of your negative or harmful emotions, the ability to stop yourself from spiralling under negative thoughts with mindful breathing, and accepting yourself (negatives and positives alike) can help.
If you need tips on how to practise mindfulness, here are 5 simple ways which can help you reduce stress and boost your mood.
