So in this practice of loving yourself as you would love another, it is time for that first date.
Where will you take yourself? You don't have to go alone to a movie or restaurant, you can go for a romantic walk under the stars or make a cup of tea and snuggle on the couch and read a good book to yourself.
Take this practice as seriously as you would if you were entertaining another.
You are not allowed to skimp or roll your eyes during the process.
When you treat yourself with love and respect, others will treat you the same way.
As a child of the Divine, you deserve the best. Give it to yourself today. ~Silas
You often underestimate the importance of self-love. You know it is a spiritual necessity, but like doing housework or taking care of your physical bodies, you avoid it because it is work.
When you show yourself love, it can be work. Just as it can be work to show love to another. But what do you feel when you are on the receiving end of that love, that leap in your heart as your beloved walks into the room, that squeal of delight at yet another token of affection? It feels wonderful, of course, it makes you walk around in a sea of bliss.
What if you discovered that your perfect love was always nearby and would never leave you and wanted nothing more than to make you the happiest person on Earth?
It is time to go on a blind date. A date with someone you have been around, but never really met. Someone who will love you so much that fairy tale characters will want to read about you.
That someone IS you.
This relationship is going to be fun, romantic, sensual and sexual. How can it not be, you are starting a relationship with a person who knows you as well and sometimes better than you know yourself?
Spiritual leaders are fond of telling you that you should love yourself, but they don't always tell you how to do it.
So let us begin! On this day in 2017, pledge to start a relationship that is a whirlwind, and yet stable, wildly romantic, with a touch of philosophy, emotional support and comfort.
It is time to fall in love with you! ~Silas
