Have You Ever Thought About What It Feels Like to Love Yourself?

I did… and it felt like the great void.

“Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.” — Lucille Ball

I meditated this morning (thank you very much, pat on back), and like a bolt of lightning striking my neocortex (which also connected the dots on why Keanu’s character in The Matrix is named Neo—only took 24 years for that to click) I realized something pretty jolting.

When you love yourself unconditionally, life moves along with more ease.

Here are my two thoughts on self-love today:

#1. How deeply do you love yourself?

SUCH an awkward question, right? Like… love myself? I never even thought about it or how it’s supposed to feel — I mean, do I even like myself? could be a better question.

But during my quickie meditation this morning, the centering theme was about love and loving yourself, and we were asked to FEEL THE LOVE inside.
