Strengthen Your Self-Love

Happy Valentine's Day!

I am a big fan of Gabby Bernstein and loved her message this month on how to strengthen your self-love. Self-love is so important on so many levels, but so many of us forget what it means and how to do it. Sometimes it takes the courage to surrender to a power that is greater than ourselves. When we are able to do this, guidance can come and resistance flows away. We tend to be so hard on ourselves, that we don’t give ourselves time to just “be” and let guidance come to us. When we are able to do this, we will be able to love ourselves unconditionally and thus, be able to receive love from others. And isn’t that what we most want out of life? Love and acceptance is key to living a happy and healthy life.

Gabby was so kind to offer her kind words that we can use whenever we are feeling lost in our love for ourselves or why love has eluded us for so long. You can use this as a poem, a prayer, a story or a mantra, but however you recite the following words sit in stillness and let the words settle into your heart and soul and feel the shift.

“I surrender. Today I turn over all the fearful projections that I have placed upon myself. I release all self-doubt and attack today. In this moment, I choose to let it all go. I am willing to be guided to new projections. I am willing to love myself again. Inner guide, please take the steering wheel and show me how to truly surrender my fear so I can wholeheartedly love myself again.” Gabby Bernstein

How do these words make you feel?
