Hello, my radiant souls, and welcome back to another episode of Unleash your Inner Radiance. I am Lisa Dorn, your life and transformation coach, real estate agent here in the state of Minnesota and international author, which I just became this last summer. If last week's episode on letting go of guilt, overcoming self-sabotage and building resilience spoke to you, then today's episode is going to take things to an even deeper level. We're talking about self-love true, deep, unwavering self-love and how we can transform our past pain into resilience and radiance. Plus, I have something very special for you this month. I want you to give yourself the gift of transformation this February. I have a digital course. It's called Resilient Radiance Transforming Anger, resentment and Self-Hate into Self-Love. This course is designed to help you heal, grow and step into the most radiant version of yourself, and I have an exclusive offer just for you. So stay with me, because this episode is about to be a game changer Understanding and cultivating self-love.

Speaker 1: 2:03

Let's start with this question how much do you truly love yourself? Not on the surface level I like I take care of myself but way, way deep down. Do you speak kindly to yourself? Do you honor your needs without guilt? Do you believe that you are worthy of love and success, just as you are. You see, too many of us have been conditioned to believe that self-love is selfish, self-love is selfish. But here's the truth Self-love is your foundation. It's the key to living a life that feels truly aligned, fulfilled and joyful. And who doesn't want a life that is more aligned? And it just you have such inner peace and inner joy that you're just literally grateful for everything. So I want to step back and take a little bit of look, of a look of what this looks like, what self-love actually looks like to us, because I don't think that everybody really realizes what kind of boundaries you need to set, because you can set these boundaries without guilt. It's good to have boundaries with people, because if you don't have boundaries, you don't really love yourself that much do you? How do you speak to yourself? Because do you speak to yourself like you would speak to a friend. Do you speak to yourself with the kindness and the gentleness that you would speak to a friend? Do you allow yourself to rest without feeling lazy?

Speaker 1: 4:35

Now, that is one that I have a problem with, because I feel like I always have to be doing something and to me, sitting and watching TV or just having a lazy day just feels a lot like I am not doing anything. But how I'm looking at this is, if I allowed myself, without feeling lazy, that would be self-love to me, and I want us all to look at it that way, because a lot of us, who are whatever personality I am, always needs to be busy or always needs to be doing something, and that is just a problem sometimes. So we want to accept our imperfections, but we also want to strive for growth. So if I were to sit on a chair and read a book, that would be a little bit different, right? But what kind of book am I reading? Am I reading a book that's making me better, or am I just reading a book because it's a good book, right? So what I want you guys to do is I want you to recognize that you are worthy just because you exist. Because you exist. So when you think that you should be doing something else, step back and go. Does my body just feel like it needs to rest right now? Because if it does, that's self-love to me.

Speaker 1: 6:21

Self-love isn't something that you achieve, and you definitely don't achieve it overnight. It's an ongoing practice and, just like any other practice, the more you do it, the stronger it becomes. So, when you set your boundaries and you talk to yourself with kindness and you allow yourself to rest and you accept your imperfections, all of this is going to build your self-confidence and build your self-worth and it's going to make you love yourself more, more. So just keep practicing it, because the more you practice it, the stronger it becomes. And you have to love yourself truly. Love yourself before you can love somebody else. So if you want to deepen that relationship, take this course, because it will help you do it. You know, a lot of times we need to break free from self-hate and then we need to take that pain and we need to transform it away. We need to transform that pain into radiance, into peace, into internal joy. So let's get real now.

Speaker 1: 7:59

Many of us have experienced deep pain, some of us deeper than others, and some of us it took us to a really dark, dark place. You know we've been betrayed, abandoned, criticized, made to feel unworthy. But do you know that self-worth comes from internal, it comes from you. So why not take February to give yourself something special so that you can love yourself more deeply? Make us feel unworthy and they abandon us and they criticize us. We internalize those wounds and they could be wounds from when you were 8, 5, 13, 17. And we start to believe that we deserve to feel broken. We start to believe that we deserve to be the victim. We start to believe that we don't deserve joy and peace in our life. And from that we hold on to anger, we hold on to resentment and shame because we don't know how to release it.

Speaker 1: 9:25

And my course will teach you how to dig deep and release it. But here's the truth your pain does not define who you are, does not define who you are, even though at times it really truly does feel like it. Your past does not dictate your future. That is why I created Resilient Radiance. It's a course that transforms anger, resentment and self-hate into self-love, because in this course, we dive deep into the myths surrounding forgiveness, healing past hurts and embracing the freedom that comes with letting go, and, trust me, that freedom is such a joy.

Speaker 1: 10:24

This course isn't just about learning. It's about becoming Becoming the version of yourself who is free, empowered and radiant. So inside this course, you'll learn the truth about forgiveness and why it is essential for your self-being. Now, this could be forgiving somebody else, but it also could be forgiving yourself, and that is the deepest self-love. It will teach you to develop tools to process and release anger in a really healthy way, because a lot of times if you think about how you react to somebody or some instance and you stand back and go, wow, where did that come from? That came from somewhere deep down inside of you. Some hurt when you were 4, 5, 9, 18. It doesn't matter, but learn how to release it in a really healthy way and then you get to rewire this negative self-talk that has kept you stuck in the cycles of self-hate. How many people are stuck in that cycle where you just think, oh my gosh, I just do not like myself, and you just think all these things about yourself, or you speak them in your head and you would never speak to them, to your friends like that.

Speaker 1: 12:00

I want you guys to step into a space of self-compassion and confidence and for the month of February, I want you to say yes to yourself and invest in your own healing. Give yourself this gift because you are worthy of it. You see, the power of letting go and living fully is a gift that you should give yourself, because letting go is one of the hardest but most liberating things you can do, because we often hold on to resentment and grudges because we think they'll protect us, but in reality it keeps us trapped in the past. It keeps us in victim mode. It keeps us trapped in the past. It keeps us in victim mode and, trust me, I held on to anger and resentment for 10 long years and I, you know, even now I do catch myself and I do see myself going back there, but I'm learning how to stop it, because I want you guys to think about this.

Speaker 1: 13:35

What are you still holding on to that is keeping you from fully loving yourself? What is it? Take my course and let's bring it out, because maybe it's an old story that you cannot seem to forgive yourself for. Maybe it's someone else's voice in your head telling you that you are unworthy Because it's got to be somebody else's voice, because we certainly don't want to be telling ourselves that. But here's the secret you have the power to rewrite your story. You have the power to choose self-love over self-hate, to choose healing over resentment, to choose healing over anger. So today, I challenge you to start letting go, to take one small step towards forgiveness and choose yourself. Choose yourself because you deserve it. And if you need guidance on this journey, I invite you to join Resilient Radiance and start your transformation today.

Speaker 1: 15:16

I'm going to do a challenge before we wrap up, because I want to leave you with a challenge Probably a little bit of a vulnerable one, but that's okay. I want you to look at yourself in the mirror today and say out loud I am worthy of love, I forgive myself, I choose to love myself fully. I want you to look at yourself in the mirror. I want you to look eye to eye and trust me, this is going to seem like the most oddest thing to do and it's hard to look yourself in the eye and say I am worthy of love, I forgive myself, I choose to love myself fully. I want you to do this every single day for seven days and, trust me, at the end of the seven days it'll be a lot easier. The first couple of days. It might feel uncomfortable at first and it definitely is going to feel silly, but I promise you, the way you speak to yourself matters, and if you are ready to go deeper, take the next step and give yourself Resilient Radiance the course, my digital course, and let February be the month you commit to loving yourself like you never have before.
