AUTHOR

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the beginning of a wonderful, life-changing journey! As you work through this book, you will learn to better understand, accept, and love your true self. The activities and reflection prompts included in the following pages are designed to help you increase your awareness of your own needs, desires, and dreams. By the time you reach the end of the workbook, you will come to understand the value of self-love and how to utilize it in your day-to-day life.

Please note that you may be embarking on a new, unfamiliar path. As you make your way through this book, expect to encounter helpful vehicles to support your quest but also be confronted with roadblocks that may temporarily hinder your journey. Although challenging, this expedition is paved with the promise of growth, happiness, and love. Despite the difficulties that might arise on your path to self-love, the simple act of opening this book is a huge step in the right direction! You should be proud of yourself for beginning this process. Instead of staying put in the comfortable routine of your daily life, you’ve chosen to honor your worth, motivation, and passion. You’ve chosen a personal pilgrimage to become a better version of yourself, and this dedication to discovering and loving your true self is incredibly powerful. As you work toward your personal goals, come back to this initial spark of motivation and be inspired! Although you may be fixated on the triumph at the end of the line, please remember that it is often the adventure itself that makes the biggest impact.

Before you begin, take a moment to consider how and why you have arrived at this self-love journey. Although self-love is helpful for everyone, the reasons for embracing it may vary. Delving deeper, you may find that the value of self-love changes at different phases in your life as well. The following prompts will help you to reflect on your purpose for setting out on a path paved with self-love.

As you begin with these reflections, honor what arises. Try your best to be open and nonjudgmental of your ideas and feelings. If you have been considering a question for some time, several thoughts may come to mind. On the other hand, it’s quite possible that these questions may be new considerations, and you may need to be patient with yourself in the process. As you continue your journey, your reflections may become clearer with time. You are welcome to return to this reflection when the time feels right.

CHAPTER 1 SELF-LOVE

self-love \, self-luhv \ n. 1. The active practice of accepting, caring for, and encouraging oneself

Just as water and air are vital to survival, so, too, is the need to love and be loved. Is it possible that a primary part of this necessity is the ability to love oneself?

Although not a new term, the concept of self-love has been gaining popularity in recent years. Thousands are being called to consider that love is not just an interpersonal concept, feeling, or behavior but an intrapersonal process as well. We need love from ourselves as much, and perhaps more, than we do from others.

The process of self-love begins with the mere task of being able to appreciate you for you. It is crucial to be kind and considerate toward yourself; however, self-love is more than a sentiment. Beyond your ability to tend to yourself, you must remember that self-love is an intentional practice to learn and cultivate. Self-love provides you with the opportunity to see yourself completely, to recognize and value your strengths and weaknesses, triumphs and challenges. It is critical to acknowledge your imperfections and obstacles in order to nurture your personal growth.

Self-love is wondrously empowering and validating, yet it is not always an easy task. It is more than indulging in your favorite food and escaping to an island paradise. Within this process, it is helpful to recognize that without darkness there cannot be an appreciation for the light. Self-love also requires the courage to reflect on where you are, the bravery to consider where you want to be, and the tenacity to strive to be a better version of your true self.

With an emphasis on the self, this journey is ultimately an independent one. Although it is helpful to unite with others who are on a similar path, at the end of the day self-growth is predominantly dependent on personal effort. The process of loving oneself is a subjective experience. Just because a tip has worked for many does not mean it will work for all. Honor your individuality as you attempt to follow the guidance provided in this book.

While fruitful, the process of self-love is not a summit to conquer. Instead it is a continuous practice of caring for yourself. Hence, self-love includes the dedication to prioritize yourself regardless of the chaos that life may bring.

Overall, self-love is an all-encompassing practice of recognizing your self-worth, being kind toward yourself, and fostering your self-growth throughout the course of your life.

Just as the journey of self-love differs from person to person, the definition may vary as well.

Take a moment to consider what self-love means to you.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SELF-LOVE

ASHA As long as Asha can remember, she has dreamed of her prince sweeping her off of her feet in a fairy tale union. She even describes herself as the quintessential hopeless romantic on her dating profile. As she attends wedding after wedding, with a different date each time, she begins to worry. Her long list of short-term relationships has caused her to become discouraged. Asha doesn’t give up. She continues to invest her all into each budding romance, only to be met with heartbreak each time. Feeling like the forever third wheel, she starts to isolate herself from her friends. When her loved ones touch base, she fears the impending awkward exchange in which she has to report time and time again that she hasn’t found the one.

MARIANA Mariana had a difficult upbringing. Born to a young mother, Mariana lived with her mother and grandmother growing up. Her mother was often out of the house and didn’t spend a lot of time with her. Fortunately, Mariana had her grandmother, and eventually, younger siblings to keep her company. When Mariana was ten, her grandmother was diagnosed with stage IV cancer, which progressed quickly. The family struggled for several years to make ends meet. Mariana now feels the pressure to drop out of school to help pay the bills. Wanting a better future for herself and her family, Mariana turns to risky side jobs to juggle staying in school and helping her family.

DEVON With an empty nest and pending divorce, Devon finds himself reflecting on his life. While he spent decades establishing a notable career as a cardiothoracic surgeon, his time with his spouse and three children seems to be a blur. Although he is happy that he achieved his dream of gaining prominence in his field, he is beginning to recognize the cost of his hard work. While Devon is proud to have been able to support his family throughout the years, he is beginning to recognize that his financial support could not account for his absence. Devon becomes overwhelmed thinking about all of the moments that were missed due to his ambitious path, and how he may never have those opportunities again. Devastated, Devon turns to excessive alcohol use to numb his feelings of despair.

Now that you have a definition of self-love, consider how self-love applies to Asha, Mariana, and Devon.

What examples of self-love do you see within Asha?

What examples of self-love do you see within Mariana?

What examples of self-love do you see within Devon?

How do you think Asha’s life may change if she improves her self-love?

How do you think Mariana’s life may change if she improves her self-love?

How do you think Devon’s life may change if he improves his self-love?

Asha, Mariana, and Devon are average people not too different from you. Like anyone else, they need self-love. From these cases we catch a glimpse of a time in their lives in which they are unaware of the importance of self-love. At this point in time, Asha, Mariana, and Devon are all unable to see and honor their worth. They do not realize that in order to care for others, we must also care for ourselves.

They have disconnected from their true selves and have been facing consequences as a result of that severance. Asha has been focused on finding love, but in the wrong places. She has been fixated on finding someone to love her, rather than seeking to love herself first. Mariana has the best of intentions for her loved ones; however, the pressures of life have caused her to sacrifice until she is depleted and risks being unable to take care of herself or anyone else. Devon’s visible successes caused him to become prideful and materialistic, and while he’s excelled in his profession, he still struggles in matters of the heart.

Like anyone else, Asha, Mariana, and Devon are all capable of making the choice to infuse self-love into their lives. With that brave choice, they can explore and reconnect with their genuine selves. They can discover and embrace their strengths and embrace them to improve their quality of life. They can understand their areas for growth and explore them with patience and kindness. As they embrace a self-loving lifestyle they will be able to
