A Self-Love Exercise

Update: 2024-10-18

Description

In this episode of the Permission to Love podcast, I walkyou through a powerful exercise to challenge the limiting belief that you need to meet certain criteria to be worthy of love.

As a part of the episode I guides you through four reflective questions that will help you uncover where these beliefs come from, how they affect you, and how to finally let them go.

If you’re struggling with self-love, this episode offers a pathway to begin releasing those burdensome beliefs and reclaim your self-worth.

Key Takeaways:

1.Make a list of what you believe needs to be true for you to be worthy of love.
2.Reflect on whether you apply this list to others and ask if you’d hold them to the same standards.
3.Examine the origin of your belief system around love and worthiness.
4.Visualize who you would be without this list of conditions.
5.Let go of the list through a personal release practice (burn, tear, or mentally release).

Practical Exercise:

•Ask yourself these four key questions to challenge your limiting beliefs about worthiness and love.
•Engage in a physical or mental act of letting go, such as tearing up the list or declaring your release from it.

Quotes from the Episode:

•“There is no list of what you need to do or who you need to be in order to be worthy of love. You are inherently worthy of love because you exist.”
•“Who would you be without that list? Probably free to love yourself without excuses.”
