Are you being loving to you? Do you take time for you? Or do you grab a coffee and hit Facebook? It’s okay sometimes I succumb. I open the phone and something pops up and I am down the rabbit hole! I was asked the other day how I started my day.
This was what I shared:
- First I check in, while still in bed with my joy level for the day – today it was 82
- Then I get up and at the moment I oil pull
- Make hot lemon for Des and I , plus a turmeric drink and lemon for – me building my auto immune system after 2 viruses this year.
- The I draw a Heart Whisper oracle card – sometime 3 as I did today
- I then journal on the cards and allow my heart whispers to guide me
- Meditation time and prayers.
- Then sometimes I paint as I did today completing a client’s heartscape or read
- Beach for a 30-40 minute walk and swim in the sea
- Then my back exercises and 3 days a week I do aquarobic back exercises either in the sea if the tide is high enough or the pool
This centres and grounds me.
Yes, it does mean I start my day by loving me. This was a practice I started on many years ago and really expanded on as part of my self-love healing journey. The odd day I miss I do notice a difference and I am not grounded, especially if I open my computer or phone before my spiritual time. My loving me time. The oracle card I draw usually is reflective of what is going on for me. I had woken today in joy and feeling on purpose when I drew the happiness card the title for this post came to me. It was this card that sparked a joyful happy state as I began my day and was reinforced as the day began. The video ( 3 minutes) shares this with you at my happy place.
Love your morning ritual Suzie.
Thanks Elle xxoo
This is such an inspiring post Suzie. Love your self love practice first thing in the morning.
Thanks Zeenat- time to get back to it xx
Very helpful suggestions, Suzie. I can see where starting a day by extending love to yourself would set a good tone for the what’s to follow. I do a little of this every morning in my meditation time.
Great Debbie, I think as long as we give ourselves some me time each day we can be more in flow xxoo
What an inspiring morning practice, Suzie. Do you ever feel nervous about spending so much time on your morning practice, it looks quite lengthy. I have a good morning practice too.
Thank you Sandra, Not any more as the days I do this my day seems to be more in flow. Funny the new business Des and i are doing has you spending more time on you. I have let go of the pool exercises now, so that takes 20 mins off 🙂
I admire the way you have handled challenging situations through finding your routines. It’s not easy to identify when you are missing self-love, and even when you do, building it up takes time. Hats off for your progress 🙂 !!
Thanks Maria Your comments make my heart sing. yes i am making progress xx
Suzie you help us realize how important it is for us to love our selves first, and even first thing in the morning. Thank you for the reminder.
Thanks Kat, yes we all need the reminder, me included as life gets busy 🙂
Thanks for sharing Suzie, we all need to know how to love ourselves more!
My joy Pre.kaya let when we love ourselves unconditionally magic happens?
