Open Your Heart This Valentine's Day!
D ear ,
Love takes so many forms. I'm convinced that it takes a balance of love in our lives for us to thrive. Despite all of the attention on romantic love right now, love for self, for those around us, for the world and, most importantly, love of life, are all gifts to celebrate on Valentine's Day.
I encourage you to take these words from Morrie Schwartz to heart...
"Keep your heart open for as long as you can, as wide as you can, for others, and especially for yourself."
Here are a few simple tips to you can use to connect to the love in your world.
- Go out of your way to be kind to someone who needs it.
- Make a list of things you're grateful for.
- Hug someone you love for no reason.
- Practice random acts of kindness.
- Exchange "you're special because..." statements.
- Laugh or sing out loud.
Have a wonderful holiday! |
