So What Is Self-Love, Exactly?

Today, I want to define Self-Love so we can be clear on the meaning of this journey.

There are endless definitions and explanations out there,

but when I put my hand on my heart and ask my inner knowing to define Self-Love,

this is what comes up from my soul to share:

Self-Love is the practice of meeting yourself

exactly where you are in each moment,

with unconditional compassion and understanding.

It’s being present with yourself in your raw truth,

and loving yourself in all versions of your humanness.

It’s choosing to embrace your innate worthiness,

instead of shaming yourself for your imperfectness.

Self-Love is an ever-evolving & expanding relationship with yourself ~

a sacred connection with your own heart, that continues to deepen over time.

It’s not a state to achieve or a feeling to arrive at,

but a practice of remembering to come home to yourself,

again and again and again...

It’s the practice of fiercely honoring your own needs,

while being ever-so careful not to abandon or bypass them

for the perceived love or approval of others.

It’s the practice of treating yourself with the utmost care and respect,

as if the most important job you’ll ever have, is nourishing your own well-being.

(Pssst ~ it is precisely the job that you came here to do).

Self-Love is what determines the emotional quality of your life.

In other words ~ your level of happiness and satisfaction

will always be a reflection of

how much love and grace you give yourself.

"Self-Love is not a destination. It's a beautiful journey — where you rise, heal, shine, and bloom into the powerful soul you were always meant to be." ~ Elysian Pages

🌱 Self-Love is how we rise: by coming home to ourselves, over and over again.

With grace. With honesty. With love.
