The Art of Loving Yourself

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9)These lines are taken from the Bible where God reminds Joshua of his presence during scary and difficult transitions.I have used these lines to give you the strength and courage that you need to embrace loneliness with no fear and move forward with life while transitioning smoothly.This brings me to the underlying purpose of this e-Book: to help you understand abusive relationships that many individuals tend to put up with because of low self-esteem and self-confidence because of the fear of loneliness. They assume that they will be left alone and lonely if they let go of the person that they are with and trying to find happiness in them, even when they can't.To enjoy a healthy relationship, both partners need to nurture it with love, respect, and care. Also, it has to be mutual. You can't let the other person in the relationship abuse, disrespect and belittle you, and take you for granted. If, unfortunately, you are in such a relationship, then it's best to part ways and let loneliness become your soul mate rather than losing your soul and yourself for someone who doesn't value you in their life.In this e-Book, I'll walk through your transition, ensuring that you move forward with positivity and hope. I will start by explaining what an abusive relationship is and how to identify that you are in one. I'll share with you different types of abuse in a relationship and when you need to let go.More importantly, I will also show you how loneliness which you might fear now can become your soul mate and help you rediscover the lost you. I will teach you tips and tricks on how to cope with loneliness and become your own best friend forever.Once you break up and put an end to an abusive relationship that you've been in for years, you can feel void in the beginning. But in actual this is the best time to learn about yourself, and understand what you want in life and what will make you happy. It's time that you learn to be glad instead of finding your inner-happiness in someone else. Loneliness is perhaps the best time for self-actualization. You may think that there is nothing to look forward to in life, but when you rediscover yourself; you realize that there is a whole life ahead of you. With this great pain, the catalyst for embarking on a journey towards personal development, maturation, and self-actualization can emerge. That is, becoming the person you were meant to be."Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand" (Isaiah 41:10).By the end of this e-Book, you'll learn how to confront an abusive relationship, break off from it, and make loneliness your soul mate all much needed to find yourself that you have lost in the quest of finding your happiness in someone else. You don't need anybody to be happy; you can be happy and satisfied with life even when you're alone.
