Love

In the previous blog ‘Hate’, we were looking at the power of words and just what an impact they can have on water cells and the fascinating work that Dr Emoto has done in his studies. We are all, about 50% to 65% of water, so now is the time to start sending the love we need and deserve, to ourselves and our bodies and also to start to emanate this to the world around us. We live in a very outwardly focused society for all of us, but more primarily the younger people who are bombarded with images that they can at times feel driven to aspire to. This is an issue for us all, as lots of the images are not true-life images, as they have been edited and enhanced. But even though we know this on one level, that can often not stop us from comparing ourselves to them, and this can in turn make us feel inadequate about who we are. The knock-on effect is that our confidence and self-esteem will be lowered, but at its worst, it can make us dysmorphic about how we look, which can lead to lots of issues. The extremes of this will be things like anorexia, severe insecurities and obsessions with beauty procedures, and these are just a few of them. This is because we can become over-focused on ourselves and not see things in their true perspective. As we continue to overfocus, we enhance those feelings of not being good enough, in turn, the more negative messages we send to ourselves, leading to increased feelings of negativity about ourselves. This can become a real negative spiral that just increasingly compounds how bad we feel about ourselves, knocking our confidence and lowering our self-esteem.  What we all need to do, is to learn to love ourselves for who we are, and if we are not being that nice to ourselves, then this is something we need to change.
