About the Author Rita Loyd
What is unconditional self-love?

~ Unconditional self-love is to love ourselves unconditionally no matter what condition our life, our health and our body are in. (There is a difference between self-love and unconditional self-love. It is easy to love our self when everything is great but the true test of unconditional self-love is to be able to still love our self when life is difficult.)


~ Unconditional self-love is treating our self, speaking to our self and envisioning our self… with gentleness… kindness… and respect.


~ Unconditional self-love is to no longer avoid, neglect, postpone, distract or numb ourselves from paying attention to what is going on inside of us, physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally but to REALIZE and to ADDRESS all needs of self~ Spirit, Mind and Body, with compassion and kindness to the best of our ability.


~ Unconditional self-love is a day-to-day ever changing and evolving process. It is like a flower that opens and closes with our awareness.


~ Unconditional self-love is about freeing ourselves from self-inflicted suffering. This suffering is created when we treat, speak and envision ourselves with anything that is less than love. Self-inflicted suffering has no merit. It only makes a difficult situation worse. It also drains our energy and diminishes our sense of self-confidence. Here are some of the ways I have unconsciously inflicted suffering upon my self:  I have repeatedly opened my heart and shared my feelings with people who I knew were unable to be supportive but I did it anyway because I “wished” they could be supportive. ~ I have held unrealistic expectations of others by expecting others to always do and say the right thing ~ I have insisted in my mind that life should always be fair ~ I have scared myself with thoughts of worry, fear and panic ~ I have punished myself with thoughts of shame, guilt, or embarrassment ~ I have scolded myself with thoughts of critical judgment ~  I have spoken to myself with words of self doubt, anger and negativity ~ I have held onto superstitious beliefs  ~ and I have deprived myself of hope.
