Healing & Growth

Hi, welcome back to your Daily Mindfulness. In today's session, we're going to talk about healing and self-love. I'm going to start with a bold statement. There is no amount of achievement, healing, or growth that will make you any more worthy of love than you are right now. Let's explore why that is.

One could argue, and I would argue, that this is more of a spiritual perspective because the reality is the outside world's perception of our "worthiness" of love is often if not always conditional. And so our big work in the world then is to see ourselves and others through the lens of love and wisdom, to see and connect to our inherent worthiness that is no one's right. More than it is our own. That's the more spiritual perspective. Interestingly, my experience is that embracing this sentiment of our inherent self-worth from the inside out, allows us to receive more love from the outside in.

In other words, embodying our inherent self-worth makes us more lovable to other people. And I believe that happens because we're giving the other person permission to connect to their inherent worthiness. They're better able to love themselves by feeling how you give yourself permission to love yourself. But your worthiness of love can't change. It's already here, and it has as big of an open door as there could possibly be.

So see if you can connect to that in your day and in your life. You don't need permission from anyone to be worthy of love. It was given to you at birth. And our big work is reconnecting to that over the course of our lifetime. Thank you for your practice.

I'll talk to you in the meditation and until then take care.
