We came into this world loving and accepting fully who we were. We intuitively knew our worth, and believed we deserved to be happy and loved. As the outside world influenced us, we started to lose that intuitive sense of worthiness, and began to compare and judge ourselves to those around us.

When we find ourselves criticizing or hating, it is because in that moment, we are disconnecting from the person we were born to be. There is a gap between who we really are, and who we are choosing to be, and that causes negative feelings. By choosing love, we are choosing to connect with who we intended to be, and who we all are at our core. The more we practice those feelings of love, the more we experience it in our daily lives. Just like with anything else, the more we practice doing something, the more natural and effortless it becomes.

What can you begin to implement in your daily life so that you can start feeling more love and connecting with yourself? Read, draw, positive affirmations, a walk in nature, a bubble bath? What makes you feel good? Doing more of what makes you feel good puts you in a state that allows you to be receptive of more like feelings and circumstances, and brings you into alignment with who you truly are.

Mindartists tip: Consciously do something every day this week that will bring you those feelings of love.
