“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.” – Buddha
With February being all about love, it is so easy to express our love to those that mean the most to us. In some respects, that’s what is easy and doable it would seem, but before we can really do that, we have to look inside and show love to ourselves first.
So for today, I’d like to offer you the idea of taking some time to celebrate all that is you! To shower your love on you!
And what better way to begin to do that than to write. We easily write to another person, whether it is a heart-felt note or sentiments perfectly written in a store bought card.
What better subject is there to write about than you? And who knows you better than you do? Just a few short comments and reflections upon everything that is wonderful and makes you the person that you are could be the one exercise that you need to do that can give you so much in return. And if this feels uncomfortable at first, five minutes is all that you need!
On a blank sheet of paper… write the nicest, most loving, compliments you can muster up about yourself! Don’t shy away. Write the words that have the most meaning to you and reflects your love.
Take it a step further and when you are done, fold it up, put it in an envelope addressed to yourself and ask someone you trust (you don’t have to tell them what is inside) to mail it to you at some later date in the future. It doesn’t matter what date that they decide just that they mail the note to you.
