Another reminder, this
self-love revolution came from Marin Bach-Antonson, who you can learn more
about here.
This beautiful woman came to me through Kim Salter who facilitates the
Nashville Sister Circle I talked about last week. A lot of this is copied
directly from Marin's emails, so I'm not going to take any credit for it other
than sharing it with you and adding my little comments here and there about my
own experience!
Yesterday we held sacred
space to honor our vulnerable “truth.”
Of course this isn't
TRUTH - the truth is we are all divinely perfect in every possible way.
What we shared was the
authenticity of our feelings and those deep parts of ourselves that feel
disconnected from wholeness. So why
share "negative" things during a 7 day self-love journey?
Well first, I believe
there is no negative.
Second, because naming
the "fear" is actually an essential piece for lasting transformation
and self-love. We MUST be able to come
into resonance with the parts of ourselves that feel imperfect, invalid and
scared. If we neglect or fight those
parts (as I have for years) transformation cannot take place. Period.
So the self-love
revolution is an opportunity for us to connect with and love back the parts of
ourselves that we have disowned.
What parts are you
willing to love?
Here is today's wisdom: Love it first and it will change.
Ex) I am willing to love my belly.
I am willing to love the
part of me that feels small when I'm around beautiful people
I am willing to love the
part of me that procrastinates.
Love yourself back to
wholeness.
I want to invite you to
move through your day today with an "I am WILLING mindset".
Today's Invitation: A
Self-Love Exploration
Finish these sentences
for yourself in a journal:
If I truly loved myself
I would start __________________________.
If I truly loved myself
I would stop _____________________________.
If I opened my heart up
wide to myself it would say __________________________.
Feel free to share your
answers here in the comments, with your group of friends or on your Facebook
page.
Today's 2nd
Invitation: Choose a Self-Love theme
Song and DANCE!!!!!
Did you know that one of
the best ways to shift out of a fear mindset and release anxiety is actually to
move your body? Movement instantly
changes your physiology! That's why
working out is so effective for depression.
Today I want to invite
you to choose a self-love theme song or maybe even a short self-love playlist
and to DANCE at least once today!!!!!
Dance the "I am
willing to love myself dance"
Dance it for you, your
daughters, your friends, your sisters and for all women everywhere on the
planet.
Let your dance be your
prayer.
Let it be a powerful
declaration.
Let it move the fear for
you and for us all.
Choose songs that really
light you up and speak to your soul; songs that you can unleash, expand, awaken
and explode into; songs that lift your heart and help you feel alive.

Today’s 3rd
Invitation:
If we are truly going to
leave a mark and make a difference as the songs says, we have to put what we do
and who we are into BOLD ACTION. Start
by making a choice. Take all of yourself
out into the world today. Stand up, stand strong, open your heart and let your
self-love BEAM. BE a force and a model
for self-love through your eyes, your smile, your gestures and your words.
You are powerful beyond
compare and when you choose to practice self-love and em-BODY it....oh! The possibilities!
Much love,
Marin and Emily Rose
