How do you Self-Love?

How can you let more love in?

• Allowing your self to say yes to your needs and desires.
• Protecting your calling and purpose.
• Knowing it’s ok to say no.
• Trusting yourself and your decisions.
• Know that you are sooo lovable and it is an honor to love you.
• Allowing yourself to individuate and be YOU.
• Allowing your self to make mistakes and learn.
• Making time for what’s important to you.

Note any of these resonate with you. Raising awareness in the areas of our lives where we’ve said no to letting love in can be the first step in expanding our capacity to love ourselves and others. It takes time as we are sometimes able to dive in and other times it feels like a stretch to dip our toe in. The secret is to allow a little bit of love in daily where it couldn’t get in before. When we do this we become open to new paths and possibilities for ourselves. Working with a trusted coach or counselor can help as well. Here are the four questions you can ask yourself to help you reflect and understand more about any challenges you may have with allowing more love in. 1. Do I have needs that I am ignoring or denying myself? What are they? 2. Am I allowing myself to suffer in the name of love? How can I balance my own needs with others? 3. What needs to be true in order for me to allow my needs to be met? 4. Who might it be hardest on(living or dead) as my wounds heal and love within me grows? Is there anyone I’m afraid of disappointing?]]>
