It’s Time for a Love Affair!
Do you know how wonderful you are? Utterly and completely beautiful, talented and incredible inside and out! Yes, I’m talking to you! At your very core you are love, light and joy and you were created to be sharing your love, light and joy with the world. I know this can be difficult and confusing to do and if you are met with resistance and rejection often enough you begin to lose your connection to your inner love and light.
This loss of connection is, in my opinion, the main contributor to the increasing exhaustion, depression and snarkiness that I see in our society. Working so hard to give your love and light to others – care-giving, volunteering, being responsible for everyone and everything – can give you a feeling of value and worthiness but somehow, this feeling never seems to last and so you are compelled to work harder, do more and give in greater amounts. Can you see how this becomes unsustainable? I’d like to suggest another way.
Have a love affair!
With yourself!
Working harder, doing more and giving in greater amounts can’t happen if you are operating on an empty energy tank. Love is the fuel that fills your energy tank and looking to others to fill your tank can be hit and miss. If you want to be able to do your meaningful work in the world, you need a consistent and plentiful source of energy. Love is that energy and you can keep your tank filled by loving yourself.
I’m not talking about a narcissistic, egotist, “it’s all about me all the time” kind of love affair. I’m talking about treating yourself gently, speaking kindly to yourself, giving yourself breaks and small, heart nourishing treats. Care for yourself like a most precious object, like you would a tender new baby or the smallest of animals. Treat yourself with love and the world will become a much better place without you having to exhaust yours elf with working to change it! This month use all the Valentine’s Day promotions and marketing to remind you to love yourself and by the end of the month, you will have more energy, love and light to share with the rest of us!
Love,
Deb
