Spirit shared an empowering idea with me that I want to pass along. They said to write a love letter to yourself.

The only rule/parameter for the letter is that everything you write is loving about and to yourself. You can handwrite it, type it, use fancy stationary or paint it on a wall. You can write it on a boat, with a goat, in a box or with a fox (hee hee!). You can write one letter or multiple letters. Whatever works for you, do it!

This letter serves a few purposes:

• It’s a reminder of the beautiful, amazing person and soul that you are
• It gets you out of your head and more into your heart
• We tend to be our harshest critics, so this letter can help you shift the energy of any self Stinkin’ Thinkin’ you’ve got going on inside you (remember, words and thoughts are energy and their vibration affects your vibration). The more fully you love yourself the more you stand in your divine truth, power and worth.
• The love we want to see and add to the world starts from within us. The love we have for ourselves is the love we radiate out to the world in equal measure.
• It’s another act of love you create in this world

When you are finished, you can:

• Place it where you can read it each day for a daily dose of love
• Tuck it away in a convenient place for any rough days when you could really use some love and kindness
• Pop it in the mail and send it to yourself. Or enlist the help of a trusted friend who can drop it (or them if writing multiple letters) in the mail and be a surprise when it arrives.
• Use a sentence or part from the letter as a mantra for yourself

The possibilities are endless! How can you use the letter(s) to serve you well?

This letter may go deep and be very personal. You don’t have to share it with anyone unless you want to. If you do share it, do so with someone who will receive it at the same level of love and share in uplifting you.

Happy writing!
