In Love With Life: Words, Intention and Everyday Choices

I’ve been thinking lately about what it means to be truly in love with life.

Not because everything is perfect, or because every day brings something wonderful. Life has its challenges, and some days are certainly easier than others.

But I believe that, wherever we are in life, we can make choices that change how we experience it.

We are not necessarily stuck with the way things feel today.

Choosing to Be More in Love With Life

For me, one of my biggest intentions right now is to become a person who feels happier, more peaceful, and more in Love with life.

I want happiness, peace, and Love to become more than occasional feelings. I want them to be part of my everyday state of being.

I believe that as I continue to work on my inner experience, the way I relate to the world around me can change too.

Of course, change doesn't happen overnight. And choosing to be happy doesn't mean that difficult things suddenly disappear.

But I do believe in our ability to grow, to make different choices, and to become more aware of the thoughts and feelings we carry with us.

Sometimes change begins with something as simple as deciding that we want to experience life differently.

What Does It Mean to Love Your Life?

I don't think being in love with life means loving every single thing that happens to us.

For me, it's about finding a sense of appreciation for being here, right now, even when life isn't exactly how we imagined it would be.

It's about noticing the moments that make us feel good, allowing ourselves to enjoy them, and remembering that we deserve some of the Love and kindness we so readily give to others.

I have free will, and with it comes the ability to make choices.

One of those choices is to practice being more in Love with my life, as it is today, while continuing to grow into the person I want to become.

A Simple Tea Meditation to Reconnect With Yourself

One practice that helps me reconnect with that feeling of Love is a simple tea meditation.

You don't need any special equipment or a complicated routine. Just a few quiet minutes and a cup of tea you enjoy.

I love using our Soothing PM organic herbal tea, with its calming ingredients, including organic chamomile and lemon verbena.

Here's how I practice it:

1. Prepare your favorite tea and let it steep.

2. Sit somewhere comfortable and close your eyes.

3. Take a slow, deep breath and place your hand over your heart.

4. Silently or gently say to yourself: I love you. I love you. I love you.

5. Repeat those words for a few moments, without rushing.

6. Take another breath, pick up your tea, and enjoy it slowly.

I find there's something very comforting about sitting quietly with a warm cup of tea and offering yourself a little kindness.

We spend so much time thinking about what we need to do, what we should change, and what comes next.

Sometimes it's nice to simply sit with someone you Love.

And that someone can be you.

Becoming Someone Who Loves Life

I don't expect to wake up every morning feeling completely peaceful or full of joy.

But I can keep returning to my intention.

I can notice when I'm being hard on myself. I can appreciate the good moments. I can make space for quiet reflection, even on busy days.

And I can remind myself that personal transformation isn't always about making enormous changes.

Sometimes it begins with how we speak to ourselves.

What about you? Is there something you've recently changed, or something you're working on, to feel more in Love with life?

I'd love to hear about it.

Love,

Maryse
