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…..
It is essential to be kind to yourself, especially during tough times. The saying that relationships are determined during tough times is true. However, the rough times also show your relationship with yourself as well. Are you kind to yourself or compassionate with yourself? Are you gentle or nourishing with yourself during tough times and difficult times? Being kind to yourself during difficult times makes those a bit easier to deal with – and actually makes those horrible times…..
We are now entering the holiday season for many of us. Perhaps it is time to do holidays differently since they consistently do two things. They stress out – with all the planning, shopping, cooking, traveling, and trying to keep everyone happy, which is frankly impossible, yet we try. They stress us out. We allow people to step over our boundaries. I don’t care how strong you are – you will end up doing something you really don’t want to…..
You Make Decisions For Yourself. When you are working on returning to self-love, there will come the point when you understand that you cannot decide for another person. Most of us like to give our opinion or judgment o what people should be doing. But if you are in self-love, you know you have no right to tell someone what to do. It is their decsion. Each person is on their own journey – on their own path. Any rock…..
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…..
What you see is what you get. Let’s start with the idea of allowing more love into your life. What if you allowed more images of love to permeate your vision? Love is not just one person to another but what you focus on with your attention and physical eyes. So if you only saw beauty or love, the lower energies would not only not be registered by your mind, but they would have little or no impact on you. Your…..
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,…..
Don’t Believe Your Negative Ego. We all have a negative ego. Unfortunately, it is never our friend. It always lies and tells you it is the other person’s fault. They are the ones to blame. You did nothing wrong, and they must be punished for hurting you. Don’t believe your negative ego. It will take you away from the inner work you need to do to change and evolve. Stop looking for someone to give you what you need. When…..
What is an inner committee? When working on returning to self-love, you must look at and transmute your inner committee. What do I mean by inner committee? We all have an inner committee that we listen to consciously or unconsciously. It is the inner voices that can play non-stop, and unfortunately, they are usually very negative. So, it would help if you changed the inner voices – the negative ones – with the opposing voices. Let’s look at one we all…..
Reawaken your jubilance Your homework for this week is to reconnect to your jubilance. To reexperience rejoiceful and triumphant emotions and to express these emotions. The trick is to express the emotions – not just move past them like my friend did and move back into worry. Or, like me – do not squelch them down to give yourself a false sense of safety. Do not squech your jubilance I squelched my jubilant feelings down to keep my sister away from…..
