98. I Love Me, I Love Me Not... Tips to Create a Healthy Self-Love while Becoming Emotionally and Spiritually Fit

98. Growing up, did you ever sit out in the grass and play the old flower petal "gamble" game? You know the one where you whisper over and over again "he loves me, he loves me not" as you sheepishly pluck petals off of a flower.

I'll be the first to (embarrassingly) admit… I remember doing it. 

"He loves me, he loves me not… he loves me, he loves me not…"

As if love were some kind of toss-up, luck of the draw game of chance?! Well… maybe back in the 5th grade it was. But these days? We're older, wiser and more equipped. Love is deep. It's true and real. You know that. I don't have to tell you.

But what about when it comes to you loving yourself? What does that kind of love look like? Have you ever thought about it?

So often as women, we think about, and try to show our love for others, but do we slow down enough to actually form a healthy "self-love?"

Rebecca Dawson, a faith based Master's Level counselor is joining me on the podcast today to dive into this topic. I have to admit… she rocked my world when she mentioned a piece of scripture during our recording that goes like this…

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. And love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other command greater than these." (Mark 12:30-31)

Wait a minute!? The Bible says to "love yourself?!" Oh yes, sister, it does. I don't know about you but I have referenced that scripture in my mind so many times before like this….

"Love your neighbor" Period. Hard stop! But it doesn't stop there. It goes on to say "as yourself."

#Mindblown, right?! 

Needless to say, there is GOOD STUFF coming your way on the podcast today! Tune in to hear about "self-love" being explained in a Biblical way (and I'm not talking "self-care"), and take away some tangible tips for how you can begin to create a healthy self-love in your own life. This episode goes deep, Sis!  

With Great Joy!
