We do not have to earn love.
You are worthy of your own love.
I really would like for you to let that sink in and let that root down.
So if you are able to place one hand over your heart and one hand on your belly.
Take in a slow breath and a longer breath out.
And in this moment of quiet,
Bring to mind one way,
Just one,
That you've been trying to earn love.
Maybe you've been over-functioning,
Over-accommodating,
Silencing your own needs,
Or caring more than what is yours.
Just notice it without judgment.
And then gently say to yourself,
I see this part of me that is trying so hard to be loved.
And then on a deep exhale,
Saying,
I release the need to earn what already belongs to me.
Now imagine roots growing from the soles of your feet into the earth.
You are steady.
You are unwavering and unapologetic.
Let your spine lengthen slightly toward the sky.
And allow these words to sink deep into you.
May I trust the season I am in.
May I honor the wisdom of my body.
May I allow love to meet me without performance.
May I root before I bloom.
May I stand without earning my place.
Let those words settle in.
Deep breath in.
Exhale out.
And now ask yourself,
If I truly trusted that I am already worthy of love,
What would shift for me this week?
Would you rest?
Would you speak one honest truth?
Would you set a boundary?
Or would you stop explaining yourself?
Choose one small act of self-trust.
One rooted decision.
It may not be dramatic.
It may not be performative.
Relax.
Just steady.
Feel yourself standing strong like the mother tree.
She might be and a little worn.
But she is wise,
Just like you.
And she is present.
Please remember,
Sensitive soul,
You are worthy of your own love.
Not because you proved it.
Not because you mothered well enough.
And not because you held it all together.
But because you are here.
And that is enough.
It will always be enough.
Sensitive soul,
May you root deeply in whatever season you are in.
As always,
Blessings on your healing journey.
