How Self-care Can Magnetize You

Are you naturally drawn to positive, confident people? The answer is usually yes, because we generally attracted to people that exude that kind of energy. And what exactly is that energy?

I would describe it as someone who feels a level of confidence in themselves, who has a certain degree of self-awareness, and seems to understand that they can manage most things that come their way.

When you treat yourself well by attending to the needs of your mind, your body, your emotions, and do what you need to keep your energy up, without being a fake about how you really feel, or expect that you “have it altogether”, that, in itself is an accomplishment. It can mean that you’ve likely taking time to listen to what your needs are, and have become somewhat self-reliant or resourceful in meeting them yourself, most of the time.

Your self-care becomes magnetizing to people because when you care about yourself, you really do get to know who you are, how you really feel about many things, and you come to value and respect yourself, your talents, and what you have accomplished in your life’s journey, no matter what age or stage of life you are in. Here are some things you can do to bring your own energy up to become more “magnetic”:

  • Be Interested in your own self-exploration and personal growth

  • Be clear about your needs and your personal boundaries

  • Be interested to attempt learning new things even if you’re nervous

  • Being authentic, real, and honest about how you feel

  • Get help to heal any traumas or hurts in your life

  • Take responsibility for your mistakes and honor your successes

  • Be able to express your vulnerability

  • Develop your sense of humour

  • Be sincere, interested, and supportive to other people

  • Cultivate supportive friendships

  • Be able to be present in the moment to better listen and be empathic to others

  • Be able to hear your own intuition, your inner guidance, and follow your own pathway, even if no one is in agreement with you

  • Pay attention to your spiritual and creative expressions, as they are inter-connected

You may not often think of this, but every day we are showing people how to treat us by how well we treat ourselves. Our own attitudes about what we really think and feel about ourselves, our level of self-regard – always shows up, one way or another, and does not go unnoticed by others. That is why our own sense of self-worth and personal value, matters enormously.

People will pick up our respect for ourselves and usually will offer a degree of that level of self-regard back to us. I say this because we are living in a “reflective universe”, in that most often, what we put out to others, we get back.

Your conscious loving care for yourself is often also a healing journey, because practicing self-care asks that we be truthful about who we are, and what we have come through, which can mean you’ve also probably made meaningful efforts to face and heal what has hurt or even traumatized you.

And here’s the thing, as you face one challenge after another and get through it, you gain confidence and self-trust, a deeper faith in yourself, and a sense of optimism and hope and that allows other people to trust you, and feel hopeful themselves. You end up inspiring people around you, because – your optimism and inspirational attitude, energizes you and everyone around you.

And it is magnetizing, because you are sharing your sense of independency and self-assuredness – and being sure of yourself to any degree, in a world that is currently very uncertain, ever-changing and somewhat chaotic, is a quality generally admired.

Conclusion:

Your self-care practices will not only create a sustaining positive energy within you, that energy will gently flow out from you, and connect with those who come around you. Your mind-set of self-care or self-love, will help magnetize, or draw to you, much more of what you want in your life, not what you don’t want.
