By loving yourself wholeheartedly, you can change the world. You become a conduit for love when you fully embrace and express your true nature—which is, and has always been, love. The more you love yourself, the more you eliminate negativity, connect compassionately with others, and become ambassadors of love in the world.
Like dropping a pebble into a pond, loving yourself creates an energetic vibration that radiates outward from your heart center and shifts everyone and everything in its path. When you emanate the highest frequency of love, you not only receive the benefits of the high vibration, but also raise the vibration of others around you. People emitting lower frequencies will rise to the occasion when in your presence by matching that higher frequency.
When you sustain self-love and compassion by being kind, nonjudgmental, and nonreactive—especially when you struggle, make mistakes, or feel unworthy—you are more likely to behave this way toward others. Such positive behavior generates universal love, inner peace, and spiritual attunement with everyone and everything.
This ripple of love begins by accepting all parts of yourself without reservation, no matter how you feel about them. If you are unwilling to do this for yourself, you cannot expect others to do it for you, and you certainly cannot do it for others.
You can wake up in the morning loving yourself, even when faced with the most challenging situations or when you feel tired or uninspired. Focus on the aspects of yourself you love rather than on those you dislike. Just imagine how one moment of self-compassion can change your entire day, and now consider how such moments, repeated over and over, could change your life and the lives of others.
Another way to foster self-love and change our world is by eliminating all of the violent thoughts, words, and actions we inflict upon ourselves. Many of us move through our days berating, shaming, and terrorizing ourselves with our thoughts in ways we would never express to anyone we love. Self-love must be the source from which all our thoughts, words, and choices come from and flow into the world.
Whether it’s a sunny day or a cloudy day, it’s essential you sustain positive thoughts, words, and energy flow. You can pause frequently as you move through any challenging situation so that you remain consciously aware of yourself, your environment, and any reactions that may arise. In this way, you not only soothe your own anger and anxiety, but refrain from doing harm to others through your reaction. In fact, simply by practicing self-love, you can leave whatever space you’re in charged with more positive energy than it contained when you arrived.
We must constantly release anyone or anything that impedes the flow of love within us, and restore peace and harmony in all aspects of our lives. When we harbor resentment, worry excessively, become angry, or feel stressed, we block the flow of energy in our bodies, especially our heart centers, and diminish our ability to express self-love to transform the world.
Begin your day by initiating self-love. Close your eyes, place a hand on the center of your chest, and focus your attention on your heart. Radiate love in the form of gratitude or compassion to yourself and then direct it out from toward others.
If as many of us as possible harnessed the energy of self-love and shifted our negative thoughts and emotions to positive ones, we would have the greatest transformational power our world ever created. Our hearts emanate a harmonic electromagnetic energy field that positively impacts all living beings and our environment. It is possible to do this simply through radiating love to ourselves and then out from our hearts, one love beam at a time. Such love beams can shift the energy of all negativity and bring about the highest and best good for all.
When you choose to love, respect, and preciously care for yourself, you set the tone for others to do the same. Practicing at least one act of kindness toward yourself every day can sustain happiness, well-being, and self-love, while giving you more energy to serve others.
When we emanate self-love, we transcend to our highest level of soul potential. We perform better at work, are more creative, are healthier, and impact our world in a positive way. It is time we realize that we are change agents of love. To transform our planet, we must elevate our vibration and seed the environment with droplets of love. By loving ourselves, we can live in harmony with nature, conserve our earth and its inhabitants, and create a universal consciousness of love.
What a beautiful and inspiring blog post Debra! I love the reminder, “When you sustain self-love and compassion by being kind, nonjudgmental, and nonreactive—especially when you struggle, make mistakes, or feel unworthy—you are more likely to behave this way toward others. ” My step dad has been hospitalized this past week and is being transferred into hospice today. I have had such a clear belief that the only thing we take with us when we die is love and so we have been loving him deeply through this transition. Love is the most powerful healing energy we have in this world and our most empowering action is to be love everywhere we go. Thank you for being a love ambassador and inspiring us with your powerful message!
Kelley thank you for your powerful wisdom and for reminding us that love is all we have and can take with us when we die. Surrounding your stepfather and family in love. <3

Thank you Suzie…I’m glad that I had you at love…Being you is elevating to a higher vibration!
As I have gotten older, and have had to face some of the physical issues that come with getting older, I have also found that the more I learn to love myself, the easier these challenges are to handle, and the more positive a message I send out to my adult daughters about how to age with grace and love.
You are a shining example of aging with grace and love Barb! Thank you for being a model to everyone including your daughters!
Beautifully said! I like how you connected self-love with positivity. It is so true how we are affected by the energy of what we are immersed in. Living in the energy of love raises the vibration of all that we do, as well as all around us. Thanks for sharing this wisdom!
Love is the highest frequency of positive energy in the universe and it affects everyone who comes into our energy space. Thank you Kris
Debra, thank you for being one of our planets Love ambassadors! I really resonate with all that you say here. I have been practicing self-love and raising my vibrational frequency to love and it has elevated my interactions with others. <3
Thank you Kara. Being a love ambassador is my soul’s path!
For several years I have been on a journey of increased personal peace. Learning to be gentle with myself has been a challenge — but definitely worth the effort. And, you’re right. It makes me kinder with others.
So happy to hear that you are being more gentle and loving with yourself Andrea. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
Great suggestions. I agree that we need to love ourselves first in order to be able to love others. You can’t give what you don’t have. As a stepmom and a stepmom coach, I other teach my clients that it’s important to focus on what’s going well instead of all the bad things that may go on within stepfamilies. This is a nice reminder of that message.
Having grown up in several stepfamilies and also having my own stepfamily. I know how important focusing on the positive (the vibration of love) is to supporting everyone in the family to thrive. Thank you
Thank you for this reminder about loving one’s self and the difference it makes.
My joy to share Meghan <3
