Everyone talks about self love as if it’s something that just appears out of nowhere, as if we should just expect to love ourselves infinitely without any effort, but it’s more complicated than that. Everyone is looking for love, it’s part of being human, but if we don’t feel it from ourselves we become dependent on getting it from other people. That can start us on a dangerous path of focusing on what other people think of us and trying to please them, instead of focusing on our own legitimate needs.

 

In any relationship, love is the result of how much effort you put into it, how much quality time you dedicate to it, the depth of understanding you can build within it, and how far you will go to do what is best for it. Your relationship with yourself is no different. People change, places change, but no matter what you do, where you go or who you are, you will always have to live with yourself. So learn to accommodate yourself, learn to listen and take time to focus on your needs. Self love can be the source of your greatest strength, whether you share it with others or use it to get through challenging times.

 

These are the tips that Adam Roa leaves us in this episode of The Resilient Minds Podcast.

 

Adam’s advice is to treat self love like anything else we want to bring into our lives, start by introducing a few good habits, letting yourself do what makes you happy until it becomes a part of who you are. The journey of life is a long one, so make sure you enjoy every step, and make your daily routine a joyous dance of celebration, appreciation, and most of all love for yourself.

 

Adam is a transformational artist and international speaker committed to showing the world what it looks like to choose love over fear in every moment. Combining years of experience as a personal development coach and over a decade of experience as a filmmaker and performer, he blends the two worlds in a way that encourages others to see life as art.
