While working on the 40 questions with a CoDA study group, I came up with an exciting suggestion. The idea is to create a “Self-Care Kit,” then insert loving messages and learn to love myself unconditionally. Then I thought, how do I learn to love myself unconditionally over time? I created a PDF for myself to help me move towards that goal. The PDF comes packed with prompts to align with CoDA recovery.
If you’re interested in purchasing the tool for yourself, you can buy it for $2 to find success in learning to love yourself unconditionally. Feel free to scroll to the bottom to purchase. I encourage you to share it with your loved ones so everybody can find the love. If you find the love, please let me know how the tool helped you improve.
