Summer of Self Love is a 13-week journey of mindful self-care, inspired by the heart of the 1960s Summer of Love. Each week offers a new theme to support your nervous system and nourish your spirit through daily practices, guided meditations, journal prompts, poetry, and more. Reconnect with yourself, one breath and one act of love at a time.
Lay it down, love,
the heavy pace, the race to be worthy.
Let your breath be the only thing you carry.
The moon doesn’t hustle.
The ocean doesn’t apologize for ebbing.
You are allowed to be still.
To be soft. To stop.
You don’t have to earn your pause.
This rest is not retreat,
it’s a revolution.
And in this stillness,
you begin again.
What beliefs do I hold about rest—do I see it as a luxury, a weakness, or a necessity?
When was the last time I felt deeply rested in body, mind, and spirit? What made that possible?
How might I redefine rest as a way of returning to myself, rather than escaping from the world?
