Why Not Practice More Self Love? By: Carrie Saba | - When you think of the word love what comes to mind? Do you think about the people and things you care most about? Does it bring emotions of joy and kindness? When you think of the word love does it make you smile from the inside because love makes you feel happy?

When we allow ourselves to love someone or something it can bring emotions of passion and joy that are only felt when love is part of it. The energy love brings is po ...

What Does Your Love Life Have To Do With Making More Money? By: Zahra Efan | - Did you know that money and love issues are connected for women? Being unaware of our money issues can keep abundance away from us.

People Come Into Our Lives To Teach Us By: Deidre Glendon | - Have you ever wondered how much of your life has been spent on thinking or reacting to everything and everyone in your life? People have the tendency to identify themselves by what's going on outside of them. They seem to focus on others instead of focusing and developing their relationship within themself.

Fear Of Being Alone By: Susan Russo | - "Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his soul."
-Marcus Aurelius
One topic that comes up most often when coaching people is their fear of being alone. It's sad to know that there are so many lonely people in the world who don't know how to enjoy their life unless they have a significant other.

Is Self-love Really Such A Big Deal? By: Rick Schaefer | - You can never love another enough to make up for any lack in love they have for themselves. No matter how good you are at it, no matter how deeply it runs, your love can never make up for any lack of self-love. You can love someone dearly, and they could still be in despair or even suicidal.

Loving Yourself Really Well Leads To Love Pouring Over You From Everywhere By: Rick Schaefer | - There is a fun thing that operates in all of our lives, just as the law of gravity does. It is called the law of attraction and it is the same as that old saying we have heard, "like attracts like". When it comes to love, if you love yourself really, really well you will find that you will be really, really well loved by others.

Do You Buy Into Labels? By: Susan Russo | - "Once you label me you negate me." -Soren Kierkegaard
When you were growing up do you remember the labels people would put on you or other kids? Even teachers and parents would label kids and typically those labels stuck like glue throughout their lives.
I'm sure you've seen small children hide their face when you say "hi" to them. I cringe every time I hear a parent say, "Oh he/she's shy," as if the kid is shy and deaf too!
You've heard it before, "Happiness comes from within." No truer words have ever been spoken but the reality is most people seek happiness outside of themselves.

Who Needs Love? By: Roseanna Leaton | - A potential customer emailed a question to me today, asking whether hypnosis could help with hair re-growth or growing taller. On the face of it the answer is probably negative, although there are possible exceptions.
For example, if your hair loss where due to alopecia and there was stress involved, then the use of hypnosis to relax and relieve stress could indeed help a lot. If, on the other hand, you were going bald as a normal process of aging combined with genetic programmi ... Tags:Hypnosis, hypnosis downloads, need love, self love,

Conquering Chronic Disease And Chronic Pain By Shifting From Hate To Love By: Rick Schaefer | - I have noticed a common theme among patients conquering chronic disease and chronic pain conditions.

Loving Yourself Makes Everything In Your Life Feel Different By: Rick Schaefer | - Although there is an abundance of information that is offered to people on the topic of self love, much of it is directed towards an end result, such as receiving more financial prosperity or finding a soulmate.

Are You Letting Your Fat Help You? By: Pat Matson | - Are you friends with your fatness? Maybe not, but I'd love you to consider it. I'm impressed by the high number of Weight Loss Tweeters. We've formed a new church out of our Weight Loss obsessions.
In the Church of Weight Loss, one is absolutely not sanctified without six-pack abs, non-jiggling thighs, high and tight buns of steel, a mandated percentage of body fat, the right lift to one's eyelids and one's boobs, and the wearing of only specified sizes. It makes me absolutely ... Tags:fat, obese, weight loss, self love, self acceptance
Begin With Obesity. Foster Understanding. By: Pat Matson | - Did you ever wish that you could wave a magic wand and your body would look exactly the way you wanted it to look? I sure did, too.

When Love Is In The Air, Remember To Extend Love To Yourself By: Daniel Benor | - If you've got love in your heart, whatever you do from that moment out is likely to be right. If you've got that one true note ringing inside you, then whatever you do is going to be OK. It's love, always love.
- Ken Kesey
On Valentine's Day we focus on amorous love, seeking those special ways to express to someone close to us that we care for them. Oddly, loving and caring for others is often easier for many of us than feeling love and caring for ourselves.
It is safe to say that most adults today have been raised to believe that self-love is conceited and arrogant. That is just not true. Simply check out the self-help and psychology sections of your local bookstore.
Self-love is about having a healthy respect for one-self and accepting your self unconditionally. It is about nurturing your mind, body and soul i ... Tags:self love, love, success
From Healthy To Fatty In A Month: What To Do To Not Gain Weight Over The Holidays By: Marylin Stompler | - It is common knowledge that many Americans overeat during the Holiday season and gain 10 pounds on average between Thanksgiving and Christmas. When the Holiday season comes, all resolutions to eat healthy go out the window. We do not care; we overeat and stuff ourselves because we have a good excuse: it is the Holidays! We almost take it for granted and accept it that we will gain weight over the Holidays. Yet, we promise ourselves that we will be good starting January 1st. The problem is that t ...

Marry Yourself First By: Gregory Anne Cox | - It is hard to escape the connection between June and weddings. This got me thinking about marriage and the different kinds of love.

Why Is It Important To Improve Your Self ? By: Tim Maher | - Sometimes, when all our doubts, fears and insecurities wrap ourselves up, we always come up with the idea of "I wish I was somebody else." More often than not, we think and believe that someone or rather, most people are better than us.- when in reality, the fact is, most people are more scared than us.
Practice By: Gregory Anne Cox | - When we refer to certain professions we call the business of it a practice. My friend's husband has a dental practice, I have a coaching practice, my brother practices law. Within those parameters we might refer to the dentist as "excellent", the coach as "supportive" and the lawyer-at least in my brother's case-as "ethical." I've been thinking about the different ideas around the word "practice."
Ahimsa: The Greatest Form Of Self-love By: Priya Shah | - When Mahatma Gandhi gave us his philosophy of non-violence, or ahimsa, I believe he was preaching the highest form of self-love.
Self-love not only means accepting myself the way I am, warts and all. It also means never tolerating anything - even from myself - that harms or disempowers me in any way.
In the things that I will not tolerate, I include violence. It's easy to perceive violence from an external source. It's much harder to detect the internal violence we ... Tags:ahimsa, non-violence, self-love, violence, Gandhi, Priya Shah

Improve Your Relationships By Loving Yourself By: Wendy Betterini | - Many of us, especially women, tend to put others needs before our own. We neglect ourselves and eventually resent those who have been on the receiving end of our love and attention. What we fail to realize is the importance of putting ourselves first. No, it is not selfish. In fact, its impossible to meet the needs of others effectively without first being balanced in our own lives. Loving yourself will not only prove to be a positive experience, but it will improve your relationships with ...

We don't like to think about our "ugly parts," do we? By ugly parts of course I mean those aspects of ourselves we perceive to be less than perfect. For some it might be physical flaws, like acne, jiggly thighs or a persistent pot belly no matter how many hours we spend in the gym. For others there may be emotional issues like fears, phobias or low self-esteem.
Self-esteem: How To Let Your Light Shine By: Wendy Betterini | - This week something interesting happened to me. I made a gift for someone, and they absolutely loved it. As they exclaimed over it and admired it, they asked if it had taken me long to make. I shrugged and said, "Just a few hours" - when in fact I spent more than 30 hours working on it. I poured alot of heart and soul into it. Why then, did I diminish it? Why did I feel the need to fib about how much effort I had put into that gift?
Life Gets Easier When You Love And Respect Yourself By: Anne Hartley | - When I was younger I mistook self indulgence for self-love. I would give myself massages or buy myself something that made me feel good and I genuinely believed I was loving myself. While it is nice to treat ourselves to luxuries, we need to understand that is all they are. At another life stage I thought self-love was being able to speak up for myself and handle confrontation. This is a great skill to acquire and is a part of loving ourselves, but we need to do more.
To Thine Own Self Be True By: Sharron Myers | - We have looked before on the concept of self-love and I would like to take the time into look into this in more depth.
If you remember, we said that AGAPE love was an unconditional love and that we needed to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Let us look more closely at why we have so much difficulty in the area of loving and accepting ourselves. We will start by looking at two very basic questions.
