Today I choose to send love and forgiveness in my direction
Today, you have the power to choose how you treat yourself. You can choose to be kind and loving towards yourself, or you can choose to be critical and judgmental. The choice is yours.
One powerful affirmation that can help you choose love and forgiveness towards yourself is, “Today I choose to send love and forgiveness in my direction.” This affirmation reminds you that you are worthy of love and forgiveness, just like anyone else.
When you choose to send love and forgiveness towards yourself, you are practicing self-compassion. Self-compassion means treating yourself with the same kindness, concern, and support that you would offer to a good friend. It means recognizing that you are human and that you make mistakes, but that those mistakes do not define you.
Sending love and forgiveness towards yourself can be challenging, especially if you have a history of being self-critical. However, with practice, it can become easier. One way to practice self-compassion is to imagine what you would say to a friend who was going through a similar situation. What words of encouragement and support would you offer them? Now, imagine saying those same words to yourself.
Another way to practice self-compassion is to practice mindfulness. Mindfulness means paying attention to the present moment without judgment. When you practice mindfulness, you can observe your thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them. This can help you become more aware of your self-talk and how it affects your mood and behavior.
Remember, choosing to send love and forgiveness towards yourself is not selfish or self-indulgent. It is an act of self-care that can help you feel more grounded, centered, and resilient. So, today, choose to send love and forgiveness in your direction. Repeat the affirmation, “Today I choose to send love and forgiveness in my direction,” as often as you need to throughout the day. You deserve it.
