Now is the time to slow down and spend more time with you so that you can explore the greater aspects of who you are being. Remember 2023 is asking you to know thy self by investing more time looking in the mirror, by looking deeply into your eyes. This is important because your eyes are the windows to your soul. Your soul is the source, the core of who you are. The Greek philosopher and wise master Aristotle (384BC-322BC) is quoted saying “Knowing yourself is the beginning of wisdom”. When you know who you are, you can begin to accept and love yourself.

It’s highly likely you’ve never asked yourself “Who am I?” This might seem like a silly question because you have an identity, you have a name, you have a birth certificate, you most likely have a drivers license and or a passport verifying who you are. You have proof! So why ask this silly question? These forms of identification prove who you are as a person. However, the good stuff happens when you ask the deeper self-awareness question “Who am I?”. Now is when you begin to look for a deeper understanding to learn more about you. That’s when your Love Thy Self adventure begins!

When you begin to explore your inner awareness journey of knowing who you are, you will soon realize how extremely powerful and a little unbelievable it can be. A good way to explore your inner knowing of who you are is to journal your experiences and stories. The key here is to explore in a trusting, non-judgmental way, with the main aim of striving towards self-awareness. Only by understanding the forces, choices, and motivations that got you to where you are today and how you feel about that, will you be able to see more clearly what you want to create next. This new perception of who you are is bringing you to the crossroads where you get to decide if you are ready to explore deeper.

Like all new intimate relationships, you need to see the complete picture and accept what you are learning. While on your adventure to learn more about who you are, I suggest you have compassion for all the experiences and events that brought you to this point in time. Compassion to accept and appreciate who you are is vital on your journey so that you can begin to love yourself.

Love thy self or self-love is a state of appreciation for oneself that grows from actions that support our physical, psychological, and spiritual growth. Self-love means having a high regard for your own well-being and happiness. Self-love means taking care of your own needs and not sacrificing your well-being to please others. It’s time to let go of that old pattern.

February vibrates to the 2-vibrational energy which encourages togetherness, companionship, partnership, and romance. Valentine’s day on the 14th reminds us to show appreciation, gratitude, and to express love to people in our life that mean a lot to us. So, this year when you buy candy and flowers to show appreciation for the people you love, be sure to purchase a box of treats along with a beautiful bouquet of flowers for yourself. Note to self, 2023 February’s vibrational energy is encouraging you to Love Thy Self!
