This exercise is a way for you to think about love on a deeper level, in particular receiving love. One of the things we’re often craving is to feel loved. This exercise provides a way to clarify what that means for you and to bring more of that feeling into your life. As women we tend to give love to others more than we receive love. When you receive love, you can then give more love.
Receive love on a deeper level
In your journal write answers to the following questions.
- What does love feel like to you?
- What does love look like if you could draw it or describe it?
- What does giving love mean to you?
- What does giving love look like to you? Is there a color, tone or sensation that comes to mind?
- What does receiving love mean to you?
- What does receiving love look like to you? Is there a color, tone or sensation that comes to mind?
- What are some ways you can receive love from yourself?
- What are some ways you can receive love from others?
- How is receiving love now different from when you were a child?
- Does receiving love as an adult hold the same energy as when you were younger?
This is a wonderful exercise to help you open up your heart. It’s a way to help you get back to your true self.
