SL 365 | Day 30 | "Self-Love doesn't Swindle"

Do you have anxiety, or are you often worried? Are you often uncertain, which leads to anxiety and/or worry? While this is totally normal given the unprecedented times we live in, being anxious, worried, and uncertain don't lead to a healthy self-love practice. When we're in these states of mind, we are expending all our mental energy on THEM...not on loving ourselves. The strategy for this challenge is to ground ourselves in reality, to remind ourselves of what is true. One way you can do this is by checking in, non-judgmentally, with your sense: what can you see, smell, hear, taste, and touch? Those things are true. Thoughts are not always true! When you're anxious, practice a strategy that brings your mind back to reality. And show yourself even more love, patience, compassion, and understanding until the anxiety/worry/uncertainty has gone away.
