Lesson 320: Every Time You Exist in Love...

… it opens avenues for you to get to love once again. Through practises such as meditation or prayer, you can have direct connection to the Divine and therefore hold highest vibration of love. This is something you have to do for yourself. No one can pray or meditate for you. The way you connect to the Divine is solely your connection. Today we are asked if we meditate or pray, and to know that this is the path to love.

I have never thought of prayer or meditation to be a path to love. I meditate on occasion but not often as I should. I think I can spare 5-10 minutes every day from this day forward to meditate to open myself up more and be more self-loving. I do pray every day. When I am in bed, I go over all the things that I am grateful and thankful for that occurred during the day. It is quite fulfilling doing this every day. I also send love out to others that need more help than I do. I am always thinking about those that have it tougher than myself, so I am always hoping that they get the love and support that they need, whoever they are. I didn’t know by having my own practises in this way that it’s a path for me to love. Does this mean if I meditate regularly that I can have a deeper connection to love? I guess I will find out.

Day 320 - A Year to Clear - Look in the Mirror

Lesson 320: Look in the Mirror

Today we are to look into the mirror for a minute and notice all the commentary you have towards yourself. Let the thoughts come but don’t categorise them into bad or good thoughts. Do not judge them at all. Once the minute is over, notice how you feel.

It’s odd because for some reason a few days ago, I said to myself that I have to stare myself in the mirror and tell myself what I am grateful for, so to have this lesson pop up isn’t a coincidence.

When I looked at myself in the mirror, I noticed my tiredness. I don’t like the imperfections on my face and I notice that I am aging. I notice the oiliness of my face. I see the loneliness in my eyes. I have the thought that I don’t like the look of me at the moment.

I noticed that I need to be less self-critical. I need some more self-love. I feel bad of myself for having such thoughts towards myself. I do not have these thoughts towards my friends and family, so why am I having them towards myself. It makes me sad. I need to believe that I am beautiful the way others see. But I need to truly believe these words. Something to really work on.

This task can be so challenging. It’s time to do away with negative thoughts towards self.
