Learning to love ourselves upon waking

[Deepsee]

Yesterday was painful upon waking. The weight would not budge. I couldn't breathe and the darkest cloud I've seen in a long time hovered inches above my heart and chest. Luckily a friend called in need of a ride to the airport. What could I say anything was going to be better than laying in bed another moment and it gave me the motivation I needed.

That lead to a friendly hug from my friend, fresh air, a sense of purpose for the moment, and I stopped by the ocean on the way home. It was windy and crisp, one of those cloudless wonderous San Francisco to beach days. It was the best I'd felt in years. Walking barefoot my hoodie pulled tightly over my entire head and most of my face. I felt like a kid again. I even prayed and gave thanks for the good vibes.

The day got better and better from that point.

This morning I woke up feeling better but still that loneliness and cloudiness was there just not as bad. But still an aching that felt immovable. I realized as I was lying in bed, feeling alone that I really need to cultivate more self love and self care and an inner voice that is somehow able to see me (the other me?) maybe it could be described as my spiritual self seeing my human self.

So today I worked on the loving voice within me as a way to feel loved and not so alone in the world. To feel someone or some part of me has my back and will always be with me, walk with me, touch me and caress my shoulder or warm my heart. It feels strange to split the voices within or to talk to self as if there are more parts but it helped so much. Today I really feel I am not alone and the solution or part of it can come from my own doing (the parts of me) I know it sounds simple to many, I just forget sometimes that I have that deep resource within to tap into and cultivate - a loving powerful higher self voice that will never let me down when I seek it.

I am wondering what others do to heal in the mornings or move the clouds or provide self care and self love to themselves when they are alone or fee alone or down.

Thanks have a bright and self loving and socially loving day -

Deepsee, upon awakening each day, I stretch and grateful for yet another dayand then meditate and breathe for about 20 minutes. I then sit up and say

"I'm Back"

Make it a great day my friend xx
