We just celebrated Valentine’s Day last week. For most people, the celebration of the day is our love for others, which is so appropriate. So many times, we take other people, especially the people we’re closest to, for granted. We don’t take the time to let them know on a regular basis how much we truly and deeply love them. While every day could be Valentine’s Day, in reality it isn’t.
Don’t we sometimes take ourselves for granted too? Don’t we forget to tell ourselves how much we love ourselves? We often times are so good at reminding ourselves of our faults and shortcomings, and we ignore the good in who we are. Or, sometimes we feel that to tell ourselves how much we love ourselves we are being egotistical or narcissistic.
The reality is that we don’t give ourselves as much credit as we deserve, and we sell ourselves short. We tell ourselves that we are not deserving of heaps of love for ourselves, because if we feel we are deserving, there must be something wrong with us or we have some “unmet need” lurking out there somewhere. We neglect to offer ourselves some “self love,” and we suffer as a result. Ultimately, so many of our problems originate from self-image issues.
I am happy to say that today I am a healthy person; I am preparing for my first ever marathon! I just ran six miles yesterday, and I have run more in the past couple of weeks than I had in a week in a long time, and it feels great. It wasn’t always that way. I used to weigh 250 pounds. I was lazy, miserable, and unhealthy. Life was not as enjoyable back then. I certainly lacked self love and body love, and my suffering was tremendously great.
Having run the gamut, so to speak, of various levels of self love and body love, it provides me with an awesome perspective on how hard and how wonderful life can really be! I am so thrilled to welcome Anne-Sophie Reinhardt on to my radio show this week, because I know she offers such wonderful insight, perspective, and expertise on self love and body love, and I can’t wait to talk to her about it!
I came to know Anne-Sophie through a guest post on my friend Jodi Chapman’s blog last fall. I loved her message and visited her website. Since then, our paths have crossed across the “virtual landscape” a couple of times! We must have been destined to speak on my show! 🙂 I am thrilled to have her!

Hi Victor,
So wonderful that you are running a marathon! I ran a half a few years ago with my daughter and could believe that I actually did it, but it ended up being fun. Best of luck to you on your run and great interview with Anne-Sophie.
Cathy,
Thanks! I am looking forward to it. It’s a challenge that I am working toward, which is good for me. Thanks so much for stopping by! 🙂
I agree that most of us don’t give ourselves enough credit! I wonder why? If we’d could love ourselves more, we would all do great things!! Looking forward to hearing the interview Anne-Sophie and Victor.
