š š It happens to be Valentineās Day. I invite you to consider that we and our relationships are diamonds multifaceted aspects of love of which ramantic love is a peice, like Bell hooks book āAll About Loveā. If we can recognise this we can recognise that our days like diamonds may be a mixture of the good and bad and maybe we can manage this duality even on our most difficult days. Maybe we can consider that even though there are things we donāt like about ourselves, like the light, grey and dark facets of a daimond are many different small and big things to love. That in our relationship with ourselves we set the tone for our relationship with the world others. So however, your Valentineās Day is going I encourage you to treat yourself as well as whatever you do for others. If you canāt be kind to yourself, be neutral; and you feel lost ask yourself the question ā how do I want to exist today, what face of the š is most appealing and manageable like simply taking a walk or a tea break, kind or neutral comforting words to self āyour okā?ā, and say to yourself āIām doing my bestā. Perhaps these can be the seedlings of self love. Enjoy your day.š± š„°
