Hi, I'm Tony factory and thank you for joining me today on this video blog titled The Art of self love. I wish to explore three points that are relevant in order to harness and foster self love within us. Now, let me be clear that self love is really about harnessing our wholeness harnessing our own potential within and it is not conceited, it is not narcissistic, but rather connecting with our spiritual self. So the first point is, we need to receive self nurturing. And the understanding in this point is that not all of us grow up in a emotionally conducive environments. Many people are subject to emotional, mental or physical abuse.

And so a lot of that rush shapes their life and into their adult life. The earlier part of their childhood really has a semblance or a significant component into how they relate to others in their adult life. So we need to receive self nurturing, we need to nurture ourselves. And self love is a component of that self love calls that we recognize that there is some aspects of our previous life, our previous childhood, where we didn't receive what we needed, it may have been through a caregiver, a parent, a teacher, whatever it may be, that something was missing, it may have been an emotional disconnection. And so it makes sense that we make up for that through self love. So the second point is we need to practice empathy and self compassion.

And I think this is really important. Empathy is about the way that you would relate to another person that was going through pain. And that other person could be a loved one a family member, a friend, a work colleague, how would you nurture that person, and I invite you to nurture yourself with that same outcome. And so effectively practicing empathy and self compassion is about every interaction that you have with others, stems from your interaction with self. So your self belief, your self esteem, your self worth, is a indicator of how you connect with other people. If you have a detracted or a low self worth, then effectively that comes out in your interaction with others.

Now self love is the overriding umbrella. It's the overriding dome, which allows you to heal from To transform any emotional mental disconnection or even spiritual disconnection that you hold self love is the blanket that warms the soul. I think that's an important component. So the third point is heal old wounds, self love allows us to heal those old wounds. So I said earlier that if we have had or experienced any type of mental physical or emotional abuse in our childhood, then that carries over into our adult life. And so self love is really about healing those old wounds.

We don't want to erase them. We don't wish to forget them, or, you know, sweep them under the rug, so to speak. Instead, we want to bring them out into the open and face them, deal with them, yet deal with them with love. Not just look at them and feel them but yes fill them with love with self love, and really invite that energy to permeate through your soul to transform all wounds is really the key to self love. And effectively, it's a coal to awaken our authentic self. Our authentic selves lies beneath the facade of all those things that we have told ourselves all those stories that we have created and others have created for us.

And we have adopted as a result, and they are the limiting beliefs, they are limiting beliefs to the extent that they hold us back and that is not who we truly are. Yet, if we foster harnessed self love towards ourselves, then we invite others to do the same. We give permission for others to also come from a place of self love. So when you heal yourself, trust me when you heal. yourself you also give permission for others to heal. Because you create an energy of love you create a container, a conducive environment in which to show others the status possible.
