Spirituality is not all about giving to others. It is also about giving to the self. Loving oneself is an emotional and mental issue for a lot of people. Spirituality is all about loving oneself. Until we learn to love & accept ourselves, we cannot really love and accept others. Most people consider the word 'love' in terms of their relationship with someone else. We can't forget the most intimate relationship we have; the one with ourselves. Loving oneself is not about ego or feeling the most important person in the world. It is about being responsible for our happiness and health, so that we can be at our very best for our loved ones and others.
What does it mean to love ourselves?
Accepting the things that I can't change
Working on the things that I can change
Taking care of my body, mind and spirit
Getting my needs met
Setting healthy boundaries
Facing my fears and challenges with empathy
Being responsible for my actions, thoughts and feelings
Practicing self-love, self-care, self-acceptance
Working on my self-esteem
Practicing gratitude & compassion
Balancing the act of giving & receiving
Participating in my own happiness; having fun
Practicing forgiveness; for myself and others
Spending quality time with my loved ones & friends
Reading a good book; educating myself
Meditating; yoga, exercising, walking in nature.
Healthy diet; eating more consciously
knowing that I am enough, do enough and have enough
Knowing when to let go & let god (higher-self or whatever you call it)
Practicing honesty & affirmations
Giving back to the world
Living in my heart & truth
Letting go of judgments, gossiping and lies
Practicing kindness; to myself & others
Having enough sleep & downtime
Having faith; asking for help when I need it
Trusting in myself & life
Keep working on my personal growth
Loving & accepting where I am in my life
Knowing that I'm okay; life is not always easy but it's certainly good.
Watching for 'all or nothing', 'black & white' thinking, & generalization
Don't assume or jump to conclusions
Staying open minded
Staying grounded & standing tall
Being at peace with myself & others
