Increasing Your Self-Love Quotient

Love is a Powerful and Creative Vibration.

When you cultivate self-love, you increase your vibration level and raise your consciousness. As you do, you connect with the universal energy of Love, and that's when magical things begin to happen.

Think about the last time you felt Love. Was it while listening to your baby boy's laughter? Were you staring into the eyes of your beloved? Or you were looking at a stunning sunset over the horizon. There are so many beautiful opportunities to connect with Love every single day.

Did you feel the energy and vibration of that loving feeling?  Did it make you want to share the moment? Did it make you want to be a better person? Did it fill you with gratitude and hope?

David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., was a nationally renowned psychiatrist, physician, researcher, spiritual teacher, and lecturer who developed The Map of Consciousness after years of research. The map distinguishes between creative energy and destructive energy. With each progressive rise in consciousness, the "frequency" or "vibration" of energy increases. Love resonating at a level of 500 dissolves negativity. Dr. Hawkins argued that higher consciousness radiates a beneficial and healing effect on the world.

It isn't difficult to believe that Love is creative energy. How many have done amazing and courageous things in the name of Love? Love inspires and propels us to new heights. And fear stops us in our tracks. The lower-level vibrations stop the flow of inspiration and creativity and begin to spread pain and chaos.

An essential thing to remember is that Love is Love. Many of us learned that Love should be selfless. To be given to others without expectation. To love ourselves, we were told, was egotistical, self-absorbed, and selfish. For this reason, we often get stuck at the lower levels of consciousness below courage and become our worst enemies. We feel worried and anxious. We feel fear and a sense of hopelessness. We feel disempowered and dependent on external conditions. We do no good to those around us from this place because we live our lives from a place of destruction. The antidote to this is to cultivate self-love and increase our Self-Love Quotient.

When we move above and beyond courage, we begin creating. We begin expressing our authentic selves, and the universe can support us. The universe responds and matches our energy. From this place, we start making our dreams come true and giving ourselves the power to attain our most ambitious goals.

Here are some ways to begin raising your Self-Love Quotient and tapping into your creative power.

1.   Surround yourself with individuals who inspire you.

2.    Avoid or set boundaries with individuals who lower your vibrational levels.

3.   Pay attention to your self-talk. If your self-talk causes worry, fear, apathy, or shame, get support in developing strategies for changing it.

4.   Spend time every day doing something that inspires you.

5.   Cultivate self-awareness and mindfulness.

6.   Identify your core values and live your life in alignment with these.

7.   Connect with your authentic self and your strengths every day.

Increasing your Self-Love Quotient is an exciting and stimulating process.

It allows you to live your life with passion and enthusiasm.

Create an awesome day!
