Self Love

Self love is talked about more and more these days. But what is exactly self-love? Do you love yourself if you take tons of selfies and post them on social media? Does it mean that you have a fantastic body? Does self-love mean that you have lots of confidence? Does self-love mean you never make mistake? We often hear that you cannot love someone else until you love yourself.

Louise Hay provides a very simple definition of self-love: “Self love I moving from separation, isolation, loneliness, anger, fear, and pain, into peacefulness. You relax and enjoy life as it comes to you, knowing that everything will be alright.” According to this definition, real self-love has nothing to do with external factors. Self-love is not to be confused with narcissism.

I believe that a healthy level of self-love is vital to living a successful life. Loving yourself is essential to being all that you can be, regardless of what happens in your life. Self-love is a daily practice that includes self-care, self-acceptance, and embracing your uniqueness.  Practicing self-love requires a commitment to yourself before anyone or anything else. Trusting yourself is also necessary for living an authentic life. When you truly love yourself, you are centered and focused on your purpose despite adversity and the opinion of others. You live a life of intention.

When you love yourself, everything in your life flows. It has nothing to do with being perfect, or being ascetically beautiful, or comparison. Loving yourself is appreciating all that you are and constantly expanding the compassion and understanding that you have of yourself.

Start practicing self-love today. I have created a 30 Day Self Love series which is posted on my Youtube channel, Yogi Lifter Nef, if you need help getting started on you self-love journey. Please watch these videos and remember to like, comment, and subscribe

Divine Discontent

Everyone on this planet has a purpose for being here. It is also your calling, your passion, etc. Your purpose is not necessarily your occupation, although it could be. Usually your calling is something that you would do for free. When you are engaged in you purpose, time seems to fly by. You are in a state of bliss and so sure of yourself. You feel almost childlike because you are so focused on the present moment. But what if you are not living from your passion? Have you allowed yourself to get distracted by life’s twists and turns? Do you have a feeling that you are experiencing life on a lower level then you could be? Do you feel like you are just surviving? This feeling is what I call Divine Discontent.

As we grew up, many of the well-meaning adults and other influences may have caused us to lose sight of our goals and suppress our creative selves. They tell us that we need to be responsible adults by going to school, getting a job, taking care of our families, and falling in line with social norms. Our creativity and passions are something we can engage if we have any spare time, otherwise it needs to be suppressed. It is no secret that most people are dissatisfied with their lives.  

It takes a tremendous amount of courage and persistence to live a passionate life. To live from your highest self, it is necessary to remove distractions and complacency. You must believe in yourself and what your unique contribution to the world regardless of what others say or think.  Living with passion involves discipline, tenacity, setbacks, obstacles, pain, and a commitment to the journey. You will be making your own decisions and trusting yourself. Self-love is an essential part of this whole process of living from your passion. Living a life of purpose is living a life of authenticity, which can make some people uncomfortable. Let that all be okay with you.

If you are feeling divine discontent, this is your calling longing to connect with you and seeking outward expression. When you choose to live a passionate life, all that you want and need will be attracted to you like a magnet. Get on with it. The world needs you.
