HJ: At the core of our essence, we are love.  Pure and simple love.   And it is not so much that we are love but that the universe itself is a construct of love.  And so as a microcosm of the universe we too are love.  And the more deeply we can embody and express that (in our own unique, individual way…) the better our lives will get..

He broke your heart, violated your trust, betrayed your confidence, ignored your needs, and disrespected you. When you tell your friends, they shake their heads, clucking, shaming.

HJ: Self love is an art… a way of living… a daily practice… that cultivates this quality within you and shines it out upon the rest of the world.  It is a profound state of living and being… a return to your essence… who you really are beyond all the layers of conditioning and pain and trauma.  It is, in a sense, your truest self and we are all on a journey back to this state whether or not we are currently aware of it…

8 Ways to Increase Your Self-Love

By Elyse Gorman | Notes on Bliss | Huffington Post

We spend so much time doing our best work on the outside — working on our bodies, careers, relationships, cooking skills and goals.

HJ: Challenges are inevitable… it’s all about how you perceive and approach them that makes all the difference and allows you to transform them from problems into possibilities.  One of my personal favorite ways to do that is to first accept the wisdom of the challenge that is showing up in your life, as on some level you called it in as an opportunity for growth and expansion and so it is truly a gift.  The second thing is to ask what is the ideal outcome?  The third thing to ask is how I can I create the ideal outcome?  And you get as close to it as possible.  That combined with the shifts Manal outlines in her wise article below should give you the tools to navigate anything that appears in your life rather gracefully.  And of course, the icing on the cake is acceptance of however things ultimately do turn out, as even if the situation does not end up how you ideally envisioned it, there is a reason for this is well that you may not understand until further down the line.  Sometimes what we perceive as a failure in the moment is often the foundation of a future success.

HJ: When you begin to realize that there is great wisdom in everything that occurs in your life, suddenly struggle and suffering starts to drop away and you begin to appreciate everything.  And that, in and of itself, disarms negative emotions quite rapidly.  Instead of dominating you, they come and go like a cloud floating through the sky, which is a beautiful thing indeed.
