How to Develop Self-Love for Your Heart

First of all, I want to I wish you a happy Valentine’s Day this week! Or for those of you who wish the whole thing would go away, just pretend I didn’t mention it. Our topic this month is self-love. Last week we talked about self-love for the mind and how emotions begin with thoughts, and why it’s so important to have control of that. This week we’re talking about self-love, for the heart.

My first suggestion is to reach out to loved ones, friends or family. Make plans to bask in their love, even if it’s just Zoom. I currently live in a place where I haven’t lived for very long, and so my families – both birth family and chosen family – are very far away. I don’t get to see them very often, and that’s, why I mention zoom. I suppose many of us are a little tired of zoom, but it does offer the chance to at least see the faces of the people that you love and to reach out to them. Being able to connect with them can really just do the heart a whole lot of good. Talk to them, laugh with them, reconnect, and let them love on you and let them let you love on them.

Another thing that is so good for the heart is to play with your pets or children. I have pets. I have two little girls, one’s named Riley, and one is Faith. They are both shelties, and I know that I can get down on the floor with those girls and love on them and hold them and be next to them. Fills my heart with joy and brings me such a sense of gratitude to the Divine that they are in my life.

I have lots of other suggestions for you. Check out my podcast, “The Angel Tarot Show” on mindbodyspirit.fm!

The Sprinter’s Spiritual Lesson

Looking back, I cannot recall a time where my life has been so much about learning about myself. Why don’t we do this when we’re young? It would save us so much time and trouble! We could make such better choices if we were just taught to “know thyself.” One of the...

Holding Hope Without Holding on Too Tight

I have a question for you. How does one balance holding hope in your heart without also creating a powerful attachment to the outcome? Seriously, I’m asking. To me, this is a spiritual highwire act. Hope and optimism are powerful manifestors. They bring our heart’s...

The Stuff That’s Hidden

I recently got back from a visit to the city I was born and raised in. My sister and her family still reside in Knoxville, Tennessee and I hadn’t been back there in years. But one of my nieces and my nephew have been “fruitful and multiplied” so I had three babies to...

The Unsuspecting Expert

I’ve been doing a lot of “nest feathering” in my little French cottage here in Colorado. That’s been a whole other kind of fascinating for me as I have been drawn to colors and textures and artsy things that frankly astonish me. My inner “introspection addict” is...

Life is Sooo Good

I talk to myself. I do it all the time. I’ve been working from home since 2001, so I had chalked it up to spending a lot of time in quiet spaces. But, I’m also starting to wonder if it’s more than that. That maybe… just maybe… sometimes me talking to myself is...
