I woke up this morning knowing today was going to be different. Jumping out of bed with a smile on my face, I got ready for my day.

As I brushed my teeth, I couldn’t help but smile at the beautiful woman I had become.

I washed my face with care as I caressed my delicate face. How beautiful I thought, as I continued to wash my face.

As I put on makeup and put on hair gel, I was Mesmerized by the beautiful soul that I saw staring back at me in the mirror, it wasn’t about the story that had gotten her right there.

No it wasn’t even about the qualifications or the success she had already achieved at the moment… it was about her. The way her eyes sparkled as she smiled. The way that she moved, the way that she talked.. I realized.. I had fallen in love with the woman staring back at me in the mirror. I fell in love with everything about as she began transforming all of her pain into positive healing for others.

The world sees her as this healer but I see her as the love of my life. I am so happy to be here in this lifetime as this beautiful soul offering the beautiful love and compassion that pours out of my overfilling cup.

Struggling with self love?

When your in the shower, try spending extra time focusing on washing every part of your body. As you do this, handle it with care as if this was someone else you were bathing. This technique adds a few extra minutes in the shower, but as the days go on you begin to realize how much you love parts of you.

If this technique starts triggering body image feelings, ask yourself why this coming up? What is the origin of your feelings? Then begin to create a routine that will help you start to overcome those feelings even if it’s something you do for 5 mins a day.

You are worthy of the love you desire… but first give that love to you.
