Look for hearts

A few weeks ago, Leroy Elevates posted on Instagram about a Mel Robbins podcast he had listened to. It prompted him to look for hearts in everyday things and see the beauty and joy that each of them brings to his life.

Last week, on one of my YogaDaddy days with the YogaTwins over the summer holidays, we set ourselves a challenge to see how many hearts we could see as we went about our day…

Within an instant of us walking from YogaDad HQ, the boys found a beautiful heart-shaped petal.

That set the ball rolling for us spotting hearts anywhere and everywhere.

Heart-shaped clouds in the park...

A heart scrawled on a litter bin...

Heart-shaped grass cuttings...

Love hearts etched into a tree trunk...

The list goes on…

The YogaTwins loved it, and I loved it, too. It wasn’t like we obsessed over finding hearts all day. In fact, most often they appeared when we least expected it – like the last one we saw in the Salt & Malt car park at Chew Valley Lake.

This was as much about re-programming our brains to press pause for a moment and look for the beauty all around us and the heart-shaped goodness it brings.
