Feeling a bit anxious about the New Year resolutions I quietly made to myself and how little progress I've made yet in keeping them, I begin to reflect on thoughts of love. I am reminded that to truly experience love to its fullest extent one must first learn to love yourself. This idea is uncomfortable for many and often reserved for the few people labeled "selfish". Selfishness and self love are not the same though. To love yourself means to treat yourself with the same forgiving nature you would show your most cherished family member or friend. Being kind, patient, tolerant, and firmly rooted in the reality of who you are while being merciful with yourself in your own shortcomings allows you to be better for others too. Happiness is contagious!
Take time this month to learn to love yourself, forgive yourself, and in so doing be a better family member or friend. Appreciate all this month has to offer...get a massage or learn to take care of yourself in different ways...living smarter so you can feel (and look) better today!
Remember you have a purpose, a place, are love able, capable, and open to good things that are coming your way!
