Do you love the life you have?
 
 
 
Hey what's up hello First name / pal,
 
One last email before August is over… can you believe it?
 
I never cease to be amazed how time flies by which makes me think a little extra hard on the subject of this email today…
 
Do you love the life you have?
 
While writing my most recent blog post, I was flipping through one of my favorite coffee table books and came across this section about connecting to your soul.
 
(the book is Beautifully Brave by Sarah Pendrick and is one of my best kept secrets tbh)
 
Each chapter begins with a bravery mantra, this chapter's mantra being “I love the life I have”.
 
Which I think is a VERY bold statement! I mean, how many people do you honestly know that say they love the life they have without adding “but” or “except for” to the end?
 
Even I can't help myself but sometimes think “well I'll really be happy when …” (and I'm betting you can relate?).
 
Like I will love the life I have once I've found a job, bought a house, gotten married, etc.
 
The laundry list of goals I have is long and it can be hard to appreciate what I have now when I know there's so much more I desire.
 
Even more difficult to love my life when I'm in the in-between and facing the unknown, and no one wants to expose their lowlight reel to the world if they don't have to.
 
However, Pendrick also says that “if we celebrate ourselves in these brave moments rather than after things worked out, we would influence a new society of women embracing who they are”.
 
It can feel so vulnerable to acknowledge when things aren't in your control, not going according to your plan, and seemingly so up in the air.
 
But when you embrace it and decide to love it because it's YOUR story, then you're taking your power back from the Unknown.
 
Plus you're reminding everyone around you that it's okay to love the in-between. Life isn't just happening when things are going well or you've achieved that big goal, life is happening with every moment.
 
So stop waiting to appreciate your story and love the life you have.
 
This life is the only one you're promised and you don't want to look back at all the years you could have loved it but were waiting for something.
 
WHAT ELSE IS NEW?

This was such a fun post to write, I love mantras and manifestations in general, but these mantras for love are extra special.
 
And I should preface this by saying that yes, these are mantras to attract love BUT ALSO they are mantras to help guide you in self-love.
 
Because that's where true love starts, once you love yourself then you're open to receiving the abundance from others!
 
So check out these mantras for love and see how the universe can be working in your favor!

PSA:
I'm giving Instagram a little break right now so you might not be seeing me around much on that platform. 
 

CIAO FOR NOW,
