healing thoughts

at night i have been taking time to say this affirmation.
letting it really sink in:

“I am worthy of the very best in life and
I now lovingly allow myself to accept it.
As I work with this concept,
my outer effect pattern
of procrastination
will automatically begin
to fade.
As I internally create a pattern
of self worth
then I no longer have the need
to delay my good.”

~~Louise Hay

KINDNESS and SELF-LOVE

as I observe people around me, i realize
this is not an issue only i deal with. people
are not kind to themselves. they ‘beat’ themselves
up many times a day. sometimes
in a seriously intense way.

i feel what
they are looking
for
is love.
to be seen. to be able to rest in their
own worth, not having
to do or strive.

thing is, there seems to be a struggle there.
many things that
keep that self-love locked up…maybe they
got overly criticized as a kid,
their work consumes them,
they think it is arrogant or conceded,
life gave them a few knocks and
they went into
protect mode.

whatever the reason.
i wish them
love and freedom. release and peace.
i wish i could give 5 easy steps to
achieving it but i don’t even know
myself

i’m not sure what my place in
this universal
puzzle is, except to say that
i hope to pour a bit of
delight into their lives.
bring color.
bring fun.
maybe even shine back
some of their own inner magic
boy or girl back at them!

in the midst of it, i find
new ways to be kind to ME.

a few i have tried and like are:

going outside for a photo walk
drinking a really good cup of coffee
read a fun book (SARK is good for this)
writing a ‘love note’ to a friend/or my fam
say kind things to myself
be patient when i mess up (and i so do!)
hug a doggy
affirming ME
dressing comfy- and putting on my bulls eye pendant
holding my ‘miracles happen’ rock
making a new art journal page
find a new friend
eat a piece of red velvet cake (one of my faves)

*****how about sharing some of yours with me*****

daring you to be kind,
xo
