Do you treat yourself for no reason?

Thanks so much for all your lovely feedback about last week's email on being sensitive - it certainly spoke to so many of you! I appreciate each and every one of you reading these love letters. And it touches me deeply when you choose to take the time to share your thoughts and feelings as well. Thank you 🙏  If you missed it, you can read here

What's been on my mind and in my heart this week is the way we treat ourselves. As in: give ourselves treats. 

Sometimes we only reward ourselves when we do a good job. Maybe growing up you were only allowed to watch TV once you'd done your homework. So now you can't wait to watch TV every evening as a reward for your hard work in the day. Whether there's anything you actually want to watch or not.

Into adulthood we are still trying to get the reward.

We're still trying to get the validation that we are good.

The celebration that we achieved something.

The acknowledgement that we're worthy of a treat.

So, as adults, we can now give ourselves these treats. And we do, often in an unbalanced way.

We eat ALL the chocolate.

The WHOLE cake.

Buy ourselves countless presents (thanks internet shopping ).

To get that feeling that we ARE good. ✅

We DID achieve something. ✅

We ARE worthy of these rewards. ✅

What if we reminded that seeking part of us that they are doing a good job? That she/he has achieved loads. That she/he is worthy of treats simply because they exist, because they're wonderful?

What if you were to give it the treat it wants for no reason at all? Crazy concept right 

If when reading this your inner voice is saying:

"I can't do that" 

Or

"I don't deserve a treat without earning it"

Or something to that effect, it may be a limiting belief holding you back.

In my experience, it usually originates in an underlying belief that you don't deserve it. The belief that you don't deserve good things. Or the conditioning that  you have to earn it to deserve it. And it takes hard work and can't arrive too easily.

If this is describing you and you want things to change, a Spiritual Coaching session with me can help.  Go here to book

Next week I will be sharing my April oracle card reading for you to choose (on April Fools' Day no less!) I know these have been popular with so many of you telling me that the last reading was spot on for you! Look out for your April reading next Thursday 1st April at 8pm. 

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead - full of treating yourself in the ways in deeply fulfilling ways.  

With all my love,
Chandrika ❣️

PS: I'd love to see you over in the Togetherness with Chandrika Facebook Group if you feel called 😍✨
