Actions of Love
Introduction
Myrna, a 38-year-old successful physician, approached me feeling inadequate despite her professional achievements. While she valued herself as a doctor, she struggled to see her worth in personal relationships with friends and family. Additionally, though she desired a loving relationship, she hesitated to meet new people.
Discovering the Root of the Issue
Through our sessions, it became evident that Myrna seldom took loving actions for herself, especially concerning her relationships. For instance, her friend Jessica would often express anger and blame Myrna for missing dinner plans. Despite being exhausted from work, Myrna would feel guilty and obliged to meet Jessica, only to end up feeling drained and depressed afterward. This pattern revealed a lack of self-care.
Myrna realized her fear of relationships stemmed from not knowing how to care for herself around others. If she couldn’t assert herself with Jessica, how could she do so with a potential partner? She understood that her loneliness, anxiety, and feelings of inadequacy would persist unless she learned to prioritize herself.
Understanding Loving Actions
Many people experience anxiety, depression, stress, and feelings of guilt or shame due to a lack of self-love. Loving actions can be divided into two categories: actions for oneself and actions in relationships with others.
Loving Actions for Yourself
Taking loving actions for yourself means addressing your own needs and valuing your importance. Ignoring these needs can lead to depression and inadequacy. Here are some examples:
- Health and Nutrition: Eat nutritious foods, avoid junk food, and listen to your hunger cues.
- Physical Activity: Ensure regular exercise.
- Environment: Keep your surroundings clean and organized.
- Rest: Get adequate sleep.
- Work-Life Balance: Maintain time for work, relaxation, reflection, play, and creativity.
- Support System: Cultivate relationships with supportive people.
- Time Management: Be organized and punctual, and meet obligations on time.
- Self-Compassion: Choose kindness over self-criticism.
- Personal Boundaries: Balance time for yourself with time for others.
- Safety: Follow safety measures, like wearing seat belts and helmets.
Loving Actions in Relationships
Loving actions in relationships involve maintaining integrity while being compassionate towards others. Here are some key aspects:
- Kindness: Show compassion without ignoring your needs.
- Assertiveness: Say “no” or “yes” based on your true feelings.
- Boundaries: Care for your needs instead of trying to control others. Accept them as they are.
- Truthfulness: Communicate your boundaries and act accordingly.
- Personal Responsibility: Own your feelings and needs, and avoid blaming others.
- Balance: Foster a reciprocal relationship, balancing giving and receiving.
Myrna's Transformation
By learning to care for herself both individually and in relationships, Myrna no longer felt depressed or inadequate. She gradually overcame her fear of relationships and began meeting new people, opening the door to potential partnerships.
In conclusion, embracing loving actions can lead to personal growth and improved relationships, transforming feelings of inadequacy into empowerment and fulfillment.
