In this episode of Finding Love in the Chaos of Life, Jacqui and Tanagh unpack the 9th topic of the #DaretoBeLove Journey: SELF-LOVE. 

SELF-LOVE, a topic that’s gaining increasing popularity, is not just a vanity project. It is a profound process of accessing full connection with our individual Spirit to connect with the Spiritual essence that resides in all others, allowing us to see and feel that we are united as Universal Spirit. 

SELF-LOVE is the first topic within STEP 4, the final step of the #DaretoBeLove Journey – HOW TO CONNECT WITH ALL OTHERS. 

In this episode, we discuss the importance of connecting to and with our SPIRIT, our born-to nature that only knows Love, by creating a connection with our Higher Power to live a life of present-moment Joy. 

When we are connected with Universal Spirit, self-love flows naturally. 

This journey is about discovering and nurturing our individual Spiritual essence, a process that is unique to each of us. That is why self-awareness and self-care are so critical; with these practices firmly in place, we can connect with our individual Spiritual essence. Self-care and self-awareness practices can take many forms, from meditation to journaling, yoga, quality sleep, psychotherapy, coaching, prayer, gratitude, connecting with nature, healthy eating etc. Sometimes, that shows up in declining plans with friends, and sometimes, that shows up as prioritising making plans to see friends. Perhaps for you, that shows up as committing to going on a solo walk through the forest however many times a week, and it may mean taking as many rest days on your couch at home as you need. That's the thing about self-care and self-awareness – it varies intensely depending on your personal needs, which we can only truly access from a space of joy, despite life's chaos, when connected to our individual Spirit. 

These actions and inactions help us fill up our own cup continuously, allowing us to step into the world connected to Love for Self, all others, and all things.

Here, we work with and observe our SPOKEN WORDS as our way of BEING in the world.
