How to be loving Deck

THINK WITH LOVE.

Open mindedness―spirituality―is the practice of thinking with love. First, we refer to our heart’s mind for the best way to proceed. Then we recruit the mental mind to support the heart. This is what it means to have our priorities straight.

This is one of 60 cards in How to Be Loving: The Deck: For Resilience, Kindness, and All Kinds of Idealism―from bestselling author Danielle LaPorte.

A companion deck for her book and journal of the same title, this collection is substance with a side of playful. Some cards are short paragraphs of deep teachings. Others are poignant one-liners that people will be posting everywhere:

• “Embrace your contradictions.”
• “Use your mind for holy purposes.”
• “Ask your heart what it wants to tell your mind.”

There are beautiful questions that can be used as conversation starters or journaling prompts, like, “If you were to look at yourself with a loving gaze, what would shift?” Danielle has also sprinkled in textual art cards that are ready for framing or tucking into love notes.

These nourishing words and sweet inquiries are antidotes to the fear-based, limiting scripts we’ve had on repeat for years. As daily writing motivation, oracle cards, date-night cue cards, or on-the-spot inspiration, here is a deck for deep thinkers and for anyone stepping on the path to healing―themselves and our world.
