Relationships, Self Love

Refilled

People are always searching for the fountain of youth or throwing pennies into fountains that grant wishes.

But what about the Fountain of You?

That place within us, which fills our life with worthiness, and allows us to know we’re “enough.”

Last week I talked about my fountain, and how I drained it for exes, and others (you can check that out here https://www.danielelamb.com/the-fountain-of-you/).

Today I want to share some simple ways I refill my fountain, and how you can too!

Meditate & Float in Gratitude

When you don’t feel “enough” it’s easy to enter into a fearful state of mind.

To leave fear behind, and keep your mind grounded, take a couple minutes each morning to meditate.

This can be to a guided mediation (youtube has tons), or you can set your phone timer and just focus on breathing in and out for the duration of the time.

Once you’ve finished calming your mind, take the time to reflect on one thing that you can be grateful for.

This can be anything- running water, a stranger who opened a door for you, or a cuddle from a furbaby.

Gratitude is a stem of love, and fear cannot enter when you’re in a state of love.

Let Love Pour Out and Flow in

Feeling loved begins with you.

Robert Holden says:

“The less you love yourself, the more critical you become of others… The less you love yourself, the more you try to control relationships… The less you love yourself, the harder you make it for others to love you…”

Make a list of all the ways you are loveable, and tape that list to your bathroom mirror (or somewhere you will see it every day no matter what).

Every morning read that list out loud, and take a pic of it on your phone so that you can reread it throughout the day.

We can’t give what we don’t have, and the more you love yourself, the more you are capable of loving others.

Therefore, the more love you pour out, the more will flow in.

Flood your life with service

Giving back to others is a sure way to fill the “Fountain of You.”

Whether it’s spending your precious heartbeats talking to a stranger, paying for someone else’s coffee, or leaving a “you’re awesome” type note in a random mailbox; service is two-fold.

By giving to others, we receive those feel good moments of connection.

And it’s these moments where you realize that your life truly is “enough.”

After all, it’s “enough” to change someone’s day…and even their life.

Thank you for “refilling” with me today, and if you liked what you read please share it with a friend.

    Loving this post, and all of your suggestions. I wish I had learned these concepts when I was younger—they’re incredible life-long practices. I always find its hard to get started—when I’m feeling depleted, it’s hard to take action (especially if it’s a new habit), but it’s SO worth it. Every time. I’ve shared this post with several people, and it’s a great reminder! xx

    Awesome blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally confused .. Any suggestions? Cheers!
