      Falling in Love with Me - Kathy Bosman

      Introduction

      My self-love journey began in the midst of deep grief. I’m so grateful that The Universe used what caused me deep pain to propel me into a healing and life-changing new path called self-love. I couldn’t help but write about it in this 30-day compilation of self-love nuggets. I hope, somehow, you will get infused with the same love as you read these messages each day for a month.

      It is my suggestion that if you want to ponder the truths more deeply, you instead read one message per week and do some extra reading up on the subject for that week. Use the daily affirmations for a whole week to let them sink in.

      When my husband of twenty years left me for another woman, I was devastated, broken, petrified. I felt unloved, rejected, ugly; you know the deal. I came face to face with the low self-love I’d unknowingly carried with me my whole life. Then, I stumbled upon a book by Christine Arylo called Choosing Me Before We. She wrote frequently about self-love in her book that speaks about loving yourself before finding a partner.

      It was like a light went off inside my soul—an epiphany moment. A life-changing realization. Thus began my journey in discovering self-love and how it’s helped to heal my heart and life. I believe the healing has gone way deeper and further back than the divorce.

      Self-love is a strange term in our society. It often reminds people of some narcissistic behavior, where a person preens and loves themselves, boastfully making sure that everyone they meet knows how special they are.

      That kind of seems a contradiction.

      Because yes, we all are special. Many of us are broken, but that doesn’t take away our worth as human beings.

      We are all created by God/Goddess/Universe/Spirit, or a part of God, however you want to see it. We come from Source. We are perfect. Potential. Magic.

      Sadly, in this broken world, people grow up without the love and guidance they need, and they develop holes in their lives, or cracks in the mirror so they don’t see their perfection anymore. And they don’t act like it, either. Or separation from love occurs; it happens to all of us as we live in an imperfect world, no matter how wonderful our parents were.

      Often in our society, we’re also not taught to put ourselves first. We’re taught that it’s selfish to love and pamper ourselves, to meet our own needs.

      Religion can teach us to judge ourselves—the classic God is watching you so you’d better behave scenario, as if God / Source is like a big, cosmic Santa Claus: Be good if you want your gifts, else you’ll end up with a lump of coal. Or we’re made to believe that we are inherently evil. Or broken. Rather, it’s our view of ourselves that is broken.

      Whatever faith path you may follow, or even if you don’t follow anything, God or The Universe is shown as the source of pure love. Love is at the heart of our deepest desires. We are the vessels and channels of that very love. But we need to learn to love ourselves first before we can receive and give out this pure light energy of love.

      I’m actively pursuing self-love because there’s a spot deep in my gut that knows it’s my path. Something had started stirring in me only months before the devastating marital separation—little seeds of self-love had begun to get planted in the soil of my heart. Then, they began to germinate just at the time my whole life turned upside down and my emotional world fell apart. I knew that Source had planted this burning within me to pursue self-love. It’s been a journey—one of those that takes a lifetime or maybe longer to complete. But I’ve started it, and it’s transformed me.

      I hope this guide can give you the first few steps toward loving yourself radically and beautifully. I pray that it will open up that heart of yours and pour sweet, warm light into your being and warm you up fully from the inside out. I want you to get just a taste of the sweet peace that is beginning to permeate my being.

      I can’t help admit that I’m not there yet. I don’t come from a place of got there. Writing this book has been a self-love tutor for me, too. I want to share what’s on my heart because I believe I’m called to speak the truth. I believe it’s the message for now.

      So, it begins. The self-love journey.

      Breathe in the sweet fragrance of something your heart needs more than anything else.

      Fall in Love with Me. (You, I mean.)

      Day 1 – Put Yourself First

      Just this once. Try it.

      I’m a busy woman; I’m a single, working, homeschooling mom. This is an almost impossibility, yet it’s about survival. But more than that—it’s radical thriving.

      I’m not saying you must drop all your responsibilities and go on a twenty-day tour all over Europe, spending every last cent of your savings, forgetting about the attention your child needs with their schooling for the next few months.

      No, I’m saying—think of your needs, for a change.

      Take time out to do something just for you.

      Something you love.

      But don’t stress about it having to be something perfect. It doesn’t have to make you euphoric. It may even frustrate you because you’re trying so hard to enjoy yourself.

      Do it anyway.

      Do it often. Spend a few moments every day doing something you love, whether it’s reading that latest Mills & Boon, chilling in front of Netflix with your favorite series, or cooking up that batch of double-choc biscuits you want to inhale all in one go with your favorite café latte. Use a gorgeous coffee mug and your favorite plate.

      Or go outside on a warm summer’s night, set up a beach towel on the grass, and stare at the stars. Even if you’re in the city, you’ll still see a few from your window.

      Pamper yourself.

      I’m not saying splurging so that your finances cause you stress; I’m saying treat yourself to something so lovely and romantic—albeit small and simple—in order to fulfil that longing you have to be loved, adored, and cherished. Do it to yourself. Even if you have a fantastic partner, find the time to give yourself this gift today. Pleasure yourself. Revel in it. Find what you enjoy.

      But by all means, splurge if you can. If you wish.

      And the greatest gift you can give to yourself is to make it a habit from now on.

      Sure, you’ll have some difficult days when you don’t get a chance. That’s not for you to feel guilty about. Accept it, and plan to do it the next day. We all have very busy days at times, or days that hit us hard with challenges and experiences that leave us dry and battered. It would be wonderful if you could pamper yourself on those days, too, because it would restore you a bit, but if you can’t, no stress.

      Be your own best friend.

      Be your lover.

      Daily Affirmation: I am wholly loved and adored by The Universe. I am worth receiving everything good. I am worthy to be cherished and pampered. I am a vessel of pure love to myself and the world.

      Day 2 – Meditate

      What? You’re telling me to find time to do one more thing in my already harried and overwhelming life?

      Or: I don’t even believe in meditation. It’s only for Buddhists or New Agers.

      The reason I put this one right near the top of this journal is because…

      It really is the greatest act of self-love you will ever do.

      Sorry to burst your bubble, but self-love sometimes requires a little work.

      Although, you’ll find that meditation is the most
