There are many ways that we can take care of ourselves and express self-love. We can read uplifting poetry, pamper ourselves with massage, take long walks in nature, or reach out to a friend (or therapist) for support. But many have discovered that meditating on self-love allows them to reconnect with themselves remember that they are worthy of love.
Meditating on self-love gives us permission to get real and vulnerable with ourself. Sitting with our thoughts and feelings, rather than pushing them away, is itself an act of love. When we focus on our heart as we meditate, we are able to create a compassionate space from which we can feel, without judgement, whatever it is we need to feel. During this time we are not beating ourselves up about whatever we think we did wrong or however we think we can’t “measure up.” We am simply allowing myself to be human.
