I’ve been thinking a lot about self-love and what that means. I have come to the conclusion that the biggest way we reject ourselves is energetically. Scan your body right now. Are you allowing the energy to flow or are you resisting at your stomach, heart or throat?
When we push back on our essence, we push back on God or Life. How can we know that God loves us if we reject Him/Her?
Body image has been in the forefront of my mind because that has been the biggest area of self-rejection for me. The other day I was at the pool with my daughter and nephews when two young, beautiful teenage girls came down. Fit, thin, and healthy – I thought to myself, “I hope they love themselves.” And I had to keep myself from saying out loud – “I hope you two know how darling you are…”
Within minutes one of them started talking about her waste, and the fact that sometimes she’s a size two and other times a four… My heart broke – even 16 year old beauties reject themselves.
As each of us fall in love with ourselves – unconditionally – we pave the way for others to do the same. I’m having more moments of self love lately… But it takes constant awareness. Because I know how connected we are – this is a social issue for me, as well as a personal one. I want to be a role model for self love – now that’s a concept…
