Can we train our minds to hurt us less? For years, I've been writing letters to my future self, not fully understanding what I was doing or why 😜 What I did know was that the letters were always uncannily kind and clear. And, unlike what happens when I write for an audience (like this one!) they flow effortlessly, like a seamless exhale. Recently Elizabeth Gilbert helped me name the magic of what was happening: I've been writing letters from Love. 💌 Watching liz popularize this practice with her magical Substack community has been deeply inspiring. She invites us all to become channels for Love in a space that might just be the most beautiful corner of the internet. ✨ Here's what I've discovered through this practice: 🔔 Tapping Deeper Wisdom: When I pause and truly listen, I become a vessel for something beyond my intellect—deeper, truer, and wiser. 💛 Cultivating Self-Compassion: It's a profound exercise in silencing the self-sensoring inner critic and turning up the volume on the kinder voices (they're in there too!) ✅ Building Accountability: These letters help hold me accountable to the one who matters: myself. Intrigued? Check it out and give it a try! #LettersFromLove #LeadingOutLoud #LearningOnPurpose
