PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

For Valentine’s Day tomorrow, I think it is appropriate to talk about the most important kind of love, self love.  I am learning self love now in my life, and what I have learned is that before we can love others, we must learn to love ourselves.  Part of that self love is our own acceptance of ourselves.  For many years in my life because of my childhood trauma and my life experiences, I loathed myself as I was told that I was unworthy and a bad person.  Then I projected these beliefs upon myself, and perpetuated and allowed others to treat me in hurtful ways.

As I progressed in my own emotional recovery, I believe now that I am worthy, and am comfortable in my own skin.  I am who I am, and no longer feel ashamed or unworthy.  Before others can respect us, we must respect ourselves and do not apologize for who we are.  I am proud of who I have become in that I realize I may be flawed and have made mistakes in my past.  I acknowledge my flaws and mistakes and try to change my hurtful behaviors, but I am still worthy of being loved.

I feel liberated being who I am now, and no longer try to hide my past, my childhood, or my life from others.  I am very open and honest about where I have come from, and where I am going.  Once we accept our life as everything happened exactly as it should have happened, we have no regrets, and we are at peace with our own life. May you find self love through acceptance, Brooke (Copyright 2014 Kundalini Spirit with All Rights Reserved)
