Your affirmations today are for loving self-kindness. In the Buddhist philosophy Metta Sutta, loving self-kindness is purifying our hearts of hatred, jealousy, cruelty, enmity, and grudges. It is the natural state of unconditional loving awareness found already within you. I think that beyond this philosophy or any sort of the meditation/mindfulness trend in modern wellness, there lies a timeless longing to arrive home to an unconditional state of love and enlightenment in the present moment. The yearning for peace and nonreactivity in an otherwise very chaotic and very reactive world, including our own internal world that consists of our own introspective self-dialogue and self-talk. We may tell ourselves a number of lies and narratives throughout the day without even realizing it. Sometimes when I make mistakes I immediately think to myself: oh I am so stupid why did I do that. I am working on developing more self-trust and self-worth by replacing this negative self-talk with positive self-loving kindness and affirmations. So I’ve custom crafted these for just that today. I’d like you to think of an area of your life where you may be lacking self-kindness whether that be negative self-talk, low self-worth, body image, fear or judgment aimed at yourself. I invite you to allow yourself the time to be introspective and honest with yourself where you may be lacking loving self kindness in that area of your life, you must be brutally honest with yourself to get the most out of these affirmations.
