Default You Don't HAVE To Love Yourself!

Hi everyone

Something occured to me this afternoon:

I've read and heard for years that I should "love myself". And it always felt really difficult and awkward and uncomfortable, and even "wafty" : ). And I didn't know how to "love myself"......

But for the last month or so, I've turned my life around through raising my Self Esteem and loving myself....

But, this is different! And this afternoon I realised why: We don't have to "love ourselves" - we ALREADY love ourselves. What we want to do, is NOTICE and RECOGNISE that we love ourselves - and how much! And the more we notice and recognise how much we love ourselves, the more the expression of that love INCREASES - and the more noticable it becomes.

It struck me that throughout our lives, we've developed blocks against the love we have for ourselves. So, although the love is there, and it always has been, we block it out. We've been taught to deny it, to hide it, and we fail to recognise it. So we create diversions from it.

So, it's so much easier than actively trying to love yourself. All you have to do is recognise that you already do. Deep deep down inside. You were born with love for yourself. And the evidence is in every good thing in your life. Every good thing that happens - no matter how small - is evidence you already love yourself (since you create and attract these good things ). And as you start to recognise that, each time you recognise it, you open the block a little. Each time you recognise it, you feel the warm fuzzy tingle that will raise your vibrations, and expand your energy, and open the block more each time. And it picks up momentum as you go ; ) And your memory of your love for yourself will begin to come back : )

Hope this is as powerful for someone else as it has been for me

Love and light and fabulousness xxx
