We are magnificent beings.
Our bodies are complex, creative.
Our minds, the most powerful processors. Brilliant.
Our hearts, full of compassion, but rarely for ourselves.
We are sensitive and powerful creators, so why do we doubt ourselves?
Why are we fearful?
Why do we get trapped in old habits, negative messages, ensnared by shame?
Look in the mirror – go ahead, yeah, right now. If you don’t have a mirror handy, take a quick selfie and gaze into your own eyes.
You are the beloved. Yes, you!
Are you wondering why it matters so much to acknowledge your preciousness?
It matters because you are the love-generator in your universe.
When I take responsibility for treating myself as I would a beloved child, I increase my ability to love those around me. It happens quite organically. When love energy is created by us for ourselves, we hit everyone around us with it. That’s WAY better than walking around hitting people with fear, worry, and judgement.
So, take a little time to look at yourself with love today. Do something that delights the child in you. YOU are SO worth it!
Here’s a little poem inspired by my own journey to self-love.
“The Gift”
Washed in the gratitude
Of knowing love,
The petals of my heart
Are free to see the sun,
To bask in the light
Truth of my
Own preciosity.
