Are You Loving Yourself?

When you fly on a plane they start out by showing you the emergency exits and what to do in the case of an emergency. Parents or guardians with children are instructed to put the air mask on before the child. Why? So that you can be alert and conscious to take care of them. Same with love. If you don't love yourself, you can't love others.

Ever wondered why you have a short temper with certain people? Or why you envy others? Is it possible that you aren't happen with who you are? Or is it possible that you haven't discovered who you are? I've discovered over the years that people who are making others lives miserable often have something deep within that they are not happy about.

Here are a few tips in loving yourself:
1. Develop a relationship with God. In or outside of church. His love is the most powerful and purest and most sincere that we can find on this earth, therefore that is a good start.

2. Be patient with yourself. We are often impatient with our growth or overcoming challenges in our life.

3. Be kind to yourself. Are you treating your body right? Do you go to bed on time or eat healthy? Do you neglect yourself? Do you pamper yourself? How about having a bubble bath and relaxing for 30 minutes? Be kind to yourself, when you mess up ask for forgiveness and move on. Don't re-live it over and over again in your mind. You only deserve to live it once. TODAY, make a list of some things you can do to be kind to yourself. Now pick one of them and do it this week or weekend.

I could say more, but I want you to focus on those 3 things for a while. Let them become a part of you. Discover any blind spots that you may not be aware of and discover how to love yourself a little more.
