A simple tool we can use anytime, anyplace, anywhere. Put your hand on your heart, connect with yourself. According to new research, when we place our hand on our hearts we tend to be more honest with others and have the knowledge of trusting and being honest with ourselves.
If I am feeling let down by someone, maybe a bit left out, lonely, lost or overwhelmed, I put my hand on my heart and say or think: "It's ok - I am here for me and I am enough".
In situations of fear, discomfort, being misunderstood or maybe I am wondering where I should fit in, I put my hand on my heart and say or think: "It's ok - I know I am being guided and I am enough".
I absolutely love this method, it has reminded me to love myself, that I am enough, that I am worthy, that I am whole without anyone else's input. Every time I use this method (which is probably daily), I feel a sense of relief and calm, I feel stronger, I feel a sense of knowing that I can cope with whatever the world wants to bring me today. I am connected.
Interesting World fact about the "Hand on Heart"gesture:
In the U.S., people are asked to put their right hand over their heart during the Pledge of Allegiance as a sign of respect. That gesture, it turns out, can do more than just symbolize dignity and honor, it indicates honesty and truthfulness.
