Extend the love, my birthday and Valentine’s Day campaign.
Dear readers,
‘For me, Valentine’s Day has always been a double celebration. Besides the romance, it is also my birthday! This year I was inspired to do something special and extend the love. Instead of focusing on the love for others, I would like to talk about the love for yourself. After all, how nice is it to pamper yourself on your birthday and on Valentine’s Day?’
We live in a world in which we are often reminded of the love for others, but the love for ourselves is sometimes forgotten. Self-love is the basis of every Connection. How can we love others if we do not love ourselves first?
Music also comes into play here. ‘Love is in the air’ by John Paul Young is a song that I have cherished for many years. In my younger years, we danced and sang along at the ‘t Zeepaardje, club ’68 and the Bob discos in Noordwijk. The memory that love is everywhere, including within ourselves. And that is exactly what I want to share in this blog: how you can increase and prolong your love for yourself, not just on Valentine’s Day, but all year round. Just listen: [link to the song]
My own story
‘I remember a Valentine’s Day when I felt sad and lonely because I didn’t have a partner. Until I realised that the most important person in my life was ‘myself’! That day I decided to pamper myself and do what I wanted to do. My journey to self-love had begun.
Who am I?
For those who don’t know me yet: ‘Hola, I’m Shakti Alexandra. I believe that deep down everyone longs for connection: connection with themselves, with others and with life. Sometimes, due to certain situations such as stress, trauma, relationship problems or simply the daily grind, we can lose that connection. This can make you feel closed off, causing love to seem to disappear and the fire to go out.
My passion is to help people restore that connection. I offer various possibilities to get to know yourself better, deepen your relationships and bring passion back into your life through tantra, coaching, massage, chakra dance, workshops, VIP intensives and day or overnight retreats.
Self-love: the basis of every connection
‘My birthday has always been a celebration for me. But not just because it’s my birthday, but also because it gives me an extra opportunity to focus on loving myself.
Fun fact: I was actually due on Valentine’s Day, but as curious as I am, I came into the world 2 hours early, on the 13th. That is why I have been celebrating my birthday on 13 and 14 February for years.’
I still remember the great parties in Belgium, where I felt so happy and free. For example, I experienced fun Valentine’s parties in the late ‘80s and ’90s, especially in clubs like IT in Amsterdam and Boccaccio, La Roca and Zillion in Belgium. On 13 February, I was handed a bottle of champagne on arrival and thus ushered in my birthday, and this went on for 24 hours. I celebrated my birthday dancing and still love to dance.
I would like to share that feeling with you, because self-love is our birthright.
Valentine’s Day is a day to reflect on love and to honour each other. Think of a kind gesture, a (homemade) gift, a romantic dinner or some other token of appreciation. But what about love for yourself? Self-love is perhaps the most important form of love there is. It is the basis from which all other connections stem. Love therefore always begins with yourself!
Self-love does not mean that you are selfish or narcissistic. It means that you value and respect yourself, with all your strengths and weaknesses. It means that you take good care of yourself, both physically and mentally. And it means that you accept yourself as you are, without comparing yourself to others.
Why is self-love so important?
- Feeling better about yourself: If you love yourself, you feel happier, more confident and more balanced.
- Healthy relationships: Loving yourself enables you to have healthy relationships with others. Your self-esteem is high and you do not accept bad treatment.
- Resilience: Self-love helps you deal with setbacks and challenges. You know that no matter what happens, you can always count on yourself.
- Personal growth: Self-love motivates you to develop yourself and reach your potential. You dare to try new things because you believe in yourself.
How can you work on your self-love?
- Be kind to yourself: Talk to yourself as you would talk to your best friend. Avoid being critical and judgemental of yourself, focus on your positive qualities.
- Good self-care: eat healthily, exercise regularly and get enough rest. Treat yourself to something nice every now and then. Do something that gives you energy and pleasure or give yourself a present.
- Accept yourself: Everyone has imperfections. Learn to fully accept yourself, with all your faults, flaws and shortcomings. Don’t hide these parts of yourself, as this will cost you a lot of energy.
- Quality time: Make time for activities you enjoy, both alone and with others. This will help you recharge your batteries and relax.
- Ask for help: If you are experiencing problems with self-love, don’t hesitate to seek help. A coach or therapy session can be a tremendous support.
