Latina Self Love Advocate & Blogger
I'm Sujeiry, a self-love advocate and blogger, and your digital self-love cheerleader. Learn more about me and my journey to self-love!
Every day I choose to love myself, release old narratives, and not be a victim of my circumstances.
In childhood, I learned toxic patterns that I later repeated as an adult. Which is why loving myself wasn't always easy. Despite my smiles and high spirits, I often feigned happiness. When partying with friends and gathering with loved ones, I thought that I loved myself and my life. Once alone, old stories and insecurities crept in and my abandonment wound ruptured. The fear of being left consumed me night after night. Especially after one too many Bacardi and Cokes.
How It Went
In romantic relationships, I often showed up as a woman who did not love or value herself. And that self-concept manifested itself in many ways like...
Mentally, I would pick myself apart, and so men that I dated would mention that they didn't like those exact qualities about me.
I felt insecure and intimidated around women who I believed were more sophisticated and sexier than me.
I didn't speak up in relationships because I was too afraid to upset my partner and to be left. (Walking on egg shelves is a bitch.)
I was a people pleaser, saying yes to a romantic partner when I really meant no. In other words, I went along to get along.
I rarely expressed my feelings of deep love because I was afraid those feelings would not be reciprocated.
I didn't cry in front of men because I thought crying was needy.
The Shift to Self-Love
Once I realized that nothing filled my cup of love, I understood the assignment: I had to find some way to fill it on my own. I read self-help books on feminine energy, attachment styles, and healing. Eventually, I found Abraham Hicks and the Law of Attraction. And my mind was blown.
I now understand and embrace the fact that our dominant thoughts create our reality.
I can pinpoint the consistent fears and thoughts that previously created unhealthy relationship dynamics and patterns. And, no: we don't have to be happy every minute of the day. Just try to choose joy over fear.\
How It's Going
I am now an advocate for Mindset and Conscious Creation. I am aware of my thoughts and feelings, practice mindfulness, remain present as best as I can, and decide who I am (self concept) and the life I will live. This is who I am now.
I love myself through and through and believe that I am perfect just the way I am. And because I love and trust myself, I follow my intuition. I follow my dreams and passions without hesitation. I allow myself to flow and release control as much as I can. And I believe in myself on an entirely new level.
I always speak up for my needs and my loved ones respect all of my boundaries.
I know that my dominant thoughts are what create my life, so I choose them daily. I also know that I am human and show myself grace when I return to an outdated mindset and version of myself.
I cry when I'm hurt or frustrated. Because being my naturally tender and sensitive self is not a sign of weakness. In fact, it's one of the traits that I fully embrace now about myself.
I believe that I can have anything that I want. I live life joyfully because I know just how amazing and powerful I truly am.
