To become Emotionally Independent the most important thing is to cultivate Self-love. Cultivating Self-love means respecting yourself, your needs and your boundaries even if others don't. And walking away from situations or people that do not serve you.
Step 1
Write a list of things that you love about yourself.
1)What are the things that you love about yourself? Make a list of things that you like about yourself. Make sure you include the things that you are interested in like your hobbies and your passion. Also note the things that people compliment you on.
2)What are the things that you are proud of? Write about all the things that are unique about you. Things that come naturally to you. That makes you special. Always remember that we are all unique in a way. And we are all special.
3)Keep it right where you can see it. When your list is complete keep it somewhere you can see it daily. Memorize it. And whenever you feel bad about yourself or that you are going into a negative spiral, take out the list and read it until you feel good about yourself and confident in your skin.
4)Turn your qualities into Affirmations This is an amazing practice. Sometimes we forget how awesome we really are. So to remind yourself and to build your confidence you can turn your list into powerful affirmations. And say it daily. Look in the mirror and say your affirmations.
Step 2 Write a list of things that you don't love about yourself or things that you don't like about yourself.
Also include the things that others don't like about you. People always criticize you for. Be honest and write the list. Now analyze the list thoroughly.
Now pay attention to the things that you don't like. Is it because others don't like that about you or that you are not comfortable with. Sometimes we suppress a quality or a talent we have because others don't approve or appreciate or criticize it. And that's when we lose ourselves.
So take a note of things that others don't like about you but you love it. You are proud of it. You like that about yourself. You don't have to undermine your qualities just because others are not perceptive enough to see it. You are allowed to be yourself. Just as you are.
Filter your Best qualities So make sure to pay attention to the qualities that you love but others don't. Be proud of it. You are different. You were born to be different. It's okay if no one understands you. You are a masterpiece and you are unique in your own way. Find a way to love and nurture these qualities. Love yourself for it. You deserve it. You be you.
Step 3 : Date Yourself
Do the things you Love, for yourself, by yourself.
The more time you spend with yourself, doing the things you love to do, the more you cultivate Self-love. The more you take care of yourself, the more you love yourself. The more you love yourself, the more Emotionally Independent you become.
So make sure to do things you love. Include them in your Routine. Create a powerful self-care routine. Just enjoy yourself. Be with yourself more often. Carve out a specific time in your day to just be with yourself. Make self-care your priority. Make yourself your Priority.
Get out of your comfort zone. Don't cancel plans just because others are not available. Do things alone. Show up for yourself. Be so rooted in yourself that you are comfortable doing things by yourself. Challenge yourself.
