Yes, I had to remind myself to do this. Loving self isn’t easy, and many times we just go through life putting everything and everyone above this action. What does it mean to love self? It means accepting all of who we are. It means taking time to take a personal assessment of our life and getting to the soul of the matter of our self-doubts, and self-sabotaging/destructing habits, so that we can stop repeating them. We have to learn to love self regardless of the opinion of others. We have to learn to be okay with us, with all of our being. It’s hard work. I think it’s harder to have a relationship with self, than it is to have a relationship with someone else, because we have to deal with the cold, hard truths about ourselves, even if they’re ugly and we don’t want to see or acknowledge them.
2. Love Yourself and Keep It Moving
Love requires us to be truthful with ourselves, about ourselves (all of who we are). If we cannot do this, we cannot be truthful with others and the lies and the hurt becomes a vicious cycle, because hurt people, hurt people. Sadly, at an early age, we were taught to hate others and ourselves. We were taught, that certain behaviors were bad, and because others or we engaged in some of these behaviors, we are bad and don’t deserve love or kindness. This then allowed us to create an internal war that is projected externally upon all we meet.
Loving ourselves is so much deeper than just saying, "I love me!" Let's learn to acknowledge our truths and be happy with all of who we are, the good, the bad, and the ugly. There are positives and negatives in this world, and they are all needed to solve problems and create harmony.
Let's be kind to ourselves and the world. Love you and keep it moving...
