You,
My dear friend,
Are worthy of life-enhancing dividends.
But in order to get them,
You have to invest in yourself.
How is this done?
Let me start with this analogy.
When I was a child,
I had a piggy bank,
And I would put the portion of my allowance that I didn't spend in it.
I never thought about those coins until I decided to open it up from time to time.
And I was astounded by how much was there.
Consider yourself a piggy bank.
You invest in yourself by first loving yourself and showing kindness to yourself.
With that as a baseline,
Consider how you are doing so.
You invest in yourself each time you engage in an activity that you're passionate about,
Regardless of how much time you spend doing that at any given interval.
You invest in yourself when you practice any form of self-care,
Be it mental or physical.
Making your own choices is also a huge investment.
Life offers us many invitations,
So accepting or declining them for our personal well-being is very important.
In this scenario,
It's determining how much of your allowance goes into your personal piggy bank.
Your investment is sound and can never be devalued.
Close your eyes for a few moments.
Take several deep breaths.
With each inhale,
Concentrate on your self-worth.
With each exhale,
Release the hustle and bustle of your day.
This is your time.
Consider how you want to invest in yourself.
If only just for this moment.
The negative influences from your day are just nervous chatter,
So please let go of them.
Go in and in,
And into the space of calmness you're now creating for yourself.
Be with yourself.
As this short meditation concludes,
Consider one or more ways to honor yourself today,
To invest in yourself.
You are worthy of the interest you will accrue.
May you always find a fortune each time you open your personal piggy bank.
The crow flies from me to thee to send the message.
Blessed be.
Namaste.
