How to write yourself a Love letter ?

Love feels good.

It soothes, it reassures, it fills, it nourishes.

Would you like more?

More love in your life?

What if love were already there?

Lack of love is an illusion.

If love weren’t already there, we wouldn’t suffer*.

You don’t have to believe me…

But I can help you reconnect with that love.

I suggest you write yourself a love letter, an exercise I've already told you about.

HERE'S HOW TO WRITE 

a love letter 💝  to yourself 

Take a blank sheet of paper and your favorite pen.

If thoughts like “I don't know what to say… This feels weird…” pop up, that's normal. Just let them pass.

The point is to speak to yourself with honesty and kindness, straight from your heart.

You will know your head is taking over if you start hearing reproaches. Don't listen to it! It's getting in the way of the wonderful resources you have within you.

Start with something like:

"My dearest Chantal" (if your name is Chantal...) My dearest + your first name or a nickname that makes you melt.

1. Acknowledge what you're going through, that it's not always easy. Acknowledge all the efforts you're making. You're doing your best.

2. Be aware of your strengths, your qualities, what you've already achieved. What have you been able to develop over the years? What successes, however small, can you attribute to yourself? Celebrate your qualities and how far you've already come.

3. Encourage yourself. What can you count on? What are your resources?

Choose to trust in what's beautiful and powerful in you, in your resources that only you know or suspect.

Tell yourself what you would say to someone you love. 

Tell yourself the words you would like to hear.

Offer yourself those words.

This letter doesn’t need to be perfect. It’s simply there to remind you that someone loves you deeply…

And that love is always there.

_______

After Writing Your Letter:

1. Thank yourself 🙏

2. Slip this letter into an envelope and keep it where you can see it several times a day (handbag, desk drawer, car door).

Remember: someone loves you.
