‘Tis the season for giving, which can be an opportunity for practicing The Art of Radical Self Love. Put your health and well-being at the top of your gift list.
Choose to free yourself from the stress of false urgency. Put your expectations into perspective. Set your intentions for benevolent outcomes. Maintain your awareness of the love that radiates from your heart. Invite Life Force Energy to guide your actions and words. Use unconditional love to keep your energy positive. Be aware of your power to breathe thoughts of love, peace, joy and healing into the world. Cultivate your sense of humor. Visualize the beauty that surrounds you when it seems obscured by your physical senses. Be pro-active in forgiving yourself and kind in your judgement of others. Affirm that all is well.
Sometimes we can get lost in materialism, thinking that stuff will bring happiness. But it is really the expression of love that brought forth the stuff that generates happiness.
It is truly the thought that counts.
So, count your blessings and share with others from your bounty. And continue to love the world back to health, one person at a time, starting with yourself. It is the gift that doesn’t stop giving.
Happiest of holidays. Be well. Share love.
