It is the month of love, and one of my favorite holidays of the year just passed – Valentines Day! Do you hear that and cringe because you think that Valentine’s Day is a ridiculous made-up Hallmark holiday? Or did you do your best to avoid the day all together because you are not happy with your relationship status? Or maybe you are totally into the spirit of V-Day and enjoyed a romantic evening (and an excuse to eat chocolate).

Did you love your V-Day experience no matter what it was? Remember that the focus of the holiday (and really everyday, for that matter) is L.O.V.E.

To remind you of the Truth about love, I want to share my favorite Valentine’s Day card with you (I’ll show it to you in this video). It’s from my nephew. It’s a red heart with silver and white scribbles on it that says, “Happy Valentine’s Day, Auntie.” Now I know he does not have a clue what Valentine’s Day is – he’s two.  But he totally embodies the spirit of today because he is still completely connected to the love that he is. He wasn’t thinking things like, “I hope someone makes me a card,” or “When is my soulmate going to show up?” or “I really hope my partner would do something special for me today.”

That is what is so great about being two-years-old… we are still plugged into the love that we are. We haven’t yet bought into the lie that love has to come from someone else. The more you love you, the more love you have to share with others. Self-love = more love. I like that equation!

Love exists in all kinds of forms. We get a little tripped up and confused when it comes to love and look around for someone else to fill up our love tank. But the most important relationship you will ever have is the one with yourself. I know you know that.  And I also know that decoding the conditioning of outsourcing love is often easier said than done, which is why I am co-hosting a free call on February 22 where I’ll share amazing ways to to have a healthier, more loving relationship with yourself.

Love,

Christine
