Have you ever thought that “self love” is selfish, self-centered, or arrogant? Well, I have great news for you…you’re not alone. Today I show you why you’re NOT alone, and why self love isn’t only about you.
Kim McMillen said, “When I loved myself enough I began listening to the wisdom of my body. It speaks so clearly thought its fatigue, sensitivities, aversions, and hungers.”
Self love isn’t only about you.
It’s about ALL OF YOU.
Let’s face it, my dear, you are way more than the ME that you call yourself.
Loving you is loving more than just YOU. It’s about loving ALL of YOU.
Your above. Your down.
Your inside, your outside.
Your being. Your doing.
It’s your beliefs.
It’s your body.
It’s your belonging.
It’s your body of work.
IT’S ALL. YOU.
So when you start to think about establishing a lifelong love affair with yourself, you MUST acknowledge and accept ALL OF YOU…
OR…
Your life won’t love you back.
You can have it all, when you realize that you are it ALL.
Then, you can receive it ALL.
(This is the continuation of our Enough Is Enough Series — based on the profound little book, When I Loved Myself Enough by Kim McMillen and Alison McMillen-Givnish. You can order a copy HERE.)
