6 ways to radically love yourself

 
 

Without self-love, there’s no effective end to self-trauma. You will be caught in a mindless loop of victim stories created inside your head for the sole (unconscious) purpose to enhance and grow egoic living. This is suffering.

A way out of this loop is to practice what I think of as radical self-love. What is radical self-love? It’s simply asking how did you love yourself today?

  1. Did you remember to take time for your mindfulness practices whatever they are: journaling, breathing, praying, meditation, stillness, inner listening, feeling your inner vibration without thought? Your mindfulness practice builds the energy within you creating a strong energetic field around you. This creates confidence, health, joy, peace, courage within. In the absence of mindful rituals, you will have mindless rituals.
     

  2. Did you remember to live your life fully—no one else’s? Are you remembering that only you get to think your thoughts, have your feelings, and give meaning to your experiences? Only you. You can’t give meaning to anyone else’s life.
     

  3. Did you remember to not go against yourself no matter what? Are you checking in with yourself to see if you went sideways? Did you live yourself fully today, or did you go against your own good guidance? What did you learn?
     

  4. Did you remember not to beat yourself up for what you think of as a mistake? Are you letting yourself know that it’s okay to have the experience you did? Better than okay. It’s okay to experience yourself however that looks and feels today. That’s how you gain wisdom. Through experience.
     

  5. Did you remember not to let your wound do all the talking and carry you away in a victim story? Are you remembering to take a breath, calm down, and look again at the triggering experience? Your growth path is made by you walking on it. Trust you are experiencing what you are to help you gain what you need in order to show up authentically for yourself. Or it wouldn’t be happening.
     

  6.  Did you remember not to second-guess yourself? Did you make a decision in a confused state or when clear? No one has ever reached clarity by overthinking. When you stay up all night thinking, how do you feel the next day? Not good, right? Instead, take a breath, center yourself, and decide. It’s just a choice and you make it taking full responsibility. Forgive yourself often for what you don’t know until you do, and if necessary, you will choose again. Don’t maybe, should’ve, would’ve, could’ve yourself. Back yourself fully knowing it takes courage, inner strength, and self-respect to stick your neck out into the unknown. 

I could add a hundred more things to this list—a hundred times a thousand more things as there’s no end to love and the way you can experience it. Do your best to radically love yourself first and the rest seems to take care of itself.
