LEARNING TO LOVE OURSELVES


By Marc White! Singer/songwriter of inspirational pop songs


LETTING GO OF FEAR


By Susie Itzstein Perth relationships coach


Fears and worries are usually old stories we believe about ourselves or the world. They distort our perception of reality. The most insidious thing is that we then base our actions and thus live our lives on those old stories.


Before the fears and worries is your thinking. So the place to start is paying attention to your thoughts that have resulted in your fear or worry.


,


And why do we need to do this? I’d say to my kids when they were sitting an exam – you don’t get any marks for worrying. And so it is with life. In fact it results in giving you ‘negatives’. Fear and worry create stress in your body, which diminishes your JOY and well-being on ALL levels. “Love is letting go of fear” says Gerald Jampolsky.


So a great antidote is to ask – What would Love do or say now?

Inspirational songs such as “The Greatest Love of All” and recent hit, “Born This Way”, do a huge amount of good by encouraging us to love ourselves. Whatever you may think of current pop queen, Lady Gaga, when she declares “Rejoice and love yourself today, ‘cause baby you were born this way”, she is doing a massive amount of good for humanity, especially the children and young adults, who buy most of her records.


The negative garbage put out by many pop stars, on the other hand, in particular rapper Eminem, and many heavy metal and punk bands, has the opposite effect of promoting pain, anger and low self-esteem. So it follows that if you want to boost your level of self-love, you will only listen to positive songs.


Sure, you say, it makes perfect sense, but are you willing to actually do something about it?


Buy “The Greatest Love of All” and “Born This Way” on iTunes. Start making a list of other songs that promote self-love. Create an iTunes / iPod playlist of these uplifting songs and listen to it repeatedly.


Doing this has profoundly deepened my level of self-love, and it will do the same for you.
