She was built back. Piece by piece 🧩
There was a time I couldn’t recognize myself in the mirror. So over a decade ago, I started with a sticky note. Just one.
Then another. And another 🖊️
My home was covered in simple but powerful reminders. Words I couldn’t believe at first, but chose to say anyway.
It didn’t matter to me who saw these words on my wall and mirror.
That was the beginning ❤️
When you are ready to let go of this old version of you, you cannot hate yourself out of it. It’s the complete opposite. You have to pour love into her.
This woman you see today was created through mirror work, through clearing what no longer served her. Through pouring unconditional love into her mind, body, and soul. Even though there were critics and still are. She continues to pour into her unconditionally.
It was hard. But she had to pick her hard.
I’m still building her. I’m still growing.
Because we only get this one life, and it’s meant to be lived fully, deeply, and vibrantly 🌹
This is your reminder 👉🏾 Start with one sticky note. One loving truth about yourself. One moment of reclaiming your power. And then build from there 🛠️
Love,
Ashika.
