ENAMORED

en-am-ored (e-nam-ord), verb used with object

1. To fill or inflame with love (to be enamored of someone …)

2. to charm or captivate.

Origin 1350-1400; Middle English enamouren < Old French enamourer.

Oh, the romance of it all. To be enamored of a brilliant mind, of a beautiful woman, of a charming man. It’s the stuff of poetry, of Shakespearean sonnets, of modern-day writers spilling their souls to their beloveds.

It all seems so very flowery and a little soft-focused. When it comes to ourselves, there are usually more hard edges and primary colors.
So here’s a thought. Get past the flowers and the soft-focused romance and jump right in. Become enamored of something this year; take that plunge. Except, well, there’s just this one little thing.
I think you should become enamored of yourself.

Yeah, make 2013 the year of you. Not in any narcissistic, self-indulgent way. I’m talking about really, truly loving who you are, respecting who you’ve been, and experiencing who you are becoming. Honor what makes you unique. Care for your own happiness, and embrace your own wisdom. Make good choices that hurt no one else but that are right and resonant for you.

The funny thing is this: when you love yourself – unconditionally with no strings attached – you’ll discover that the world loves you back. You’ll realize that there’s plenty of love to go around, and that you can’t keep it bottled up inside, anyway, so it bubbles out to others. You’ll find that you extend the same love and respect you have for yourself to family, friends, and, yes, even strangers.

What a difference that makes.

So do it. Become enamored of yourself. Be your own valentine, and treat yourself like a treasured, important, well-loved person.

You know, there’s a reason the airlines tell passengers to take care of their own oxygen masks before helping someone else. Think about it.
