Often when we think about opening our hearts to love many tend to associate those words with receiving love from others. I would like to redirect your attention to the idea of allowing love in for yourself from yourself. For some it's easy to love and care for others while overlooking and undervaluing themselves.
Do we really listen to the words we use to describe ourselves? And why is it easy for some to point out their flaws and mistakes? Yet when asked to pinpoint a positive attribute many seem at a loss. Imagine the toll it takes on our self image, why is it so easy for us to tear ourselves down? Have you ever met someone with a positive and healthy view of themselves and made the assumption that person was arrogant? When we hold low images of ourselves it's difficult to accept when others understand their importance. Those who look within for approval and not without understand the value of loving and cherishing who they are. Many of us hold negative images and thoughts that were planted in our minds from family, friends, teachers etc. Now is the time to pull out those wrong mental pictures from the root and replace them with right thinking. It's okay if others don't approve of you as long as you find approval from within. Open up to self love and appreciation, and watch how it causes you to reevaluate the way your life is lived and forces you to up your standards. We are unstuck and we are free.
