Love is complicated. It's chaotic, confusing, at times euphoric and at other times, it can feel harsh. Many people believe that they have no control over who they fall in love with. We are often attracted to people to deal with unresolved emotional issues we may not even be consciously aware of. If you find yourself having to turn yourself into a pretzel to earn or keep the love of someone else, you are having to try too hard. Chances are you don’t feel loved for who you are or free to express yourself fully.
When you invest your energy in loving yourself more, you are collecting the energy you have been dissipating and finally taking care of your own core needs. By healing yourself, you are opening the door to deeper, healthier relationships, starting with you. As you appreciate, trust and honor yourself more, don’t be surprised if others who appreciate you for who you are will cross your path too. That becomes a new criteria, and you won’t settle for anything less.
