Sometimes in our demanding, distracting, and busy lives, we forget to be our own sage, advocate, and friend.  To help you remember to come back to self-trust and love, make the following ‘love note to self’ your very own.

Dearest One,

Never sell yourself short in any aspect of your life…work, career, relationships, purpose. You are here for a reason and you are here as a gift.  You may not know all the twists and turns of how, but be curious about it, because as you live your life and look back as you live it, you will see the thread –  the sacred thread that is you – and all the meaning there is to your one wonderful life and all the lives you’ve touched over time. You are magnificent already…just carry that forward and let it ripen.

Laugh at your mistakes, at your self-perceived failings…they are stepping stones to learning more about the real you and success in your life – as YOU define it!

Let your brain be your friend, but not your only friend!  Your beautiful brain interprets so many things for you, but it can get a little wild sometimes.  It’s not so great when it’s being its over-critical or over-analyzing self – but really great if it’s saving you from walking down a dangerous dark alley or getting hit by a car!

Encourage your brain to love you and support you, to do the things it was meant to do translating all of your senses.  It is so, so smart in these ways, letting you taste the sweetness of life in food or drink or the sweaty forehead of a child you love, delight in the touch of a friend or a lover, relish the beauty of the sounds and sights of nature or a man-made movie, or take in the scents of freshly baked bread, fresh air, or bouquets of roses.

Remember, though, that it is your body that is sensing this raw data – the scent, the feel, the taste, the feelings.

Let your body be your wise guide because, after all, you live this exciting and mysterious and happy and sad life through that wonderful, delightful, messy body of yours.  Treat it well, nourish it, rest it, and let it feel.  Your body is the smartest part of you, guiding you to live wholly and authentically in this world.

Listen to what your body has to say – and if you do not know how, then it’s time to learn. It will be the most valuable tool you ever acquire, guiding you to…

Come back to center,
breathe,
feel deeply,
delight in your senses,
and, most of all…
follow your sacred path and relish your own magnificent brilliance.

Love You.
