A love list ignites body love & fulfillment
“I realized that being grateful to my body was key to giving myself more love.” ~ Oprah Winfrey
This past week (while preparing for and sharing the Body Love Sale), I have once again been reminded of the POWER of love.
The power of loving your body, yourself and those around you . . . but also the power of love IN ACTION. Meaning fueling what you DO, what you SAY, how you THINK, what you EAT . . . with the intention of love.
This sounds really simple, and yet, if I were to ask you “what do you really love?” or “what to do you love to do?” Can you rattle off an AUTHENTIC list of 10 or more? Or do you get stuck wondering “what do I REALLY love?”
I was asked this question last week, and had that moment of hesitation and questioning. I realized that in that moment I was NOT in my heart, I was not FEELING “the love”. Once I took a pause, a deep breath and dropped into my heart, that’s when the list began to flow with grace and ease.
Why am I sharing this with you? Because this month about Body Love – really, unconditionally loving yourself and your body.
What I discovered when I let my “Love List” flow, was that it was in this space that magic started to happen, and my love, inspiration and opportunities began to grow. This exercise of connecting to what I truly love literally opened the door to more self-confidence, pleasure, relaxation, creativity, peace and prosperity opportunities.
(See my personal “love list” below!)
Why?
Law of attraction, baby! Like attracts like. : )
If you can connect with what you love, you are opening the energetic doors to invite even MORE of what you love and desire to flow in.
The next important step is to then to commit to DOING and including these things that you love DAILY.
What’s so interesting is that you may discover that you are not doing the things you love to do! I found this to be the case for myself.
Why?
Fear, resistance, limiting beliefs, habit . . . I’ve run up against them ALL, which is why I can share openly with you about this.
Your Body Love Assignment
- Ask yourself: “What do I REALLY love?” “What do I really LOVE to do?”
- Start writing your list. If you get stuck, take at least 2 deep breaths, close your eyes and tune in.
- Choose at least ONE item to incorporate daily. If it requires getting outside support, then schedule the next step NOW (i.e. purchasing something, signing up for a class, making a call, etc.)
