What about self-love?

Dear Friends,
February is the month that celebrates romantic love. Images of cupid and couples in love fill the internet and the media to commemorate Valentine's Day.
But what about self-love? We should not only focus on being loved by another person or giving love to another person -- which is wonderful -- but also on how much we love ourselves. In order to really give and receive, the ability to embrace ourselves and love ourselves is essential.
Some people don't even know what self-love means. Some people think it is selfish and self-indulging to love themselves. Because we are individuals with different life experiences, self-love is different for each person.
Below are some ways that you can show yourself love:
1. Do something for you.
A long hot bath, a pedicure, a walk alone at dawn ....
2. Be around people who value you.
It is important to be around people who give to you as much as they take from you. If you are always giving and not receiving, you will become depleted and not feel valued and loved.
3. Focus on what makes you feel good about you.
Make a list of all the things you like about yourself and love yourself up!
4. Don't compare yourself.
The media is full of "beautiful" and "successful" people. You are beautiful and successful too.
7. Go into your soul for validation.
When you explore your spirituality you connect with the beauty of your soul and the inner you. You may learn things about yourself and value yourself at the highest level.
8. Have fun and do something at which you excel.
Play basketball, cook for yourself, swim ... whatever increases your self-esteem.
9. Be in a place that make you smile.
Something that simple ...
10. Know that you are blessed.
You are a child of the universe and created in love. If God can love you, can't you love you?
Don't complicate loving yourself. Make it simple and enjoyable. Once you love you then you can love others with your heart and soul.
Happy February,
Anna

The Garrison Institute
The Garrison Institute is located in Garrison, New York in a former Capuchin monastery overlooking the Hudson River. It is situated on the beautiful 95-acre Glenclyffe property, formerly the estate of Hamilton Fish, Governor of New York and later Secretary of State under President Grant.
One of the Garrison Institute's primary goals is to create a hospitable environment for our guests. We can offer a place of refuge where people can withdraw from the business of their daily life. Accommodations are simple and quiet with enough space to breathe, rest and meditate. The tranquil, park-like setting, the gardens, the gazebo on a bluff by the river, and the many walking paths together create a natural setting for contemplation. The Garrison Institute property is connected to the Hudson River trail system and the Appalachian Trail.
The Garrison Institute is located directly off Route 9D in Garrison, New York, in Putnam County. The venue is 50 miles north of New York City and approximately 30 minutes from the city of Poughkeepsie, New York. Major highways nearby include Interstate 84, Route 9, the Palisades Parkway and the Taconic State Parkway. They offer on-site parking for those who will arrive by car.
