How about a little love for this Monday?! Karen Clodfelder has a heartwarming thought about love:
As we grow older together, as we continue to change with age, there is one thing that will never change…I will always keep falling in love with you.
Don’t we all want someone who makes it easy to fall in love with again and again, and have the same in return? That’s what we’re striving for, right? Not for all of us. I think, now more than ever, we need to remind ourselves that it’s just as important to continue falling in love with ourselves too. Through challenges, change, growth, and beyond, we aren’t the same person we were two, ten, or twenty years ago. Our principles and experiences make us genuinely unique, and we deserve to be loved by ourselves unconditionally.
This week’s practice
This week, I hope you celebrate yourself. Spend a few minutes every day recognizing and acknowledging how extraordinary you are. You’ve changed, triumphed, witnessed, and accomplished so much already; you deserve so much self-respect. Give your insecurities and inner critic a break, indefinitely.
