Self Love

A big portion of my therapy has to do with self love.

If we have self love, and the ability to really see our worth and value, then the idea would be that validation would not be an addiction. 

If I know my own worth;

If I know that I am loved just the way I am;

If I am aware of my value;

Then validation from other humans would cease to be necessary.

For an addict of validation, however, this can be a longer and harder journey than one might think.

It's crazy, isn't it, how I promote and advocate for self love.

Every single day.

I cannot fathom all of my loves not seeing their worth and their value!

But, for me...

As is true for many addicts of different things...

It's much harder to live what I preach.

I love this quote.

I love how simple it makes it sound.

AND, I love how it shows the benefits of self love.

Addiction to validation is the opposite of this quote.

You don't glow because there is no light lit on the inside.

You don't attract the people who you really need or even want in your life.

It's about giving people what they want in return for validation.

When we have self love (and we are not talking arrogance),

We are able to attract those who don't seek anything in return.

Self love is pretty much the bomb dot com.
