You Deserve To Give Yourself The Love You Want To Receive From Others
Brooke Lyn Landon

At our core, we are all beings of light and love, and deserve to tend to ourselves so that we can shine like the beings we intended to be. Through the experiences and contrast in our lives, many have developed beliefs and thought patterns that often hold us back from being and attracting the love we wish to receive. We attract what we are, so the only way to get the love we desire, is to be the love!

Sometimes, on a subconscious level, we sabotage the love we give and receive by our limiting beliefs that we are not this enough, or that enough, to be worthy of something. These thoughts and beliefs emit energy that attract like energy, so the world will continue to validate whatever beliefs it is that we dominantly hold. It is entirely possible to change our beliefs and thoughts by focusing on what is it is that we want, and being the love we want to attract by loving ourselves, and knowing we are worthy.

That being said, there is power in taking the time to become aware that we have these limiting beliefs, and discover what they are causing us to do. We can gain clarity on our limiting beliefs by looking at the patterns of the people we've attracted into our lives, and writing down what they've done, how that affected us, and what it influenced us to believe and become more of.

When we take the time to be conscious about our limiting beliefs, it gives us the opportunity to let it go, and detach ourselves from that story we've thought to be the truth about ourselves for years. "Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it" -Rumi We are worthy as we are! It's time to acknowledge that and seek the truth so that we can emulate our worthiness and attract what we deserve!

Mindartists tip: Write down the people in your life, why they've upset you, their affect on you, and what you felt as a result. Ex:

Who? Ex's name

Why? Didn't show me enough love/ respect

Affect: Self worth

Result/limiting belief: Unworthy/not enough

Ask and give yourself permission to release those limiting beliefs so you can break down those barriers and make room for all of the love within you to shine through!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
