Ten days. We are ten days in and today I'm going to ask you to do the most confronting thing in this whole challenge πΈ
I want you to look in a mirror β really look β into your own eyes. And say out loud: I love you.
I know. It might feel completely ridiculous.
It might make you cry. It might feel so uncomfortable that you want to look away after two seconds.
That discomfort is the work.
Because what it tells you is how unfamiliar it is to meet yourself with love.
How rarely you look at yourself and see someone worth loving.
Try it right now if you're somewhere you can.
Find any mirror, look into your eyes β not at your flaws, not at what you'd change, not at your skin or your hair β into your eyes. And say:
I see you. I love you. I am here for you.
If you cry, let yourself cry.
That's not weakness. That's grief releasing. That's the part of you that has been waiting a long time to finally be seen.
Do this every day if you can. It gets easier. And one day it will feel like coming home.
Today's affirmation: I see you. I love you. I am here for you π
Today's journal prompt: How did it feel to look into your own eyes and say I love you? What came up? Was it hard? Why do you think that is?
