The most beautiful Saint Valentine’s day gift

The most beautiful Saint Valentine’s gift is not something you offer to someone is something you offer to yourself. Stuffs you give won’t fulfil people , people have to fulfil themselves. Of course, your ego will be happy to receive something the problem with this it will always ask for more and also ask for new forms. You don’t prove your love by giving stuffs and the love to you aren’t proved by you received stuffs.

Something you can offer to yourself that will improve your relationship is your self-acceptance. The more you accept yourself the better any of your relationship will be.

If you ask yourself : Does this guy love me ?
What you are really asking yourself is “ Do I love myself ” this is what you are really trying to ask yourself but you use other people as your mirror so the question is projected on them.
There is an even deeper level of truth in the question “Do I love myself ?” it is “Do I accept myself ?”
Because, if you accept yourself you will naturally love yourself and when you love yourself you aren’t concerned much by people constantly proving their love to you with outer forms (such as gifts, invitations …)

Take some papers and pen and write on the paper the title : I CANNOT ACCEPT MYSELF BECAUSE
Write everything that pass through your mind as fast as you can , do not try to analyse or judge, do not try to have a beautiful formal writing style be as brut as you can be let your heart talk, let what you have inside flow out , just write fill the papers until you ran out of thoughts. If this is difficult know that what you do not accept and criticize in other people are the things that you don’t accept about you.

When you are finished pause and look at the papers say to yourself: Today, I decide to accept myself deeply and completely. If you can safely burn the paper do it or destroy it the way you can. If you are in a place where it is not safe to burn papers, you can make a ball with the papers put it under the water and then put in the toilet and flush it.

Now, do not go to sleep we aren’t finished with this.

Take some more papers and write the title: I CAN ACCEPT MYSELF BECAUSE

Write all the reasons why you can accept yourself. Fill the papers with your reasons. This time take your time to dig inside yourself, think about your qualities, your abilities, all the things that make you unique and a beautiful human being. Write and keep writing.

When you finish take another paper but this time, it should be paper for artwork for drawing or painting, quality paper, take pens and colors.

In your best artistic manner write the title: I ACCEPT MYSELF BECAUSE.
Now, beautifully fill the papers with your reasons for accepting yourself, use colors, draw your symbols of acceptance, take your time to do that work, you should end up with a beautiful piece of artwork that you can put on your fridge or any other place you pass by regularly.
If you are good with computer graphic software you can design it on the computer and make it your wallpaper and or your screensaver.

Look at your piece of artwork as often as you can it will increase your sense of self-acceptance, this is in my opinion the most beautiful gift you can offer to yourself and others.

Self-Acceptance.
