JUST ONE MORE ... philautia thing (so as to love more).
It's the year of "more" -- or at least, with regards to this ongoing special concept of mine designed so that I can try to find a way to embrace incremental change in order to empower folks [or just me] to stay positive and solution-focused in a day and age where problems often seem insurmountable, control often seems out of reach, and apathy often seems to be running rampant, it's the year of "more".
In case you've not been following, the first three months of this year of "more" focused on ways to laugh more ... but we've pivoted now to finding ways to *love* more! ("Living more" and "being happy more" are still to come.)
For this month, we're looking toward something new to me -- "philautia" love, which is designed to be the best of the best when it comes to loving yourself more (and we're talking about self-esteem and self-confidence and not anything tawdrier). The concept as sourced at the link below explains it thusly: " ... [being] able to invest themselves completely in projects and people because they do not fear failure or rejection ... of course they suffer hurt and disappointment, but their setbacks neither damage nor diminish them ... owing to their resilience, they are open to growth experiences and relationships, tolerant of risk, quick to joy and delight, and accepting and forgiving of themselves and others."

As always, over on the Facebook, I'll keep the reminders going all month long for anyone who chooses to join me in focusing on a little bit of much needed self-love. Because let's face it -- anything that increases our self-confidence and self-esteem is something worth pursuing as ... just one more ... philautia thing (so as to love more).
