♥️ Happy Valentine’s Day, dear warriors of the heart. No matter your relationship status, take a moment to honor your brave heart. Being human includes both the heartache of disappointment and the delight of being met by another. Self-love is a practice of tending to our hurts and needs so that we may stay open and receive love from the world around us. This work is heroic. ⁠ ⁠ Your Valentine’s Day Challenge is to:⁠ 🎁 Give love. Be generous with your heart. If you don’t have a special someone, find someone who could use a little extra love. Surprise them with a flower or a kind text.⁠ 🥰 Let love in. Notice the guards you put up against love. The next time someone expresses their love (in words or action), pause, take a deep breath, and give yourself time to soak in their beautiful offering.⁠ 🍃 Let go. Release any ideas of how you think your life should be at this point, and instead open to how it is. Look for the beauty in THIS moment, even if, especially if, it’s not how you imagined things might be. ⁠ ⁠ Tag someone with a ♥️ that you think is heroic.⁠ ⁠ Thank you, @najwazebian for the beautiful inspiration.
