The Law According to Lindsay
A fantastic idea from Letters to my Daughters...
1. Find your own truths. Do whatever it takes to find them. When you do, trust yourself. You really do know what is best.
2. Laugh often. If you want to keep your soul alive and your sanity intact, find the humor in even the most trying circumstances.
3. Nurture your friendship with the person who knows you best, no matter how busy you are, no matter the physical distance, no matter how much change life brings.
4. Say no to the things that don’t resonate with your soul. If it doesn’t bring more love into the world for yourself and the other, if it doesn’t feel right, if it doesn’t bring you further into who you know yourself to be, say no. And mean it. The right thing will come.
5. Say yes to the things that do. A big, loud, confident YES.
6. Feel all of your feelings deeply. Anger, disappointment, hurt, grief, jealousy, sadness, loss, joy, laughter, bliss, confidence, acceptance, trust. Feel them, but do not hold on to them.
7. Be gentle with yourself. Let go of the judgments, the guilt, the regrets, the body issues.
8. Seek out the things that bring you joy- time with your girlfriends, walks in nature, funny movies, old photographs, the good chocolate. If something is keeping you from your joy (a man, a job, an energy-sucking friend, a negative outlook, a diet, television, gossip, etc.), get rid of it.
9. Never underestimate the power of a much-needed hug. Give them, ask for them.
10. Actions really do speak louder than words. Forget what people tell you, pay attention to what they do.
