For most people, self-love and self-acceptance are a challenge. They may act as if they love themselves, and if you were to ask, they would readily state that they do indeed love themselves. However, if they – and even you – were to dig deeper, you are likely to find that there is self-love… but with reservation.

All too often, and in our moments of quiet and solitude, we focus on our flaws and limitations: all of the things we wish we could be, our mistakes and our failings. Rarely are we kind to ourselves, and recognise and appreciate our character, our values and our achievements. Further, we do not always acknowledge the impact we are having in the world and in lives of others.

There is a lot to be said about living your life with grace and gratitude. Frequently, people see your light, but may know what is its source. However, celebrating who you are at your deepest level can be one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself and the world!

 

Throughout the day, we invite you to revisit this quote. Below are a few questions you may wish to ask yourself, and those who journal may find them especially useful:

• Do I truly celebrate me?
• What are the ways in which I celebrate and acknowledge me?

 

 

Best wishes and have a great day!
