Do you enjoy yourself?

I have a question I want you to ask yourself today: I'm curious, do you enjoy spending time with yourself? (And I mean real, genuine quality time, not just Introvert Isolation.) If not, why do you think that is? Do you not know how to enjoy yourself? Or that you're even allowed to?

You don't have to settle for a neutral relationship with yourself. It’s not enough to feel “good enough.” I think you know this already. I think you know that there’s so much more. Your inner voice, your inner knowing, wants more for you & from you. I know because I feel it too.

Simply not hating yourself is not enough. No- to feel truly and completely Alive, you need to love the person you are. So much will change when you begin to really dig into this work.

Here in America we hear all this talk about ‘loving others the way we love ourselves’, but most of us don’t even know that we’re allowed to love ourselves, let alone how. (Not to mention the Elephant In The Room that most Americans aren’t even taught to love others well, just how to comply with Patriarchal White Supremacy. Sigh) But let’s take a sidestep from that and think about your soulmate, real or imagined. It feels good, yeah? I want you to feel those same big, juicy, beautiful, Anything-Is-Possible feelings about yourself that you feel about your soulmate. You may even come to find out you were your own soulmate all along. (Not to spoil the ending or anything… 😉)

You don't need permission, but here's some anyway: You're allowed to love yourself the way you really, really wish you could. Not some false "perfect" future version of you, but exactly the You that you are right now. And it's easier than you think.

Deeply loving yourself is actually your original state of being. And we're gonna get back to it, one itty bitty baby step at a time.
