Love. El ooo vee eeeeeee
What is love? It’s an intense feeling of deep affection, a variety of strong and positive emotional and mental states.
How often do you hug yourself or look into your own eyes, do you take an internal glance and tell yourself “I love you”? You are so deserving of your love and affection.
I remember being in a psychology class in 2009 and one of the students made a silly comment, giggled and said, “I love me!” This phrase has stuck in my head and daily I ask, how I am cultivating more love for myself? I show myself love by allowing myself to be me, by exposing myself to higher vibrations through music, yoga, dance, nature, friends, food, water, etc. Oh and taking an hour every morning for me. An hour to practice my meditation and give gratitude for my life and all the blessings I have received.
One of my favorite quotes by Buddha says, “You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.”
I want to love you and treat you right... Are words I sing to myself.
How do you cultivate love for yourself?
