Can you learn to love and accept yourself in each moment?

Can you learn to love and accept yourself in each moment, even when it feels tough?

Today, I found myself paralysed by the passage of time, feeling as though I had accomplished nothing. I was caught in a relentless flight mode, unable to put on the brakes, frantically trying to make up for lost time, yet still, nothing got done. Here I was, on a journey of self-love and acceptance, yet on this path, I was met with harsh self-judgment and criticism.

If we truly loved and accepted ourselves, would we be questioning and judging our present moment? Those moments when we get caught in the illusion of our own minds, paralysed, stuck, consumed by overwhelm. What if we just accepted what is? What if we just stepped outside of fear and anxiety, and decided to tune back into the love, and to learn through acceptence? Our mind is like a radio, with many different stations. If we turn down the volume of the critical mind, or mute it, and then tune into the frequency of the inner self, what would we hear?

Energy hack to tune into the frequency of love and acceptance:

  1. Find a quiet space and take three deep breaths.
  2. With your eyes closed, tap your heart three times.
  3. Say: "Heart, can you show me what it feels like to be in the vibration of love and acceptance? Give me an experience of it now so I can feel it in my body."

Notice what you feel and stay in that frequency for a few minutes.

In this sacred act of tapping into our heart's wisdom, we invite a deeper connection with our true essence and to love. We allow ourselves to be guided by the gentle whispers of our soul, rather than the harsh critiques of our mind. Each tap is a reminder that within us lies an infinite well of love and acceptance, waiting to be accessed.

Imagine the heart as a divine compass, always pointing us towards our highest good. When we tune into its frequency, we begin to hear the melodies of self-compassion, the harmonies of inner peace, and the symphony of unconditional love. This is the music of our true nature, a reminder that we are inherently worthy, just as we are.

In moments of self-doubt and overwhelm, let us remember to pause and listen to this inner symphony. Let us embrace the present moment with open arms, knowing that each experience, whether perceived as good or bad, is a part of our sacred journey. By doing so, we cultivate a deeper sense of self-love and acceptance, allowing us to navigate life's challenges with grace and resilience.

So, the next time you find yourself caught in the whirlwind of self-judgment, take a moment to tap into your heart. Ask it to show you what it feels like to be in the vibration of love and acceptance. Trust that the answers you seek are already within you, waiting to be discovered. And remember, you are always worthy of love, just as you are.
