How to Love the Unlovable
June 2, 2008 9:32 pm Love-LettersWelcome to all the new subscribers to The Love Letter. Over 200 of you have joined us in our first 4 months! We’re exponentially excited about our progress and we owe it to you. We love you deeply!
We are trying a new format where we’ll send shorter emails once or twice a week. We think short and sweet is the best way to efficiently provide the most cutting edge information, interviews with love experts, and the best love exercises for constantly living in a state of love!
As always, please share your thoughts on what we’re doing. We LOVE ALL feedback!
Today’s Love Exercise Our love exercise is adapted from an outstanding book I’ve been reading called A Course in Love, by Joan Gattuso:Do this exercise when you encounter someone who is difficult to love.
- 1. Picture the person as a child, a 7-year-old, a 5-year-old, even a tiny baby.
- 2. Notice the pure innocence and perfection deeply reflected by this tiny human looking at life with wide-eyed wonder.
- 3. Look beyond past or current actions and demeanor and instead realize each persons’ true essence is beautiful innocent perfection.
With Love,
Justin
P.S. Aaron wants to share a Bonus Sunrise Love Exercise:Every morning when I wake up I always say: “I Love You, Thank You”. I don’t even necessarily even direct it toward anyone or anything (usually because I am half asleep = ) It’s been a great primer for the day so, have fun with it! As always share your thoughts, ideas and stories with us!
