“May I be truly happy
May I be free from suffering
May I be truly well in body, mind, and heart
And may I live peacefully and with ease”
This loving-kindness meditation exercise from Dr. Andrea Pennington’s Real Self Love Handbook is a message to our inner-self that we deserve to be happy, healthy, and full of peace.
On today’s Broken Brain Podcast, I talk with Dr. Andrea about how to approach yourself with kindness, love, and compassion. We delve into where the self-critical voice comes from, how to recognize this voice and turn it around towards love, and how giving intention to our daily calendar can help put our minds at ease. Dr. Andrea tells us about her personal story that led her to find radical forgiveness and self-love.
