Be Your Own Valentine

Love - Purpose - Presence - Choice
Self love – if you believe you do not have it, then check and see if you have a pulse and a breath. Yes? Good, then you do. You need to allow it to blossom in you, and move into a leading role in your play, your experiment as Nancy or Joyce or Sam or George. How? Here’s an idea – see what happens.
Let’s suppose your self love, that blossom of warm bright energy and exquisite aroma that you offer to yourself is merely covered up with garbage thoughts and beliefs. They are garbage because they are not needed, they serve no purpose. They might have at one time, to protect you and help you sort out your world, but when they keep the blossom of self love buried, they are garbage. Refuse the refuse. Some fairly common garbage that could be burying your self love are:
If I wasn’t around, others would be happier. I cause pain
I hate my body, it is so not OK this fat or thin or sick or male or female.
I’m scared I’m scared I’m scared I’m scared
If my parent’s didn’t love me, I must be worthless
Action:
Pick up one piece of garbage thought. Before you throw it out, hold it in your hands. Know that thought was useful once. Thank it for its use, for how it helped you sort out pain or fear or lack. Send kind thoughts to the you who made it up at whatever age you were. When you’re ready, imagine your way to release the energy of that thought from its negative hold on you – perhaps it goes in the compost pile, is buried in the earth to decompose, or is burned in a bright fire (what color is it?) Or….?
Good. Now nourish that little blossom of self love. Go to it every day. Take a moment and treasure, cherish, and savor that part.  Just the statement, I am willing to love, or I am willing to learn to love, is nurturing. Go out and buy a Valentine’s card that says just what you want to say to yourself. Celebrate you.

Hi there,
Not sure that this is true:), but thanks for a post.

I want to thank the blogger very much not only for this post but also for his all previous efforts. I found http://www.emergingbrilliance.com to be greatly interesting. I will be coming back to http://www.emergingbrilliance.com for more information.
Keep posting stuff like this i really like it
thanks for the encouragement!
Most readers just don’t have the time to scan another page so in my opinionthat would more likely give lesser traffic for your blog.
I Really like what you have done with your blog! Will you please check out my site? It is new and i would like to show it off! The site is http://www.publicdomainpayday.com
hi it is my first post on this website and in the begining I would like to thank you for the useful information, which I found in this and all previous topics , it really helped me a lot. I will definitely put this website on my rss reader
Also, I would like to ask – don’t you mind if I will quate some information from your blog since I am writing articles for the Associated Content, Ezine and other articles directories (this is my part time job)? It would really help me with some of mine articles. Of course, I will mention your website name or URL (not all articles directories allows URL’s , so I can’t 100% promise that you will get a direct link to your blog).
I just couldnt leave your website before saying that I really enjoyed the quality information you offer to your visitors… I will be back often to check up on new stuff you post!
Thanks for asking – yes, quote me and do everything you can to get a link back here! Joy,
Nancy
