METAMORPHOSIS - ep. 19 - I Deserve #30Letters from #yogacamp miniseries

To deserve means to be entitled to something, to be worthy, good enough, meritorious enough to receive or have what you wish for. It means to be able to receive a something because of good service, because of serving devotedly.

When we think of it in the context of self-transformation, it all boils down to how well are you treating yourself? How much service are you putting out there for the people around you, in order to gain that much-wanted self-confidence and sense of ease that leads to an improved you?

We tend to be self-judgmental, self-critical and think so low of ourselves that we often think that good things are not going to happen to us because we're just not lucky enough, not smart enough, not pretty enough. That's just negative down-talk and it doesn't do you any favors, either if you keep it all to yourself or you talk to others about it (plus, people tend to stay away from complainers).

We are all entitled to happiness, health and a good quality of life. From ages ago, people have fought to gain these things because they knew they were entitled to have them. The situation changes when we're alone with our minds. We don't really think to high of ourselves. At least not all the time.

We think that if people around us suffer, we're not allowed to be or feel happy. If people don't show us love, we think we don't deserve it and get frustrated and sad. All the love we will ever need comes from inside us. 

We all have it, most of us forget about it. I don't know about you, but for me, this love comes from God and how He wants me to live this life: with joy, happiness and with the need of helping others, just to feel like I'm being useful.

Self-reflection, as time-consuming and complicated as it might first seem, it's pretty simple actually. All you need is time with yourself, time to think, and a will to understand what you are all about, why you do certain things, why you do them in a certain way and not another, what your feelings are, when and why you have a certain one, and so forth. 

We each are different, have certain life experiences, certain abilities, wants, ideas, dreams. But at the end of the day, we all want to belong, to be accepted, to feel like we deserve to be loved, to be understood.

The trick is to stop asking for permission. Love is free. Happiness is a state of mind. Having a better life it's your right. But you must do the work for getting all of this. Daily! Connect with yourself, breathe deeply, be happy!

Here’s the routine I’m referring to. Day 9 of 30 days of #yogacamp: I Deserve. Enjoy!
