My passion for Self-Love runs deep. It has changed and transformed my life in ways I could have never imagined. After learning and practicing and growing in self-love over the past 8 years I wanted to share some revelations about what self-love really is and how it’s the most important thing you can do for you and your family. Here are 7 Truths About Self-Love.

Self-Love is A Spiritual Practice

Yes, self-love is a spiritual practice. It is not about getting your nails done, it is not about buying yourself a new outfit, it has nothing to do with anything material. As a matter of fact the practice of self-love is actually designed to heal you in a way where you are able to detach yourself from all material things in order to stand in and accept yourself as Worthy simply because you are a Child of God. Self-Love is a practice of healing and purging out all toxicity in your being so you become an open channel for God to freely flow through you. The only tools you need to cultivate and practice of self-love is your heart, your mind, your will, your soul and spiritual truth.

Self-Love is a generator of courage and strength

Self-Love will confront and drive out every fear, insecurity, doubt, and lie. It takes courage and strength to face the enemies within you. It takes courage to silence the negative self-talk, to overcome fear, to drive out doubt, to banish insecurity. It takes courage to love yourself. But that’s what Love will do for you, it strengthens the weaknesses that have kept you stuck in a cycle of mediocre living and propels you forward into purpose and destiny.

Self-Love is Transformational

Love is the most powerful energy of all. It’s so powerful that it will transform your entire being. The transformation that you experience when practicing self-love is it will take you from the lower version of yourself to a higher version of yourself, instead of living from your mind or ego, you will begin to experience life from your heart, you will transition from outside in living to living from the inside out. In other words Self-Love will connect you to your real power.

Self-Love Will Reveal Your True Identity

There are two identities that we can potentially experience in our lifetime, the identity that the world gives to you meaning society, ego, peers, parents, friends, career and family, or you can experience living in your true identity which is the identity that God designed for you. Self-love triggers a beautiful journey of self-discovery and leads you on a path where your true identity is revealed. There is no more feeling lost and confused about who you are when self-love is activated.

Self-Love shows you how to love…for real

Self-love is most definitely an unlearning process. What are we unlearning? The conditions that say if you do this or that I will love you, or if you do this you are valuable to me, or if you do this I won’t leave you. These are all conditions or ways of thinking that we feel like we have to do in order to receive love and keep love around. In order to get to what real love is we have to peel back the layers of conditions that have been placed upon us to tap in to true unconditional love. Unconditional Love is the Highest form of love, unconditional love is unwavering true love and self-love is an unlearning process that teaches you how to love and accept yourself unconditionally as well as how to love and accept others unconditionally.

Self-Love Gives To Others

Don’t let anyone convince you that Self love is selfish it’s quite the opposite. In order to give and receive love we have to first become love. If you haven’t been practicing self-love and have been pouring into others more than you’ve been pouring into yourself then there will be a period where you are required to be selfish, meaning you are required to learn how to give to yourself, how to nurture and nourish yourself first, so that you may become selfless in a way where the love within you fills you up and then effortlessly pours out and into the lives of others.

Self-love generates power within you to walk out the calling on your life

It takes courage, strength, trust, and your Authentic Self to walk out your calling. You can’t be someone else and live a life of destiny, it doesn’t work. God has a specific plan and lane for you and in order for you to thrive in that lane you have to let go of fear, you have to rise above your emotions, and embrace your gifts, talents, and difference with confidence. So try on Self- love, experience what it will do for you because love, real love, unconditional love, won’t let you down.
