When you love yourself ...
... you treat yourself as you’d treat someone else you love.
...you see yourself as relevant and respect the being that is you.
... you consider your needs.
... you think you’re wonderful.
... you say and do kind things for yourself.
... you want to hear what you have to say.
... you consider your happiness and health in your choices and actions.
... your heart feels full and open at the thought of yourself.
... you smile when you see yourself in the mirror.
... your eyes light up when you think of yourself.
... you don’t have to do anything specific for you to love yourself.
... how you look and where you fail doesn’t affect your love.
... you accept yourself with all your flaws, and even if you wish for some things to improve, you still love yourself as you are.
... you show up for yourself.
... you trust yourself.
... you’re precious to you.
If you loved yourself like this, what would your life look like?
What choices would you make?
Take a moment to try something right now.
1) Think of a situation or thing that troubles you in your life.
2) Read the above list about self-love again and ask yourself: If I felt about myself the way that list describes, what would I choose to do in this situation or about this thing?
3) Sit still and listen for the answer that rises within you.
