... being, self-love is a great gift to cherish and nurture. And true love is unconditional. By its very definition, it has no conditions. It does not come with strings attached. It just is.

But if you love yourself unconditionally, then there is no deserving, no earning, of this love. You simply allow it without question. Learning how to love yourself using these methods can be done from home or you can start with some self-development workshops, join an online self-development forum ... that you will have missed out on years of being taught self-love.

... self acceptance. There is embracing self love, self nurturance and self respect. There is going through the changes that come naturally as you evaluate old belief systems and allow the ones that have 'ripened' to fall away naturally. It is stepping out of old comfort zones. It is becoming comfortable with stepping away from the masses and thinking for yourself. There is submersing yourself into the flow of life and enjoying the ride. There is the ongoing task of stop taking shit so seriously. (Again, a whole other subjects that I could spend sooooooooo much time on.) Ultimately, it does come down to Self Awareness and Self Love ... the truth is a hard pill to swallow). But I am about to get off on a tangent, so let me go back to the original question... Part of the original question was "would it not be more productive to teach people about self love instead of drugging a person to mask the symptoms?" Yes, teaching a person about self love is the most important part of the treatment; however, in some cases, you must also address the symptoms and the effects that the symptoms are having on the person experiencing them. Let's say for an example that this spiritual immaturity or misalignment ...

... younger one decided upon as a result of her life's experiences... When we finally say yes to all this, and so say yes to and no longer deny our true self, I see this as our pathway to not only freedom from the seduction and comfort of food, but also empowers us with awareness and choice the next time the old patterns are triggered by life, and without struggle or guilt. I see this exploration as a pathway to true self discovery, acceptance and ultimately, self love as we begin to make new choices that honour and nurture our body, mind and being. ... God initially intended. Instead of food being a source of nourishment and joy, for some food had become a source of so much more: a source of opting out, a source of validating beliefs of being different, alone, unworthy, separate, ugly; of playing out control, power and protection patterns; of self punishment; of punishing another; of providing comfort; of numbing out and stuffing down feelings even consoling a life one longed for yet never attained, even protection. Food has indeed become a very diverse tool that can lead to great suffering! As strange as it may sound, I personally see this ...

Centering our individual core should stem from solidifying ourselves with full, complete and unconditional self acceptance and self love. This is where living the best life we could possibly live begins, for when we accept ourselves in totality then the world must accept us totally and when we love ourselves without condition then the world must love us unconditionally. It is the law. ... us is capable of travelling the road back to the state of unconditional self acceptance and love. However, the journey takes time and through that process we will understand that we will experience degrees of each. We will only ever be able to give and receive love or acceptance to the extent and degree to which we express it to ourselves. This means that if we partially accept or love ourselves, we will only be able to partially accept or love other people and they in turn will only partially accept or love us. If we cannot be unconditional with ourselves, then we cannot be that ...

... you to foster. A quick suggestion from the peanut gallery? I deliberately think of ways to communicate with the hubster in "his love language" (Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman) and find ways to practice good self love through working out, friends and any kind outdoor adventure (sans hunting, which I am not cool with but my BFF "D" loves). To do all of this I needed to know and really understand two things: my needs, my love language and his needs and love language. You have to remember that in any relationship the first one that yells, that loses respect for a partner and grows ... passion. Don't be lukewarm...and don't just swallow what you're told or make it us as you go. Investigate. Pray. Meditate. Be insatiably curious. Seek hope, faith and joy like it's your job. Romance, Romance, Romance Romantic relationships are next on the ladder past faith and self. Love is a tricky thing, and not all that easy to navigate if it's real. Two humans living in close proximity, hopefully growing in a like direction...a rare bird.

... . Without an exit valve for our emotions and thoughts to be released, the pain we carry will impact on our emotional, psychological, mental, spiritual, and physical well-being. Learning how to lovingly express in a healthy way, without defending, explaining, or personalizing enhances intimacy and trust in relationships and deepens self-love. 2. Asking for forgiveness. Allowing my vulnerability and humanity to be revealed created the pathway for healing. Each of us at one time or another has strayed from our path, ignored our heart, betrayed another, been unloving, acted unwisely, given in to an addiction, desire, or temptation we might regret ... by giving me numerous opportunities to play with whatever I want to work on.
