Today is the day..
The day to love yourself. π
But how, how do you love yourself?
It seems hard because we humans seem to have trouble perceiving ourselves,
and something that you can not perceive is hard to love, isn't it?
But there's a trick for that,
which makes loving yourself easy, at least easier then you think.
Here it is:
Just pretend to be a cat who is chasing its own tail. Yep.
We are not sure maybe how much the cat is pretending to see the tail as something different then itself or actually really believes it doesn't belong to it, but it has found a way to play with itself.
Likewise we can hug ourselves,
just wrap your arms around yourself
and really hold yourself,
as if you were someone else
and love that someone deeply.
Send that someone a lot of acceptance
and understanding and warm and caring love.
I challenge you, there is no time like now,
before you know it you are on to the next post,
filling yourself with more information,
without really doing anything with it.
Do this right now for two minutes or longer,
if you like really long hugs. π
I hope this brings you a newly found,
joyful connection to yourself.
And if you liked it,
do it again tomorrow π
hugs are free,
even you own ones.
Lots of Love Clara
P.s. Are you facing a challenging situation
and feeling your self esteem drop?
This is a nice thing to do
while going to the loo too. π

The world says to love yourself, but Jesus says to put others before yourself.
Jesus also said: "Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life." (John 12:25)
Its a stark contrast to our world's way of thinking and what they promote. Also no offense to you by sharing this, just a different point of view and something to think about in a world that is headed in a down the wide path of the self that leads to destruction.
"The way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who will actually find it." -Jesus
Have you ever tried loving your neighbour without loving yourself first?
It's not possible, that's why Jesus said: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
So go on love your self. It's ok, even Jesus said so.
