I’ve been contemplating my values lately, & for me, my highest value is Love.
So I ask myself, if love is my highest value, how am I bringing it into my life ? How do I filter everything I do, say, think, through a lens of love ?
Every conversation I have, every interaction with the world, every post, everything – am I filtering all of them through a lens of love ?
But then, going deeper, I ask myself, how do I show love to MYSELF?
Am I filtering my own internal dialogue, my self-chatter, my thoughts, through a lens of love first, or not ?
How can I be in integrity & say that love is my highest value, if I don’t apply it to myself?
When I speak to myself harshly, put myself down, am overly self-critical?
Or when I treat myself worse than I treat anyone else ?
Or when I set a really high bar for myself & then beat myself up for not achieving it, & end up being disappointed & feeling like I'm not good enough?
I feel we have to be compassionate to ourselves, just as much as anyone else.
Apart from anything else, we spend a heck of a lot more time with ourselves than anyone else !
So, my question to you … how do you bring love into your life?
And in particular, how do you show love to yourself?
Be kind.
Be compassionate.
To yourself, as much as anyone else.
