Frankly I have not been keeping this up very well. Some days I would remember to do it, some days I wouldn’t (but would usually realize later). One of the goals of this exercise is to practice responding to people with love rather than judgment, and I definitely am not there yet. Judgment or defensiveness is usually my first response, and then I send love when I realize I’m doing that. Not that I expect to change it in a few days, of course. Journaling about it here helps me keep up the practice, whereas normally I would lapse after a couple of weeks.

I picked a card out of my Doreen Virtue Archangel deck the other day, and asked what it is I need to know right now. The card I drew was called “Beloved”, and the description said something about how the more you send love out into the world, the more you receive in return. I thought, that’s what I’ve been practicing! I was mainly focused on experiencing more peace and love within myself rather than receiving more love, but there is that aspect, too.
