When working on returning to self-love, you are going to begin to use your imagination in a new way. Especially during this tough time, I want you to begin to use your imagination to dream what you want to experience. Now we all are carrying around extra levels of stress and anxiety – being uptight. Take one minute a day and imagine what you want to happen in the near future – with no limits – no rules. Just what…..
When working on returning back to self-love, you are going to have to turn up the volume on your positive inner voices. You need to add a positive inner voice. Let’s say you are hearing your inner critic or your inner judge. You need to turn up your inner cheerleader or your inner champion. You need to turn up the opposite voice from what you are hearing in your head – putting you down – criticizing you – judging you……
Compassion Breeds Compassion. When working on returning to self-love, as I have said before, you are going to have to own your demons. The gift of owning your inner demons is compassion. You see, when you own your inner bully or your inner jealous one, you look back and understand that you behaved that way because of your lack of self-love – Your lack of feeling valuable or that you matter or are worthy of love. Compassion is waiting to…..
Embrace your emotions. When you are working on returning to self-love, you are going to have to get used to your emotions. I have said it before, and I will say it again. What triggers your fear? How does your anger get triggered? What is underneath your anger? Frankly, it is always hurt or frustration. What causes you to be frightened or hurtful or fearful? You are going to have to look at these emotions. You will have to learn…..
When you are working on returning to self-love, you are going to come to a point where you realize that you are never really alone, especially during times of crisis. You are really not walking the path alone. As you learn to do your meditations and connect inwardly, you are going to discover that you have all this help within you. Whether it is yourself or your guides or angels – or whatever you want to call them – you…..
When you are working on returning to self-love, you are going to discover something quite tremendous. You have the power to change yourself. Now, most of us have been taught that people don’t change. But in truth, if you are willing to do the inner work, you can change yourself. I recently was talking to someone who had not been a good father. When I said do it now, they said it is too late. If you still have breath…..
When you are working on finding yourself, you are going to have to become your own best friend. Self-love is about love and learning how to love yourself. Now that doesn’t mean going to the spa or eating well, going to the gym, or setting boundaries. That’s mnt saying that all of these things are not good. They are all very good things to do, but they are not really about loving yourself. Self-love is about learning how to love…..
When working on returning to self-love, you will have to learn to accept yourself. I was recently talking with a group of people- transgender people about the need for acceptance. This group said they don’t feel accepted by other people. I had to remind them that acceptance starts within. It does not matter if others accept you. Because their lack of willingness to accept other people is a sign of them, in truth, lacking in self-love To learn to accept…..
When working on returning to self-love, you must embrace your flaws . When I was younger, I had a speech impediment. I could not say my Ms, Ns, Ps, or Ts. I was literally tongue-tied. Luckily, I had an operation later in life to take care of this issue. But because I had this impediment, I did not speak or read well. That is one of the reasons I loved acting. You could memorize your lines, and my feeling of…..
You can no longer blame others for your decisions when you move back into self-love. Blaming others for making you do something you didn’t want to do – no longer works. You will realize that every decision you have ever made, both in the past and present, was made to make you feel safe. Or perhaps you made them, so you feel loved or give you a sense of peace. It is always your decision. When you are in self-love,…..
