"Love Your Soul" says the tag on my Yogi tea teabag. For the longest time I struggled with that. Then suddenly the other day while I was I was finishing up a project for one of my classes I felt a shift. To be quite honest I was really tired of my project and was just phoning it in so to speak. It really wasn't my best piece of work. As I was looking at my project a sense of awe came over me and I thought, "wow I actually made this!" A genuine appreciation for myself filled my heart. Strange huh?
I have come a long way artistically. It has been a rough bleak at times but I prevailed and really appreciated myself for that. This awakened a great sense of compassion and empathy for myself seemed out side of me-like I was another person.
I saw the importance of just sitting back every now and then and just observing ones self and just appreciating who you are and what you've done-especially when you are not quite there yet. It's a little extra gift of strength from you to you for the journey ahead. Who else,s approval could be better?
