The 4 Fantastic A’s of Unconditional Love Experience
I used to fight for my limitations until I learned this…
After reading this article, you’ll understand what love truly is, and you’ll let go of anything else that’s stopping you from enjoying your life to the fullest.
The first time I heard about the 4 A’s of unconditional love, I thought love was sacrifice, pain, heartache, yearning, need, somewhere outside of me.

I was yearning for love from others because, you guessed it, I didn’t get much of it when I was younger.
As the years went by, I realized that no matter where I looked for love, it somehow always seemed to backfire on me.
I loved someone, got betrayed. I loved someone, got abused. I loved someone, lowered my worth.
I did many things for love because I didn’t know how to love.
What we think love is, is not what it is.
Which is probably going to make you confused for a bit, and I get it.
Love is never outside of us.
Love isn’t found in your house, your car, your partner.
Love is found within yourself, and when you do find that love for yourself, that’s when you can begin to feel the true love for life, for your partner, kids, parents, friends.
Until you love yourself, you’re selfishly loving others. It hurts to know this. I couldn’t get my head around this topic.
I thought I loved my kids by sacrificing myself.
In fact, I did the opposite. I was impatient, I was controlling, I was worrying too much…
I met a lady who was teaching mindfulness, and she brought this to my attention. “You need time for you,” she said.
I basically fought for my limitations and beliefs that I’m a mom, I must be there for my kids no matter what.
She said, “What if you took some time for yourself and tried it out?”
So I asked for help and time off, away from my kids. Sounds ridiculous, but I did, and oh boy, I found that extra special calm peaceful Emy I knew that I could be.
That’s when I understood what self-love is, and that’s when I understood that self-love isn’t selfish; it is more empowering than anything else in the world.
When you feed your soul with love, all you have left to do is to share it with all those around you who are ready to enjoy your beautiful heart.
So what are the 4 A’s of unconditional love?
Affection:
Treat yourself every now and then with what you truly desire instead of waiting for others to do it for you. “I can buy my flowers” from Miley Cyrus is the greatest example of this.
Acceptance:
Accept yourself for everything you are, you’ve done, and live life accepting its twists and turns. This helps you be patient with yourself and therefore with others.
Appreciation:
Appreciate every tiny thing you do each day. Even if one day you feel the blues, you might have brushed your teeth that day and nothing else. Appreciate each moment, and you’ll understand how to appreciate others.
Attention:
Give the attention you need for your body, mind, and soul. It’s time to pay attention to your needs and allow yourself to feel worthy and deserving of your desires.
When you give those to yourself, you know exactly how to give it to others, and you know exactly how to receive it from others as well.
