Self-care is essential to living a life in balance and giving yourself the love and nurturing that your soul craves. It can help boost your self-esteem, give you time to reflect and find inner peace. This inner peace will enhance your overall state of well-being and add significantly to maintaining your health. Self-care is an essential factor in attracting love and a soulmate relationship. When you put your needs last, your soulmate will not awaken to find you. Making self-care a priority will attract your true soulmate into your life.
Now let’s talk about self-love and how this differs from self-care. Self-love encompasses everything that self-care does but with an even deeper dimension to it. Self-love exists below the superficial surface of self-care. Many people think that self-care is enough to attract and keep love but it is only the first step. If you are reaching for your highest potential soulmate then you must first embody self-love. Self-love is easy to recognize because you radiate kindness and confidence in your world. You make choices that create financial and emotional stability in your life. If this means that you need more education, you commit to it. You eat foods that support the feelings of love you have for yourself and provide more energy, clear thinking, and a healthier body. You may use personal care products that are higher quality, organic, and free of pesticides. It is easy for you to make good choices in love and relationships because you are accustomed to making choices that are good for you in your other life activities. You know what brings stability and growth to your life in healthy ways and you do not wait for someone else to provide it for you. You recognize that if there is an area of your life holding you back, that you can heal it, overcome it, and achieve what you desire. You reach out to advisors, mentors, and coaches to help you accelerate in every area of your life. You are not afraid to take the necessary steps that lead to your happiness.
Self-love means that you eliminate toxic people and situations from your daily life and move toward positive people and situations. You resonate with uplifting positive friends and thrive in projects that you believe in. You know that you are a master in your own life and that complaining, taking on the victim role or being confused are signs of being out of alignment with your ability to love and value yourself. You know how to become clear within, how to trust yourself and how to move forward. You put your name on projects that you believe in and take chances that grow your soul.
When you have self-love you can be gentle with yourself and forgive yourself quickly and easily so that you can move forward. You can also forgive others quickly and retrieve your lessons from each situation without being victimized or feeling sorry for yourself. The energy of self-love is a high vibration that doesn’t become stagnant. It knows there is a divine timing to things and allows you to feel comfortable being able to let things unfold without pushing for quicker results.
Self-love doesn’t chase dreams; it takes steady steps toward them. Self-love doesn’t chase love; it radiates it and attracts it.
Take some time to think about how you have created space in your personal life for self-care and how you embody self-love.
