There are two ways of spreading light —

to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

Affirmation: I am a gentle and loving caregiver.

I take good care of myself and others. When someone needs my compassion or a shoulder to lean on, I give those things freely. For myself and for others, I am a gentle and loving caregiver.

My supply of love and compassion is constantly growing because it comes from the source of all things. Therefore, I always have something to offer when others are in need.

My friends and family come to me when they need someone to care for them because they know I am overflowing with abundant love.

If someone I care for has challenges in asking for what they want or need, I listen closely to my intuitive senses to try to discern what is right for them. Then, I ask them if my perception of their needs is accurate. When I have confirmed that, then I give them all the love and care they want.

With all the resources available to me, I find myself with an almost endless supply of patience and compassion. This is especially true in regards to myself.

I am my own best advocate, so treating myself kindly is critical to my well-being. Therefore, I extend my gentleness and kindness not only to others, but also to myself.

Today, I commit to taking every opportunity to be good to myself and others.

I am gentle and kind to all beings, and I take good care of those in my life.

Daily, I look into my heart daily for new ways to extend loving care to those in need.

Homework/ Self-Reflective Questions/ Journal Prompts:

1. How do I show love and compassion to my family members?

2. Is there a person in my life who could benefit from more gentleness from me?

3. How can I go about showing kindness to that particular person today?

Have an awesome week!
