What’s Your Path to Self Love?

 

“You must love yourself before you love another. By accepting yourself and fully being who you are…your simple presence can make others happy.” - Jane Roberts

 I love myself. It’s been a long, hard, scary journey but I wouldn’t change a single step. Along the twisty, many forked road. I’ve lost myself and found myself, over and over again. I’ve also loved and won and loved and lost on many occasions. Right now, I’m lucky enough to be loved in ways I never would have believed possible.

What I love about myself is that I’m learning to let go of my judgment about what is right, wrong, should, or has to be. I accept myself as a human being, knowing that every attribute and flaw have combined to make me who I am.

I love giving myself the same compassion I show others. Doing the little things that feed me. Celebrating my successes and finding the learning in challenges. Letting go of my attachment to outcomes and being with each step of the journey.

We each have our own path to self love. The first step is choosing to follow that path out of our comfort zone.
