The faith required in self-love is what enables you to allow your feelings, without lapsing into anxiety or judgment. Centeredness and calmness contain and support your emotions and afford you some objectivity. You know that despite this, “I’ll survive.” This objectivity permits you to comfort yourself. Naturally, there are times when you have no objectivity and no faith, but you continue to strive for it. Spending time alone with yourself is essential, and a meditation practice is helpful in developing the ability to witness and contain your emotions.
