What about Self-Love? This is my Manifesto for today.

Yes, Valentine`s Day is here. All around the world.

I remember when I first saw a movie about it, in 1994-1995, and then I began to celebrate it. In my country, people didn`t know about Valentine`s Day yet. And I crafted the hearts and everything related … It was fun!

After some years, my country adopted this habit of celebrating Valentine`s Day, even here we celebrate the day of love on the 24th of February, it is called “Dragobete”. I may write about it someday.

However, for me this was fun. I like to celebrate, generally speaking, so I had two days dedicated to celebrating Love. Yeah!

Yes, it is beautiful to spend some good time with your boyfriend, lover, husband and to try to create a perfect environment for this day, to keep the label. Like everyone else around the world.

But what if you are single? What about the single ones? This blog post is for everyone.

Time was flying and I became wiser and in short, I`ve changed. In time I understood that love is not to be celebrated only one day a year but every day. And the road through being more present and practicing daily mindfulness began to reveal to me a different perspective.

That being said, in the last years, I wasn`t longing to celebrate this day but I chose to celebrate love every day.

In 2014, I shared on my Facebook profile some thoughts about this celebration day and the reason to begin with yourself first:

I still feel into this today!

I believe that Love should be celebrated every day. And the most important form of Love is the one towards yourself. Because if you can`t love yourself enough, there will never be another you can love.

Don`t lose yourself in this illusion that you can find love in others and be honest with yourself.

Without healthy boundaries, you can feel lost in a relationship with another. In such a way that if you break up, you will experience a lack of self-worth and codependency.

This is why you need to understand what really self-love is and this is not something they teach us in schools. And no, it doesn’t mean being selfish.

Self-love is something that only you can offer yourself. No one else can.

Self-love is dynamic, it involves doing effective actions and adopting new habits.

Self-love is a daily practice.

It should reach all the levels of your being – mind, body and soul. And your Spirit!

And the understanding that you are a unique expression of Divine Love on this Earth. And you are a beautiful soul. And if you are not aware yet, you just need to remember who you are.

This is why you need to fill your cup first in so many ways that you can expand your love to others, in an authentic way, by being truly yourself.

As February`s theme for me is Self-Love, I was focusing on this on my Facebook Page, and I shared the importance of showing kindness towards yourself, as another way to love yourself.

Don`t underestimate the power of focusing on yourself first!

Because this is the first thing to love mastery!

Only when you have enough love inside, you can radiate it from inside out, and this way you can share your Light with others!

In the next blog post, I will share how many ways you can love yourself, in a healthy way.

You can use it to heal your wounds and expand a mature love to others!

Happy Valentine`s day wherever you may be and remember to begin with loving yourself first!

What is one thing you can do to love yourself more today?

I`d love to know how you turn your love towards you, what tools you used, and how they worked for you.
