Categoría: Self-Love

Learning to love ourselves is our eternal task and I believe the main reason we reincarnate in this world. If we do not learn to love ourselves in a healthy way, we will hardly have a healthy relationship with other human beings and nature. Self-love is a very broad concept that includes many psychological constructs such as self- esteem, self-compassion and self-acceptance; it means taking care of our self at a physical, spiritual, and emotional level.  Self-Love is an endless job, but the good news is that the more you work on it, the better you feel and the better life gets!

Becoming aware of the erroneous ideas about self-love and love for others:

Learning how to love our self is a topic we are hardly educated at schools, much less at work and other institutions in society. It is the reason why we still find some groups in society that encourage people to endure unnecessary pain or suffering on the self to obtain something good in life or to go to heaven. There are also groups that still erroneously explain that great spiritual teachers, like Jesus Christ, purposefully gave upon their body out of “love” and to “save” us from our sins.

Instead, we should be educated with the idea that the real message of the great spiritual teachers in history is love and compassion, and if they lost their lives in a cruel way is because they were actually assassinated by a group of people who did not know how to love themselves and others. Everybody has the power to save themselves in this life, let’s use that power. We have the power to save ourselves and others by loving ourselves. Creating and believing unhealthy statements only damage our true nature and ability to love our own self and evolve in a healthy way.

Common mistakes we make in life when we don’t love ourselves:

1. We deny and ignore our gifts and talents. We tend to hold on the erroneous idea that we have to do and be what others want us to be or become.
2. We go into life choosing professions and making relationships that do not fulfill us. We tend to choose friends that reflect our own fears and insecurities.
3. Creating relationships with the idea that others have to love us and makes us happy before we become happy and love ourselves.

Practice self-love:

There is power in self-love. We, as Children or Lambs of God-the Divine Intelligence, have the essence of pure Love in our hearts and spirit; and as such, we are capable of creating great things for ourselves and others. But first, we need to take of ourselves physically, mentally, and spiritually.

• Honor your true self and calling by doing the things that bring you joy and positive energy every day. Practicing these habits have brought more health, creativity, and joy to my life.
• Remember to be kind to yourself in the good and bad times. Use loving, happy, self-soothing and compassionate words with yourself. Check the words you say to yourself when you make a mistake or things do not go the way you want. Changing the way I talk to myself has improved my health mentally, spiritually and physically.
• Love your body, it is the vehicle that accompanies you in this life-time. Practice your favorite sport, get a massage, a facial and eat healthy, natural, organic food.
• Get to know your Spirit by practicing meditation, doing the things you love to do. Remember you are a spirit having a human experience, take care of that spirit that will be with you forever.
• No one is perfect, unconditionally give love to yourself when you fall in an old pattern of not loving yourself.

Loving you unconditionally!!
