@daily meditation - to truly give and receive love - we must try to love ourselves. It's amazing how our critical mind quiets when we flood it with #approval and love. Try to catch the negative thoughts as they come and replace them with love and approval. It's a practice - and just trying makes a difference. When we come form a place of #self-compassion and acceptance, it is easier to put ourselves out there to others. Affirm yourself when negative self-talk arises. You #deserve kind words and #acceptance.
