By nature, women are loving, giving, nurturing and serving. As a result, women are so busy looking after everyone else, that they don’t take the time they need to love themselves. Sound familiar?

Self love is not selfish; rather, it’s absolutely vital to your ability to live fully the life you so richly deserve. Consider this: if you are always giving, giving, giving, then all of your energy is being shared with those around you and can’t be renewed. That leaves you feeling overwhelmed and exhausted!

Self love is not ego; rather, it’s taking the time to turn inward and recognize who you are at your very core so that you can become fully expanded as the unique spirit that you are. Consider this: Needs and desires change over time. What you desired as adolescent woman evolved as you matured into an adult. And, as an adult your desires continue to evolve as you experience different relationships, careers and families. If you are so focused on serving others, you may not be fully connected to your own changing needs and desires!
