THE MAGIC OF SELF-LOVE
"I celebrate myself and sing myself."
- Walt Whitman
It's called self-love, self-confidence, self-acceptance, self-respect,
self-esteem, self-worth, feeling good about yourself - it's
all the same thing and it feels fantastic. The opposite - doubting
yourself, disliking yourself, feeling ashamed, believing you're
not good enough - that all feels pretty awful.
As a Life Coach, I find that one of the major issues my clients
struggle with is self-love. Oh, they may contact me for other
reasons. They might want to lose weight or to have more money
or to enjoy more fulfilling relationships, but the underlying
issue often turns out to be lack of self-love. When you love yourself,
it's easy to improve relationships because you're capable of giving
love and you can allow others to love you. When you love yourself,
you quit using food to stuff down the pain of low self-esteem
and it becomes easy to manage your weight. When you love yourself,
your vibration is high and you naturally attract money and everything
else you desire.
You were born loving yourself and knowing your value. Due
to pressure from parents, teachers and peers, you may have tried
to become who THEY wanted you to be so they would love you and
you ended up not loving yourself. This is generally followed by
the absurd conclusion that you're not good enough, which results
in spending your entire life trying to prove your worth and trying
to get others to love you. Meanwhile YOU - the perfect extension
of Source Energy YOU - have been hiding your magnificence
and feeling worthless. Aaah!
There is simply no replacement for self-love. If you don't love
yourself, you will be continually disappointed in life. You won't
even see opportunities right in front of you. Your relationships
will be strained. Even if someone else really does love you, you
won't be able to feel it. You can only allow someone else to love
you to the extent that you love yourself. And it is equally true
that you can only love and accept another person to the extent
that you love and accept yourself.
Everyone and everything in your environment is a reflection of
your self-love or lack of it. The good news is that, because everything
comes from you, you don't have to try to "FIX" the outside
world. Everything changes when you "FIX" your inside
world and the best place to start is by choosing to love yourself
more. When you choose self-love, your health improves, you have
more energy and vitality, your relationships become more joyful,
you enjoy greater prosperity, and fabulous opportunities show
up for you everywhere you look. When you love yourself, you
allow the Universe to surprise and delight you.
So how can you choose to love and accept yourself more? Start
by treating yourself like the very special person you are. Start
by doing nice things for yourself, such as:
• Have someone clean your house.
• Take the dream vacation you've been planning.
• Give yourself a pure pleasure day - often!
• Buy yourself a special gift - just because you're YOU!
• Make a list of your positive qualities and read your list
daily.
• Whenever someone gives you a compliment, believe it! Keep
a list of these compliments as evidence of how great you are and
refer to it when you need a reminder.
• Look in the bathroom mirror each morning and say to
yourself: "I LOVE YOU. You are absolutely and eternally wonderful
and worthy of all good things." In fact, if you affirm
this with feeling every time you look in a mirror, your life will
improve immeasurably!
• Finally, make a declaration: "I hereby release
my limiting belief of not being good enough and replace it with
the joy of unconditional self-love."
It's amazing how quickly you can attract what you want when
you love yourself, treat yourself well, and know you're good enough.
With the Magic of Self-Love, you can allow in what you want because
you know you deserve it. As you bask in the Magic of Self-Love,
you will find that you truly CAN Be and Do and Have Whatever You
Desire!
JUST BE IT!!!
