Do you deny yourself love?

Do you deny yourself love?
 
I always ask my clients what their self-care practices are.
 
Often I get a nervous laugh. And then a ton of excuses.
 
Why do we deny ourselves love?
 
Recently, I had to look at some of the ways that I deny myself love.
 
I criticize myself. Sometimes I’m afraid to charge a decent price for my services. I don’t schedule myself a lunch. I procrastinate about things. I opt out of yoga because I let client sessions run over.
 
These are the ways I take myself out of self-love. How about you?
 
When I recently talked to a client of mine about love, she said, “I never wanted to love myself because I was told it was arrogant.”
 
Arrogance is not love. It’s fear – imposing your ideas of superiority because you have to prove your worth. Love is knowing everyone is equal under the eyes of God.
 
What I’ve learned from the Shamanic indigenous ways and Yoga, is that everything is connected and it’s imperative that we respect all, including the Earth. In loving and having incredible respect for all of God’s creations, we must love this body-mind system to its fullest.
Love is appreciation, value and self-worth.  Love is what you are offering the world in service to the whole of humanity, the Earth and ultimately the Universe.

How could your life be different if you really loved all of you?
Can you imagine into what it would be like if that’s the way we all lived?
 
The more I value and love myself, the happier I am. I don’t need to do anything to prove myself, I have so much less pressure to perform, I feel in flow with life, the less I need, and I can offer so much more to the world.
