How do you do 'self love'!

This week I had a friend ask me the following question, which caused me to ponder...and I LOVE to ponder!

What do you do to pamper/honor your 'inner self' and 'inner being'? And, how do you pamper your 'outer self', your physical self?

After much pondering here was my response....

How do I pamper my outer self? Basking in sunlight, taking walks, exercising weight bearing and cardio, movement, bathes, getting my hair cut, colored and coiffured, and my very favorite 'body and foot rubs by Larry'!!

I used to get a lot of massages, acupuncture and chiropractic care. I haven't in a long while...again pondering...

How do I pamper my inner self and feed my inner soul? I LOVE this one.....

Again....basking in the sunlight, walks outside, exercise, Tub Time with Tuckie, anything that stretches and expands my conscious and unconscious capacity, being in silence, meditation, visualization....

Being with friends, like minded peeps, living my passions for coaching, teaching and speaking, leaping from the edge and trusting my wings to appear....

Finally.....Gratitude...Self appreciation and Self acknowledgement.

I believe that the greatest gift and nurturing you can give to yourself is the gift of 'self love' and 'self appreciation'. That's how come Step One of The Rebel-ution: A Woman's 'Rebelicous' Guide to Freedom, Liberation and Bold Self-Expression is: Celebrate Your Uniqueness!

Putting your self first, acknowledging your gifts and talents, loving your self completely an unconditionally is the greatest gift you can give your self, and an amazing way to practice 'self love'.

I invite you to play with me. Practice accepting your self exactly as you are, acknowledging your uniqueness, and the truth of who you are; a spiritual being having a fabulous human experience!

Take a piece of paper out and write down 5 things you LOVE and APPRECIATE about yourself. Do this tomorrow, and the day after and the day after and forever. Make it fun.

Then 'toot your horn' a li'l and share your list with a trusted friend....THAT WOULD BE ME!!!!

Here's mine for you:

I love my passion for being me and doing what I love.
I get a kick out of my sense of play, humor and fun.
I love my openness, willingness, intensity, persistence and intention to live life and squeeze it's juice.
I love my ability to engage, listen to, love and inspire others to wake up to the truth of who they are.
I appreciate my willingness to change, transform, grow and evolve; and love myself in the process.

I'll be waitin' to hear from ya!
