Loving Yourself

One of the hardest things we can aim for in this life is self love. Many people are afraid to show love, kindness, care, and compassion to themselves because they feel it will turn them into an egotistical or careless individual. The truth is, however, that in order for us to love other and care for them fully, we must first learn to love ourselves.

Self love comes in many important forms...

• Ensuring our physical health is good
• Ensuring our mental and emotional health is good
• Honoring our need to care for our spirit
• Taking rests and breaks when needed
• Being willing to let others help us, and asking for that help when we need it
• Making positive changes in our life
• Creating healthy boundaries for ourselves
• Taking time to gift ourselves and reward a job well done

Many of us get caught up in thinking that to give to ourselves is to deprive others of good things. We forget that if we are not in a state of health, balance, and empowerment, we simply will not be strong enough or resourceful enough to do even the smallest thing for another person!

When you feel tired, stressed out, burned out, or just plain listless, it's a good sign that you need to take the time to show yourself some loving kindness. You can go as far as a massage and a treat or go as simple as making sure you eat great meals for the next few days to fuel your body and mind. No matter what you do, know that by caring for yourself will ultimately enable you to care for those you love.

Simple Ways To Love Yourself

We hear a lot of talk about how to love other people, but how are we supposed to give love to others if we are unable to give it to ourselves? For those who want to be a true force for love in the world, learning to love ourselves if one of the most powerful things we can do. When we love ourselves in the right way, we connect directly to the pure source of love so that it becomes easier for us to channel them into the lives of others.

In order to create more love in your life, there are some simple things that you can do. These things may seem unrelated to self-love, but they actually speak volumes to your heart and mind. When you put time and energy into taking positive action for you, it changes the way you see yourself and the way you connect yourself to the world. Here are a few things you can do to help create more positive self love in your life...

• Reward yourself in kind ways for good things done
• Take time to make sure your health is in good repair
• Give yourself breaks and rests as needed
• See your well-being as important to everyone
• Honor your own feelings and speak your truth
• Spend time with people who make you feel great, and avoid those who detract from your life

See how easy that is? Self love is really just about taking time to make sure that you are okay before you try and make everyone else okay. When you make sure that you have what you need - you are much better are helping other people get the same for themselves.

As Valentine's Day approaches, consider doing something beautiful for yourself!

The Power Of Love

The season of love is upon us, and there are more opportunities now than ever to look at the real power of love and see just what a blessing it can be in our lives. Love is a universal force that creates healing, joy, and progress when we experience it. It is at once subtle and natural, and also powerful and intense! Love goes into the deepest part of our beings and creates the most profound changes we can imagine.

Although we tend to focus on love a lot during the time of valentine's Day, it's there all the time. Love is what allows us to connect to the people in our lives we hold dear, and it helps us grow and adapt as a unit.

No matter who we are, what our history is, where we come from, or where we're going, love is real for all of us. Everyone seeks out this most precious of emotions, and when we have it we work hard to keep it in place.

When we give love, we connect to the world around it and all of the people who make it up in a truly deep and profound way. In order to give love, we have to open up our hearts which means we also let love in.

As the special love-themed holiday approaches, try thinking about love with a new perspective... you may be surprised at just how deeply it goes!

happy Valentine's Day!
