Website design By BotEap.comValentine’s Day is a day of the year that we make sure to recognize the people we love. There are many different ways to express love. Using the words “I love you” is one way, but the words often have little meaning if our actions are not aligned with our words. You may have heard the words yourself, but the person saying them shows no love in their actions. There are other people who have not heard the words “I love you” nor have people in their lives expressed genuine love for them. They have never felt truly loved by anyone.

It means accepting them for who they are, supporting their interests, forgiving them for their mistakes, acknowledging their accomplishments, being there for them through good times and bad, accepting their faults, and appreciating their strengths. It also means loving them when they may not be kind.

Loving yourself is defined in the same way as loving another person. That is accepting yourself for who you are, acknowledging your strengths, forgiving yourself for your mistakes, doing things that nurture your soul, and celebrating your successes.

Do you feel guilty about spending time with friends or doing something just for fun? Do you recognize the end result of putting yourself last? When it comes to self-love, what do you want to be a role model for your children? We know that children learn what they live. You cannot learn to love yourself if you have not been a role model.

Yes, children need to know that they are a priority in our lives. A child who is completely dependent on us has to come first. But what happens if we always put our children’s needs before our own? They often get a diluted version of who we really are.

They deserve to have a parent or partner who is happy, patient, tolerant, fun-loving, resourceful, and emotionally and physically healthy. We can only become the best of who we are if we show love and respect for ourselves. Many fathers (mostly mothers) have told me that when they take a day out to be with friends or do something they love, they find their family feeling refreshed and refreshed. The things that might have irritated them the day before became insignificant. Parents who don’t carry resentment tend to be more fun. They can better appreciate the strengths of their children and their partners.

Write a loving affirmation for all the wonderful things you have done this year for other people. Buy her a bouquet of her favorite flowers or a bottle of her favorite wine. Go to a bakery and choose your favorite chocolate dessert. She deserves it! I am talking about you.
