Looking for love? Look inside.
When you are really and truly loving yourself, love from others will show up like magic in your life.
by Michelle Taffee A
re you looking for love? Perhaps you are on Tinder, scrolling through the options –swiping
left or right without thinking too much about it. Or perhaps you are on another dating app, which is more sophisticated and matches you with people with whom you have things in common. Maybe you are going to Dinners for Eight and enjoying fine dining with strangers, some of whom may become friends or lovers, around a candle-lit table. Unless you have done the deep dive into your own heart and discovered the
infinite and abundant love there, it will be difficult to find love with another. Because your essence is actually love, it is you who you are seeking.
THE FIRST STEP IN THE JOURNEY TO LOVING YOURSELF Ask yourself today: do I really love myself? Do I deeply respect myself? Am I following my heart’s desires? Am I caring daily for my body, mind and soul? Am I choosing to spend time with people who are loving and caring and respectful towards me? Do I tell myself every morning how much I love myself? Am I doing work that I love and that feeds my soul? If the answer is ‘no’ to any of these
questions, chances are you are not fully loving yourself. And if this is the case, it is going to be hard to find your dreamed-of partner, no matter how

hard you search. The first step in the journey to loving yourself is to really investigate your relationship to yourself and discover all of the ways that you are not currently in a loving relationship with yourself. Do you have a nasty inner critic who is telling you that you are not good enough, that you will never make it, that you are not lovable? Are you living your life based on a need to please others rather than pleasing yourself? Are you telling yourself that caring for others is more important than realising your dreams and then holding secret resentments as a result? Are you living from an inner place of fear and scarcity, or one of love and abundance? The way we relate with ourselves is also
the way we relate to others. So if you are critical and judgemental of yourself, you are likely to be critical and judgemental of others. If you are not taking good care of yourself, it will be harder for you to take good care of others. If you are not following your heart and being guided by your desires, it will be hard for you to support a partner in following their heart and living their dreams.
SELF-FORGIVENESS The second step in the journey of self- love is self-forgiveness. Forgive yourself for absolutely everything in your past. Forgive yourself for all of your perceived mistakes with yourself and with others. Forgive yourself for all of your perceived successes. Forgive yourself for all of the arguments or disagreements you have ever had with anyone. Forgive yourself for all of the falling-outs with friends
