Loving Yourself an Easy Task?

I’ve been on this random kick with asking my Facebook peeps their thoughts on matters of love and dating.  So the question I proposed was this “Do you think getting to a place of loving yourself well is an easy task?”  Naturally the answers varied which I love and rightly so as we all have different stories to form our answers from.

So what about you, do you find loving yourself an easy task?  Listen there’s no right or wrong answer here, the only answer is the truth.  Have you ever even thought about this?  Hopefully if you’re a regular

on my site then the answer would be “Duh, yes..because you talk about it all the time!”  But if you’re new, I’m asking it now so go ahead and answer it.

What does that even mean?  Well how would you love someone else? Do you and are you willing to do the same for yourself?  I had a client that we really pressed through on this topic and them loving them-self. Notice I used the phrase “pressed through”.  I hope you’ve gathered that this was no easy task.

You see when you’ve been programmed throughout your life that you’re nothing, you can always be more then what you are, because clearly what you already are is not enough and so on, self love can look too far out there.  It seems unattainable, so you don’t even try.  The truth is, it is attainable.

Growing up in a religious background I learned two things.  You love God and you love people.  What I didn’t know was how to love myself.  The journey of figuring and APPLYing that, I have spent a lifetime working towards, spending time with counselors, reading books, and APPLYING…and APPLYING…and APPLYING. I should just sign a life long commitment with my coaches, because I am committed for the rest of my life to deepen the love I have for myself.

Have you ever thought about going on the journey of learning to love yourself well?  If so, email me at aricaangelocoaching@gmail.com or click the pic below.  Oh and if you were waiting to fall in love with someone, hoping that they would give you everything you need, let me forewarn you… IT.WILL.NEVER.HAPPEN.  Jerry Maguire screwed a lot of us with “you complete me” phrase.  You see, you can’t give out what you’re unwilling to give to yourself.
