* Writing Inner Wise Self love notes is a practice I learned from SARK (aka Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy). Imagine there’s a wise person inside you who understands you and looks at you with total love and affection. S/he does not criticize you. S/he offers guidance and assurance when you need it. Imagine s/he is writing you a love letter. Grab a paper and a pen, set a timer for three minutes, and see what s/he has to say. You can do this everyday or when you feel inspired or have a question that you could use some guidance on.
