Do You Love Yourself?

Wow! This is a tough one, even though the answer should be a simple, “Yes”! I thought I had come to the point of knowing that I do love myself. Then, the other day, I was watching a video of me receiving a reading, and I just didn’t like watching myself. I didn’t like seeing or hearing me. I felt self conscious and I know I was judging how I looked and how dorky I felt my voice sounded. How easy it was for me to slip back into self judgement.

I know there are classes and therapy sessions that use a tool like video to help people work through their judgements about themselves, but this just put all of my judgements right in my face!

Now I am getting back on my horse and reevaluating how I feel about myself and I will be watching that video over and over again to help me to understand how I feel about myself on a deeper level. I will be looking at myself with an open heart and less judgmental mind. There will also be some sessions standing in front of the mirror and telling myself how much I love Me!

If we can’t love ourselves, then how can we really love anyone else? That has always been a question in the forefront of my mind. I have done guided meditations that were designed to help me to really love myself and I really felt that I had come to a point of that self love. Now that I have realized where I am on this journey, I am open to the fact that I can always love myself more. I have a lot of spirit help around me and I know I am never alone, no matter where my journey takes me.

I hope my experiences can help others on their path to self love!
