Self-Love

Since the self-help boom in the latter part of the last century, it’s become cliché to talk about the healing power of unconditional self-love. Some believe it to be a miracle cure for all illnesses, and while I wouldn’t go that far, I do believe it is among the greatest forces for psychological healing. It is also my experience that for many if not most of us, a deficit of self-love is one of the core issues that holds us back from realizing the well-being and intentions that are attainable for us. Unconditional love is the primary thing so many of us are seeking too, whether we know that or not, and the most reliable place to find it is within ourselves, as an extension of our divine nature. Even though the healing power of self-love is a cliché concept, my experience is that very few of us have actually tried it, either consistently for a significant period of time or at all.

Whether that’s because loving ourselves seemed hokey, silly, naïve, simplistic, or what, the percentage of the total population that has made a sincere effort to engage in loving, nurturing self-talk and self-care on a daily basis is small. That’s unfortunate because once we get a taste of self-love, it becomes self-evident how mighty it is, even in its infancy. It’s amazingly powerful in helping us decondition ourselves from harmful beliefs, heal from trauma, and establish new beliefs that support our well-being and the realization of our dreams. If you’ve ever seen someone shine with enthusiasm and motivation after receiving a loving pep talk from a friend, you’ve caught a glimpse of this. How much should we love ourselves? One goal could be to see ourselves with the same degree of love that a devoted, supportive, and accepting parent has for their children. Imagine how your life would be if this was how you felt about yourself, informing every action you take and as a filter through which you perceive each experience.

To that end, prioritizing self-love helps us make positive changes in our lives. The more we care for ourselves, the more natural motivation we feel to act on behalf of our well-being. For example, we may find ourselves doing chores that normally irk us because we want to provide ourselves with a comfortable home. Loving ourselves also rallies our innate magic behind whatever healthy intentions we set. We are likely to find ourselves presented with action steps and opportunities in support of those intentions, and availing ourselves of them involves considerably less effort than it would’ve before because self-love helps us release our resistance to realizing our intentions. It is easier to act on behalf of our hopes and dreams when we believe we deserve to have them come true. We start to become so aligned that
