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.
There’s a voice in you
that remembers the truth—
before shame, before should, before striving.
Let that voice rise.
Let it be velvet and honest.
Not every whisper has to sting.
Not every thought needs teeth.
You are allowed to talk to yourself
as if you’re someone you adore.
Speak gently.
Speak clearly.
Speak like it matters.
Because it does.
What tone does my inner voice usually carry—and where did that voice first learn its language?
What would shift if I made kindness my default setting in how I speak to myself?
What’s one kind sentence I wish someone had said to me when I was younger—and can I say it to myself now?
