Building the Energy for Self Love
You were given this precious body to experience life with and what better way to fill your cup than to give it some energy.
Deepak Chopra states, “Every day, your body consciously tends to you, never losing focus or attention. You can acknowledge this faithful service by consciously relating to your body in turn.”
When you feel emotions in your body you should label them, connect with them, and release them. There is a more detailed way to do this in our program called “Techniques for Self Love and Acceptance.”
We tend to ignore emotional signals because we are taught that our body is just doing what it needs to do while our minds, hearts, and souls, are doing the real work.
Just like the work you are doing to have loving boundaries and build up your energy with our other activities, your body is in need of your loving care as well.
Why does energy help?
On the quantum level, your body is made up entirely of energy

Follow joy to your workout routine, but definitely get going because it helps your body communicate with you, increases your energy, and helps you live longer in this life you are loving.
