For the next few weeks, i will take excerts from my book and discuss with you until my ebook is ready. The free ebook will be available in 2 weeks or so, but in the meantime, i will give you some excerpts every week to have a sneak peek on what is the book, starting with the power of self love.
Throughout my self discovery path, i have come to a beautiful realisation that self love is actually really the only solution there is. You know we hate ourselves so much for making mistakes in our lives. We are so hard on ourselves, instead of just loving ourselves completely and unconditionally. The word love you self is popular today, people tell you to love yourself and many people actually think they do love themselves but they actually do not.
Moriah Marston of the transformational times wrote that “wishy-washy levels of loving ourselves the way we would “love” a good movie, new outfit or great meal is not the point. We’re required to cherish ourselves the way we love a spouse/lover, child, best friend etc. True love is a vigorous energy that fills the heart and overflows in all directions. Does your heart swell with amazing love that holds you in a sea of unconditional fondness and acceptance regardless of shortcomings? How often do you turn against yourself? How often do we beat ourselves up for something as little as saying the wrong word out to someone?
I used to ask myself, how does self love actually feel? , i have never loved myself so how am i supposed to know how it feels like, how am i supposed to search for soemthing that i have no idea how it feels like? This was just an excuse as well, i know how it feels to love someone because i have loved before, i love my daughter, i love my partner, i love my parents, i love my siblings and i love my friends, so i know exactly how it feels to love someone, i only need to direct those feelings to me. And oh, boy it feels really nice and liberating. How come no one ever taught me this before, i was taught to blame myself for mistakes and then maybe i wont make them anymore, but the more i blamed myself for my mistakes, the more i hated myself and the more i make the mistakes, and the never ending cycle continues.
Nowdays however, i have learned and i continue learning to love myself, my flaws, my mistakes, and everything about me, i love. Just the way i love the people in my life with their flaws and their mistakes. I challenge you today to love yourself, commit to at least 30 days self love challenge, when you direct the feelings you feel about your loved ones to yourself. you will be surprised that self love is actually the only solution to every problem. it is not easy however loving yourself, it will look like you jsut cant do it but do it anyways, and you will be pleased at the end of the 30 days challenge that you will have no chocie but do another 30 day and another , until you do it for a lifetime.
Louise Hay in her book “Heal Your Life said self-love is not vanity or arrogance or being stuck up, this is just fear. Self-love is a great respect for ourselves and a gratitude for the miracle of our minds and bodies and unless we love ourselves, we will continue to experience one problem after another, because the solution to all problems is a return to love, to loving ourselves. When i love myself, i am able to love the people around me more, i thought it will mean that i love the people around me less and i become self fish, no, actually it means i love the people even more becasue we can only love someone to the level we love ourselves, and that is why the people we love in our lives are also the same people that frustrate us the most because we simply can’t love them more than we love ourselves. At the same time, we can only receive love to the extent that we love ourselves. And that is why we seem to not reciprocate the love of the people who love us most. We always want the people that love to the extent of where our own self- love has ended.
In the next blog, i will talk about the power of forgiveness because i have also learned that to practice self love, forgiveness is an intergral part of it, we need to forgive ourselves first for hating the person we have been, for hating the person we are and living the lives that we never wanted to live.
I live you with the radical self love video, to learn more.
Talk later,
