Most people would agree that self-love is essential for happiness. But what does that really mean? 

​

The problem is "Self-Love" becomes just as cliche as "Say no to drugs." How do you love yourself? What I've realized is that it can be more beneficial to examine the ways we unknowingly, aren't loving ourselves, rather than trying to conjure up ways to love ourselves. 

​

There were many times I bought myself jewelry and clothes and thought I was "loving myself" when in reality none of those things led to a sense of long-term fulfillment or happiness, it was a temporary distraction. 

​

Loving your soul, your spirit.

What does your heart desire? Feel your connection with all of life. Give and receive love. Share your passion with others, inspire and share your gifts. It's amazing how the simplest things can bring the greatest happiness.
