A message from today’s meditation:
Friday’s meditation is dedicated to love, and today’s wisdom from Anita Moorjani hits all the marks. One of the most profound lessons she learned from her near-death experience was the importance of self-love. She discovered that by accepting and loving herself unconditionally, she was able to heal her body and spirit. This insight challenges the belief that we might have been raised with, that we must be perfect to be worthy of love.
If you’ve ever felt unworthy of love, you’re not alone. Many of us carry the belief that love is a reward earned through perfection. This misconception can lead to a deep-seated fear of being fundamentally unlovable. Anita’s journey from near-death to healing offers profound insights into the power of unconditional love.
“In the tapestry of life, we’re all connected. Each one of us is a gift to those around us helping each other be who we are, weaving a perfect picture together.” – Anita Moorjani
“One of the biggest lessons I learned from nearly dying of cancer is the importance of loving myself unconditionally. In fact, learning to love and accept myself unconditionally is what healed me and brought me back from the brink of death.” – Anita Moorjani
“When I’m BEING love, I don’t get drained, and I don’t need people to behave a certain way in order to feel cared for or to share my magnificence with them. They’re automatically getting my love as a result of me being my true self. And when I am nonjudgmental of myself, I also feel that way toward others.” – Anita Moorjani
“Learning to love others begins with learning to love ourselves unconditionally first. I will never let myself down, treat myself like a doormat, or make myself small so others can feel big. I have learned that this is the biggest gift that I give not only to myself, but also to the planet, because I paint others with the same brush as I use on myself.” – Anita Moorjani
“Unconditional Love is our birthright, not judgement or condemnation, and there’s nothing we need to do to earn it. This is simply who and what we are.” – Anita Moorjani
Love is what we are, our natural state. It is not something that we need to work for and qualify for only if we’re “good enough”, and it’s not something we give only to those who qualify when they are “good enough”.
What disconnects us from love is fear, and the worst of these is the fear of being fundamentally unlovable. If you’ve grown up with the message that you only qualify for love when you’re perfect, then you might really be struggling with feeling loved because you know that you’re not perfect, and that must mean that you’re not lovable!
So many of us suffer deeply from this and no matter how many people love you, say they love you, show that they love you, if you believe that you have to be perfect before you can be loved, then it’s very hard or even impossible to let any of that love in.
No one can love you hard enough to fix this, but you. Your own love is the only force that can break through these walls you have built against love and this is where all of our self-work lies.
How do you love YOU? Can you be kind to YOU when you make mistakes? Do you love YOU, even when you’re at your worst?
Affirming your worth unconditionally:
- “I am worthy of love, regardless of my imperfections.”
- “I choose to love myself unconditionally.”
- “I am kind and compassionate towards myself.”
- “I am grateful for who I am.”
- “I am a portal for love to flow into the world.”
This is available to you too! And my biggest wish for you is for you to fall in love with YOU. It requires courage, self-compassion, and a willingness to embrace your true self. By cultivating a loving relationship with yourself, you’ll discover the transformative truth that you are worthy of love, just as you are.
Have a beautiful Friday beautiful humans!

Practice the “Daily Dose”
Let’s put it into practice! Choose what works for you – daily, once a week or whenever inspiration strikes. Putting pen to paper wires the neural pathways that will create your new habits.
1 – Affirmation
Write down your favourite affirmation on a sticky note and place it somewhere that you’ll be able to see it the whole day.
- “I am worthy of love, regardless of my imperfections.”
- “I choose to love myself unconditionally.”
- “I am kind and compassionate towards myself.”
- “I am grateful for who I am.”
- “I am a portal for love to flow into the world.”
2 – A moment of reflection
Use today’s question as a journal prompt. If you don’t have the time to sit down and write, just take a moment to reflect on your response.
Exploring Your Beliefs About Love and Worthiness: Write about the messages you received growing up about love and worthiness. Did you learn that love was conditional – something you had to earn through being a “good girl” or a “good boy”? How do these early beliefs show up in your life today? When do you find yourself withholding love from yourself until you meet certain standards?
3 – Quotes to share
Send a quote to someone who needs it, or share them all on social media to spread the good vibes!
4 – Q&A for deeper learning
Read through the questions and answers and write down at least one “aha moment” that clicked for you.
1. What does it mean to love yourself unconditionally?
Unconditional self-love means accepting and caring for yourself regardless of your mistakes, flaws, or imperfections. It’s loving yourself not because you’ve earned it through achievements or good behavior, but simply because you exist. This type of love doesn’t fluctuate based on your performance or circumstances—it’s a constant, unwavering acceptance of who you are at your core.
2. How can loving myself unconditionally help with healing and personal growth?
When you love yourself unconditionally, you create a safe internal environment where healing can occur. As Anita Moorjani discovered, this self-love was what enabled her physical and spiritual healing. When you’re not constantly fighting against yourself or withholding love until you’re “perfect,” your energy can be redirected toward growth, creativity, and authentic living.
3. I struggle to believe I’m worthy of love. How can I change this deep-seated belief?
Start by recognizing that worthiness isn’t something you earn—it’s your birthright. Challenge the voice that says you must be perfect to be loved. Practice self-compassion when you make mistakes, and gradually replace self-criticism with kind, understanding inner dialogue. Remember that this is inner work only you can do, and it takes time and patience with yourself.
4. What’s the difference between self-love and being selfish or narcissistic?
True self-love is not about thinking you’re better than others or putting your needs above everyone else’s. When you genuinely love yourself, you don’t need to make others small to feel big. Instead, you become a source of love that flows naturally to others. As Moorjani explains, when you’re “being love,” you don’t get drained and you naturally share your magnificence with others.
5. How do I practice self-love when I’m at my worst or have made serious mistakes?
This is when self-love is most crucial and most challenging. Instead of abandoning yourself when you’re struggling, practice staying present with your pain without judgment. Ask yourself: “How can I be kind to myself right now?” Treat yourself as you would a dear friend going through a difficult time. Remember that making mistakes doesn’t make you unworthy of love—it makes you human.
6. Why is it so hard to accept love from others when I don’t love myself?
When you believe you must be perfect to be worthy of love, you create walls that prevent love from reaching you. Even when others show you love, you may dismiss it or feel it’s undeserved because you know you’re not perfect. Your own self-love is the only force that can break through these walls you’ve built against love. Until you love yourself, external love may feel conditional or temporary.
7. How does self-love impact my relationships with others?
Self-love transforms all your relationships. When you love yourself unconditionally, you stop seeking validation from others and can love them more freely. You don’t need people to behave a certain way to feel worthy, which allows for more authentic connections. As Moorjani notes, you “paint others with the same brush” you use on yourself—so the more compassionate you are with yourself, the more compassionate you’ll be with others.
