Welcome to the first post from my Thirty-One Day Full-On Love Challenge daily notes. Each day is a journey of self-love, positivity, and intentional acts of kindness. The first day marked the beginning of a transformative experience that I am eager to share with you, one day at a time.

A Heartfelt Start

Day one and the energy is already buzzing with excitement. My heart and lips find themselves naturally lifted, creating an atmosphere of exhilaration and bliss. The joy is palpable, and I can’t help but attribute part of it to the anticipation of a new challenge—one I’ve willingly bestowed upon myself. There’s something invigorating about embarking on a journey of love, especially when it involves self-discovery and positive change.

The Ambition for Love

As I pen down my thoughts on this inaugural day, my aspirations for the challenge become clear. I aim for every decision, action, and interaction to emanate from a place of love—devoid of judgment, displeasure, anguish, anger, or fear. My desire is to vibrate at 528Hz or higher, a frequency associated with love and healing. The vision of broadcasting love effortlessly, just by being and existing, fuels my ambition for a world governed by love.

Love as Contagion

I firmly believe that love is contagious, much like laughter, smiles, and yawns. The more we give, the more we receive. Envisioning a world where everyone vibrates with love becomes my mission. The hope is that by changing my own vibration, I can influence others, creating a ripple effect of love that extends far beyond my immediate sphere.

From Challenge to Calling

The decision to undertake this challenge was a spur-of-the-moment choice which emerged from an introspection sparked by the passing of my sister—a significant figure in my journey to self-love. Her role as both adversary and teacher compelled me to confront the complexities of our relationship. In the healing process, I learned the art of letting go, forgiveness, acceptance, and compassion.

A Challenge Born from Grief

Following my sister’s passing, I faced a creative block in writing. The words eluded me until the challenge revealed itself—a 31-day commitment to consciously be love. This endeavour, born out of grief and self-discovery, became my ultimate tool for cleansing my path and soul of limiting beliefs. It felt like a profound gift to myself and the world.

Challenges and Triumphs of Day 1

As the day unfolded, the challenge presented its first hurdle—maintaining a love-filled state at work. The familiar rush of ‘work-brain’ threatened the calmness cultivated during morning practices. Seeking guidance, a friend suggested a mindful approach to answering calls, a technique that proved beneficial in maintaining a love-filled presence. Smile before any meeting or responding to any emails.

Reflections on Presence

The challenge illuminated the ease with which one can slip into autopilot, particularly in the workplace. The realization dawned that staying present and love-filled during business-focused tasks demanded conscious effort. A desire for more love throughout the workday became a goal—one that I was determined to achieve.

Moments of Joy

Amidst the challenges, the day brought moments of pure joy. Creating the video documentation emerged as a highlight, igniting a passion for sharing this transformative journey with others. From love-infused handwashing to heartfelt meditations and playful moments with my dog, Jeffrey, every activity was a celebration of love.

Looking Ahead

As I conclude this reflection on Day 1, I am filled with gratitude for the insights gained and the challenges faced. The journey has just begun, and I am eager to unfold the layers of self-discovery, love, and transformation that lie ahead. Join me on this adventure as we explore the boundless potential of love and its power to change not only our lives but the world around us. Stay tuned for Day 2, where the journey continues to evolve, one love-filled day at a time.
