5 Steps to Radical Self Love

Soul Surgery with Nicky Clinch

Welcome to another episode of the Soul Surgery Podcast, I am honoured to have you here. This week I have recorded a solo episode discussing how we can give ourselves the gift of radical self-love.

Last week I woke up feeling empty, exhausted and so drained, to the point that I could feel the effects were impacting upon my whole outlook on life. I realised I had stopped seeing any possibility and wasn’t appreciating any of the good in my life. Instead I had become focused on what was triggering me and how I was being lived by my stories.It felt painful to realise this, but at the same time it was a gift; a moment of real clarity. I uncovered a deep awareness of how much we all shame and judge ourselves if we aren’t feeling happy or positive.

We live in a world where a constant state of happiness is the ultimate goal. So much so that feeling any negative emotion can often trigger a sense of failure and shame. If we aren’t feeling happy something must be wrong, there must be something we need to fix. This is apparent almost everywhere. Increasingly we are being sold an incredibly narrow picture of the “ideal” way to live. Social media, the internet, magazines and ads are selling us the same story. It tells us we are not enough. That we need to be prettier, more successful, happier. We need to buy more and we need to be more.

But this picture we are being sold is not the truth and it is diminishing our ability to be with and accept the full spectrum and beauty of our feelings.

Over the past few years, the conversation surrounding weight and body image has begun to change and challenge the way we have historically measured beauty and worth. Until now we have been fed a similarly limited narrative about what it means to live a happy life and how we should be living as human beings. We need to challenge this narrative that tells us if we aren’t happy all of the time, then we are somehow “doing” life wrong.

In this episode, I explore how to radically love and accept yourself so that you can allow and BE with all of your feelings without shame or judgement.

Highlights

• How being with your feelings and releasing judgement is the key to healing.
  
• How to feed your mind, body and soul with nourishing experiences, connection and joy.
  
• Why your rock bottom moments can serve as your greatest teachers and help you heal and grow.
  
• How to get off the hamster wheel of self-doubt and step into your power.
  
• What steps you can take to accept yourself completely and wholly in this present moment.
  

Thank you so much for listening to this episode, I am so grateful that you are committed to doing the work of maturation alongside me. You are allowed to have low moments, and you deserve to FEEL it all, without judging yourself or telling yourself that these feelings are bad or wrong.

When we are able to give it to ourselves, our radical self-love is what heals us when we are willing to give it to ourselves.

I would be so grateful if you could leave a review on iTunes and we can share this message of healing and wholeness with as many people as possible.

Love,
