"Make love of yourself perfect. Deny yourself nothing -- give yourself infinity and eternity and discover that you do not need them; you are beyond." --Nisargadatta Maharaj
The Love You Seek
Imagine if you loved yourself fully, with the same compassion and tenderness you reserved for others. What would this look like? What would it mean? Self-love is a gift we can bestow upon ourselves each day. "As much as we say I love you to another, we can say it to ourselves. We can say these three words frequently, and we can say them with the reverence for which they are meant." In this moving essay, writer Emily Barr explores how we can turn toward ourselves with gentleness and open hearts, and the profound impact this can have on our relationships with others.
BE THE CHANGE
Write a love letter to yourself. Keep it in a place where you can read it regularly and soak in the love you bear for yourself.
