"I celebrate myself, and sing myself." Walt WhitmanIt is crucial to learn to love ourselves before trying to build a relationship with another. We cannot love others if we don't first love ourselves. This is an often heard and repeated truism.
When we have learned to nurture ourselves, we are ready to devote ourselves to loving another. You cannot even recognize love when it's given to you, if you haven't first learned to love yourself.
First believe in your own worth. This will cast an aura around you that lets the world know, "I am lovable. I am a love goddess."
Call upon Venus for self-love and self-appreciation. She is all that is divinely feminine. To love yourself means to love yourself as a female.
Venus loves her life, her men, her universe and having things her way. She enjoys gazing at her own beauty. She helps us open our hearts to ourselves, and our eyes to our own value. Venus represents self-love, self-esteem and a woman's divine worth.
Venus, the Roman goddess of love, beauty and sexuality, is one of the most famous goddesses in the world. She is well-known for her sexuality, her enjoyment of her own exploits, and her absolute appreciation of herself.
Venus can be very generous. She helps mortals with their great romances. She represents the divinely independent female. Her love affairs are legendary. Among her great paramours are Mars and the beautiful Adonis.
She possesses a magic girdle, made with love by her husband, Vulcan. When she wears it, anyone around her will fall under her spell. She is often pictured naked, rising from the sea on her shell, covered only by her hands and hair.
You honor Venus by taking care of your own needs and being independent. She never fawned over men and neither should you. If you learn to feed your own soul and become your own best partner, you lift yourself up.
Look in the mirror and know that you are looking at someone divine and deserving. Let your thoughts flow freely and try to express them as vows. Whatever comes to mind, say it out loud as if you are speaking to Venus directly.
How to Nurture Yourself
Self-nurture on a regular basis to show your self-love and reinforce your positive self-esteem. Do some of these things:
1. Take time out for yourself. Go on a date by yourself.
2. Go out by yourself to a nice restaurant, art gallery, symphony, concert or some other activity or event that you enjoy.
3. Write a love letter to yourself. Say all the things you would want to hear from a beloved. Be generous with praise, adoring, and loving. Comment in detail about your beauty and grace.
Mail the letter to yourself. When you read it, let the words enter into your heart to open yourself more to yourself.
4. Make a list of all of your positive qualities.
5. Make a list of all of your achievements.
6. Make a list of all of the obstacles you have overcome in your
7. Shine in those areas that come naturally to you, and don't worry about the rest.
