Manage episode 354327261 series 3444243
Love Your Amazing Self!
Truth!
In this season of gift-giving, thanksgiving and joy, it is also important to remember that we should give thanks to the one person that we tend to forget. Ourselves!
Learning to appreciate what you have right now (gratitude) and appreciate yourself (self-love) are skills that many of us have to put effort in.
Ofusu Jones-Quartey, a meditation teacher and hip-hop musician, write gentle poetic reminders of self-love in his new book, "Love Your Amazing Self: Joyful Verses for Young Voices." The book is beautifully illustrated by Ndubisi Okoye and each page invites the eyes to read heartfelt words that make you stop and realize that time and each experience is precious.
Ofosu is also known as the recording artist - Born I - and has been teaching mindfulness and meditation for greater than 10 years. He uses these practices and his beliefs to meld them into hip-hop and electronic music.
In Ofusu's words:
"The world has its ideas of who you are
But you don't need them
To be the person you really are inside
is Freedom"
