"I love you. I really, really love you."

I had always found affirmations hard for me to connect to because I never really felt any resonance or heart behind them. This finally changed when I discovered Louise Hay's heartfelt and love-filled affirmations, so I wanted to share some of my favorites with you. Unlike the generic "I love myself" type of affirmations, these carry a sincerity that you can feel wash over you upon speaking or even just reading them. I'd like to share some of my favorites with you today, in the hope that you'll find them as genuinely uplifting as I do. ♡
