How do I love myself?

Post on August 3, 2026
P’taah: Of course it is so easy to say the answer for everything is love who you are, absolutely and unconditionally. And the words ripple off the tongue, so to speak. And most of you have no idea, really, what it means. To be kind to yourself, that is a good start.
And one of the ways of being kind to oneself is to look at the negative judgements that you have about who you are, and simply be in allowance of that. You know, that is a very little part of you that judges you, that says that you are not this and you are not that, and you should be this and you should be that.
And the truth is that intellectually you know that you are perfect, eternal expressions of Source, and the greater part of you knows this truth. So which part of you does not? It is that little part of you, that child part of you, if you like, that you have grown and learned with in the terror of being abandoned because you are not enough.
So when you realise that each one of you have these fears, that they are not so extraordinary, in a way they are not so powerful, they are only powerful when you resist them.
When you say, Well this is how I feel about myself today, or this day, then that is perfectly valid for that moment. And as you can acknowledge the feeling, so indeed it is to say, 'Who is really acknowledging the feeling? It is not the child within, but it is the larger part of me.'
So then you come to realise that to love who you are is about allowing yourself to be all that you can possibly be, all of the time. And one of the ways that you allow yourself to be all that you can be is to be kind and compassionate about who you are. And when you make choices, ask yourself, ‘Is this choice that I am about to make, is this based on fear, or is it based on love and excitement and joy and fascination?’ You see?
And when you make the choice of the heart, then you are being all that you can be, and you are loving who you are. When you allow yourself to be ruled by the fear, then you are living, in a way, a diminished life that is not based on love, but fear.
So loving who you are is to validate every thought and every feeling. And in that validation comes the choice: 'Do I go with this or do I not? Do I go with this idea of ‘less than’, or an idea based on fear? Or do I turn, do I tweak the attention, and make a choice based on the largest part of me, even if it is scary?' All of that is loving who you are.
The more that you can acknowledge, every day in your thank-yous, that you are the perfect, eternal expression of Source, that this larger part of you, this connected-ness to the Source, is the one who have chosen this life to be here, on this plane of reality, have chosen to tap in to the probable realities called war or peace, then indeed you remind yourself that all of this, in a way, is a game.
And it is a game designed and co-created by you to explore the possibility of growing, and being all that you can possibly be, no matter what the situation is!
