Hi <<First Name>>, Happy Wednesday!
The theme for today's inspiration and affirmations is self-love and self-acceptance.
I've been very hard on myself in the last week or so. Meaning, some past limiting thoughts and insecurities have re-arisen and they seem to be mostly centered around the 'not ____ enough' genre.
Typically, my body manifests these 'challenging thoughts' in migraines and wooshing sounds in my brain. So needless to say, it's been painfully loud in there as of late. :-)
I'm aware that my limiting thoughts are coming from a young, fearful voice inside of me, a.k.a. my inner child. And knowing this, I've been consciously practicing observing my thoughts and loving my little girl without judgement throughout the day and during meditation.
In one of my favorite meditations, Realizing the Power of Now, by Eckhart Tolle, he says, "Whatever state is there is good enough. If you accept it, you go beyond it. If you fight it, you're stuck with it."
Well I'm willing to accept the now and be at ease with whatever is. And that's GOOD ENOUGH!
So that's all I got this week. Just practicing self-love and acceptance and giving myself permission to be just as I AM right now!
I'd love to know your thoughts, stories and experiences on self-love and acceptance <<First Name>>. Maybe you can relate to the judgemental thoughts, maybe not. It's all good. Please feel free to respond and share away.
Have a great rest of the week and weekend!
