10 Ways to Love yourself a bit more



What comes first: happiness or loving yourself more?

Who knows?
Not I, and have fun with this list I jotted last Monday when doing one of my favorite "life flowing" activities: setting the timer for 22 minutes and writing "whatever."


1. Walk. Mindfully. Outside.

2. Sit at the edge of your chair, relax, rock your tush/ pelvis/ belly forward and back and let your spine follow. Enjoy this.

3. Think about flying. Not in a plane, but as if you had wings and could do the flying thing for awhile.

4. Say thanks to 3 things every hour. Aloud.

5. Play with your attention. Shift from awaring your right hand to awaring your left foot. From right knee to left elbow. From nose to toes. Play with choices and the magic of moving attention. See if you can go a step back from this and be aware of having awareness.

6. Wonder: who am I, really?

7. Do #2 above and add some sort of breathing pattern that feels good.

8. Think of things you like to do. Make a date with you know who to do one of them soon.

9. Write a love letter, to yourself.

10. Mail it. (Mindfully)
