WNRS SELF-LOVE CARD PROMPT:
WHAT IS MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE AGE I AM TODAY?
My age feels very pivotal to me and I love that. So many people my age are complaining about feeling old and like they are wasting their life because they haven’t accomplished what they expected or convinced themselves they wanted — but I feel the opposite.
My age is still fairly young, just old enough to feel like I have some semblance of foundational knowledge and experience to build on in the coming years. It’s like I can leave behind the dreams of my past and build a new version of me to move into the next stage of my life. In the past I was filled with doubt as to whether I wanted to remain in the world — now I find myself curious to see if I can live to be 100 and amazed at the prospect of all that I could experience in such a lifetime as that!
Maybe the mess of my past and the new choices of the past few years are really what makes me feel this way, but it really feels like the beginning of the rest of my life.

Wow… interesting question 
Well i am 37… turning 38 in December.
I guess my favorite thing about my age is that i still feel young and that i recovered from drugs at a fairly young age. Even though i dont remember much of my childhood and have struggled with addiction my whole adoelscent, teenage, and then many years into adulthood, i still have my whole life ahead of me. Im sort of learning who i am. What my gifts are. My passions. Im learning to love being silly and fun and being almost kid-like at times, bcuz i have always, always been such a serious person. I always felt life was sooo serious, like there was no joy at all in it. Im seeing that at 37 years old, i have alot i can accomplish still. I used to feel like i wasted away sooo many years with drugs. But i guess im really ready now to experience life in a whole new light and to experience it to the fullest!!

I’m 41 Years old.
I’ve struggled with addictions most of my life, and yet i’m back being open/honest with my wife about struggles so i feel like i can’t go back now. That’s a good thing, you get tired of being deceptive/always feeling like an actor, not wanting people to know how messed up you are. I feel positive. I’m working out every morning before work now, trying to keep myself spiritually well fed too. For me, it’s constant mindfullness that’s critical for me. I use books like Atomic Habits, Easy Peasy guide to help me with the little things every day. I have a dopamine addiction that centers on pornography that i’m at war with. But Gratitude for my wife/family/God help me fight this. That’s why i can’t just get online/youtube, cause i’m triggered by dang near everything. But i’m thankful that i’m fighting. Not giving up, every single day.

WHAT IS MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE AGE I AM TODAY?
My favourite thing about the age I am today is that I am now old enough to know how little I really know. That I am open to the possibility that I am not always right and that I am dedicating myself to being a bit more humble, a bit more vunlerable and a bit more open ever day.

RUPI SELF-LOVE CARD PROMPT:
THINK ABOUT THE PART OF YOUR BODY YOU’VE FELT MOST INSECURE ABOUT. WRITE THAT BODY PART A LETTER THAT STARTS WITH AN APOLOGY, AND ENDS WITH GRATITUDE.
I wrote mine in poetry form rather than a letter. It’s not very good but it just kind of flowed out of me like it was something I didn’t realize I needed to do and release. I’m busy making dinner right now so I’ll pop back to share it later tonight.

my shameful bump
I’m sorry for doubting you
ignoring your strength
overworked
under appreciated
I’m sorry for abusing you
not always feeding you enough
or stuffing you to capacity
tugging, squeezing, compressing, and hiding
I’m sorry for the mean words I whisper
the loathing glances in my reflection
you have done nothing to deserve this
thank you for being strong
for supporting me through it all
thank you for being healthy
one thing I don’t have to worry about
there’s just the right amount of you
all of it deserving love

To my right leg which is half the size of my left.
I’m sorry I didn’t do physical therapy correctly the first knee surgery and I tore my acl again. I’m sorry I compare you to a healthy leg that has never been injured. I’m sorry I expect you to carry me and work so hard but don’t do the accessory work you need.
I’m grateful you continue to carry me around and push through the runs and workouts I do. I’m grateful to still have some strength in you and hope to build you up.
(This is my first attempt at this thread

Mine is my skin. I have had eczema since I was born.
To my skin,
I’ve not been kind to you and for that I am sorry. For most of our time together I have obsessed with the scratches, blotches, grazes and cuts that come from having eczema. Feeling like I am an ugly monster covered in sores. I’ve not given you a chance to heal and for that I can only apologise.
What I realise now is that the problems lie deeper than the surface. It is what is within that causes these bursts of uncontrollable itching. The stress and anxiety. The over thinking, catastrophising. The all or nothing thinking that leads me to try and find a way to cope with the avalanche of thoughts.
We are in a better place than before but maybe we can do this together. If I am kinder to myself I can be kinder to you.

RUPI SELF-LOVE CARD PROMPT:
I AM WORTHY OF BEING LOVED BECAUSE __________.
I actually pulled this card about a week ago and never sat down to write a response to it. Yesterday when I was making breakfast it came to mind again I wrote the following response. A rather brief one that I may think on again later and write more.
There are no arbitrary units, quantifiable traits, or reasons that determine whether I deserve love. I am deserving of love even if others don’t think I am. I am deserving of love. Do humans exist for many reasons beyond experiencing love and the other vortex of emotions that come with it?

Checking in on a post i made, 4 months ago, No improvement. Had a relapse today in fact.
I am worthy of being loved because:
This is a hard one for me as self loathing is something that I have struggled with for years. I have been sat here for a long time thinking about this. Here is my best shot.
"I am worthy of being loved because I am not the monster I spent years convincing myself that I am.
I am worthy of being loved because I have a lot of kindness to share, hugs to give and most of all time to give to the people who are important to me.
I am worthy of love because if I met me I think we would get on really well and I enjoy lots of really interesting things. They may not be the most mainstream things but as I accept these as part of who I am, I am beginning to find my tribe.
I am worthy of love because love does not just mean romantic love and my life is filled with people who love me for who I am. I should do so too."
