How To Obtain Self Love
Is “self love” something we obtain by our actions? We learn at a very young age that what we do and how we act will often dictate the “love” we receive.
Is “self love” something we obtain as an acquisition? We are inundated daily by ads on how to obtain ANYTHING! How is it that so many have yet to have this most essential tool, this true foundation to building anything in life?
In 30+ years of counseling, almost every problematic situation I’ve encountered could have been prevented with “self love”. In my teachings I have found the best formula for learning “self love” combines the following three steps:
The first applies this very simple, but powerful, affirmation:
“I LOVE ME SO YOU CAN”
Written with NO COMMA! You can see that indeed if I didn’t love me (my self), how COULD you?
The next step is to treat yourself as you would treat your best friend. When doing things for yourself do you find yourself skimping? Do you find yourself using selftalk that is condemning? Before doing anything for yourself take a moment to ask “Would I serve – treat – talk to – my “best friend” this way?”
The third step is to clear your life of negativity – especially suggestions – even from friends and loved ones. Refuse to listen to them, refuse to accept them, and then, refuse to continue to poison yourself with any negative thoughts, judgements or emotions you may be harboring.
With strength and determination you will find this formula will last the rest of your life; you will have friends, happiness and harmony!

How to Obtain Self Love
How do you obtain something you already have? Something you already are? Selflove is a gift given to you by God. It can never ever be taken away from you. Obtaining self love is about removing what you are not. CHOOSE to release the anger, the resentment, the selfishness, the self centeredness, the jealousy and all of those things in which you are not from your life. CHOOSE to allow understanding, forgiveness, acceptance, abundance and inner peace which are all qualities of self love to your life. Self love is not an exchange it is not an act of giving or receiving it is an act of being. Right now this moment ask the Holy Spirit to come in to your life to help you and to guide you into surrendering to that which you are not to that which you truly are. The path to self love is paved with the truth, lighted by discovery, and bordered by faith. The journey may be uniquely yours but you will never be on your own. Have faith in yourself.
