S1E32, NIGHT Shower Yourself in Love (R)
[INTRODUCTION]
Taes: Hello, my name is Taes and I am so happy to be here with you at the very end of our day to say goodnight.
It is just such a good time to think back on what happened today on how we felt throughout the day and just wind down together.
Are you ready?
Me too.
I love knowing all day long that I get to see you and hear about how your day was and how you're feeling.
So, first of all, I just wanna say, thank you so much for being here with me.
[SHOWER YOURSELF IN LOVE]
Taes: Tonight I want you to gather all of your things like you always do, and jump into bed and lie right down in bed for this one.
I really love to end the day thinking about all of the things that I love about myself. You know, sometimes we can go through life telling all sorts of other people how much we love and appreciate them, but we forget to tell ourselves.
So, tonight is a time to shower yourself in. So here's how we're going to do it: I'm going to say something that I love about myself, and then you are going to think of something that you love about yourself and say it out loud. Okay?
Alright. I'll start. And remember, as we say, things that we love about ourselves, we want to think about all sorts of things like the ways that we are, and not necessarily the ways that we look. We can also love the ways we look. That's important. But we want to mix it up and add in some other things, too.
Okay. Here we go.
I love that I am so kind. Your turn.
I love that I'm really silly sometimes. Your turn.
That's a good one. I love my laugh.
I love that I'm really artistic. Your turn.
That's a good one. I love that. I'm always up for an adventure.
That's a good one. I love how much I care. Your turn.
That's a good one. I love how big my heart is.
And I love how big your heart is too. And I love all of those things about you as well.
So, can you just stretch your arms out and imagine that you're taking all of those things that you love about yourself and put them inside of your heart and give your heart a little rub? Oh, that's so nice.
I want you to keep those things in there as you dream as you sleep. And then again, tomorrow as you go throughout your day.
[CLOSING]
Taes: Thank you to you for being here with me.
I can't wait to see you tomorrow morning.
Have an amazing sleep with lots of happy dreams.
Remember, there is nobody in the whole world with a heart just like yours.
I love you. And I love your big heart so much.
