Aren't You Worth it?

Too many females are giving up the goods way too fast. Relationships are more than physical attraction. Don't get me wrong, there should definitely be sexual tension between you and whomever you're talking to. However, that doesn't mean you should let him drop them panties so fast. Instead, build a bond with him. Try to become best friends. By building a strong bond with one another you learn to trust and communicate with each other. Communication and trust are two essential aspects in a relationship. I say, save sex for someone who's willing to wait and build something with you that will last. After all, aren't you worth it.

Do you agree or disagree with my concept? Please share :)

DO YOU LOVE YOURSELF?

Do you have self-compassion? You may think that you have high self-esteem, and view your self as a confident person, but that doesn't mean you have self-compassion.  
Self-compassion is extending compassion to one's self in instances of perceived inadequacy, failure, or general suffering.
How many times have you called yourself stupid, fat, or not good enough? I used to speak to myself this way, to motivate myself to lose weight, read more or overall become a better me. However, I'm learning now that, thinking this way doesn't benefit me emotionally or spiritually. Instead I've learned to say nice things to myself even when I don't feel at my best. I'm also learning that motivation works best for me with encouraging words.
How to gain self-compassion:
 Self-kindness: you have to treat yourself with kindness especially when dealing with pain, and suffering. Say kind, motivating things to yourself all the time.( try to hug yourself everyday)  
Common humanity: you have to realize that suffering is shared with all of humanity and is apart of life. Don't let your suffering consume you.   
Mindfulness: be aware of your negative thoughts and emotions. Try not to judge your negative feelings or thoughts, but instead recognize it, and try to over power that feeling with positive thinking.
    For my "Cultivating Actor's Awareness" workshop my instructor advised us to take this self-compassion test. If your interested in building self-compassion try taking this test. Link below:
