February is the hot-seat of the LOVE theme...and I'm here to nudge you to let ALL your love start with YOU!
Many of us - me included - have spent much of our lives focusing on receiving other people's approval. We go to huge lengths to hear words, see smiles, and welcome invitations that we measure as acceptance. Only something falls flat. Even with what we value as the love of others, something is often missing.
Here's the thing: most of us think it's JUST us...as in ONLY you could possibly know this feeling. ONLY you are JUST like the rest of us! We ALL experience moments of seeking love and acceptance - we want to belong, we want to find happiness, and we want to feel love.
This is where self-love steps in! While others may see, value, and love us, why is it so challenging for us to see, value, and love ourselves...just as we are? Instead, we give away our Love Power to other people, providing them with the influence to determine our 'love-ability.'
So, we spend most of our time thinking ONLY someone or something else can give us love...when in truth ONLY we can give love to ourselves. We possess our own Love Power! To be truly fulfilled in all aspects of life requires you to explore, discover, and claim love WITHIN you FOR you! Then, it's up to you to honour your self-love. No other person, material possession, or accomplishment can do it. It's up to you.
Sound easy? Have you done it yet?? Here are three tips for love to start with YOU:
What is your relationship with self-love? How comfortable are you with self-love? What resistance do you have to loving yourself? Be honest about your relationship to yourself. If you weren't encouraged or taught to love yourself, didn't witness many self-love role models; and/or find it easier to be hard on yourself than kind, self-love can be tricky. Being truthful about self-love can blossom your ability to love yourself more authentically.
What are your conditions? Even when you sense self-love, you may require it to meet certain conditions. It's as if you'll only love yourself when you do good things, succeed in specific ways, or take care of yourself in 'acceptable' ways. Truly loving yourself is an unconditional process - accepting, appreciating, and celebrating ALL of who you are. By letting go of your conditions, you deepen your genuine self-love.
When will you start loving yourself? Start practicing right now...not after you think you 'deserve' it. We all 'deserve' love - including YOU - so get on it! Take self-loving action in big and/or small ways: speak kindly about yourself, accept compliments graciously, take care of your body, honour your emotions, pamper yourself, and celebrate your successes. Loving yourself is a lifelong, never-ending practice - embrace it!
Self-love may seem easier to talk about than it is to actually live. However, when you love yourself authentically, everything you value in life flows with a sense of ease, joy, and most importantly, love. Your Love Starts with YOU! So...What is your own 'love-ability?'
