When I was young, love was all about the way people made me feel. Making sure I made people happy, is how I loved others. I learned over time that love isn’t some strange tingly feeling. It’s your actions.
Let’s start with yourself. Loving yourself requires a significant amount of action.
What is not loving yourself? Things that make you unhealthy physically, mentally, and spiritually. Toxic foods, toxic thoughts, and toxics belief systems are not healthy.
Taking action to mind yourself is loving yourself. That’s it.
Once you can manage that, you add another human in your life and partner on minding yourselves together.
“I’m just a big believer in ‘you must love yourself before you can love anybody else’ and I think for me that breeds the most inspired relationships.”
