Have you ever found yourself thinking:
“GOODNESS WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME?!”
In a year filled with my own personal storms—from a scary medical diagnosis and surgery, to job loss and navigating financial uncertainties—I’ve held onto one truth that has supported me this year more than ever:
Self-love isn’t just nice to have; it’s our anchor and it is a necessity.
As I’ve been tested time and again, I’ve realized that embracing self-love is what allows me to weather any storm.
No matter what you’re facing right now, remember this:
You are worthy of your own love, NO MATTER WHAT.
If you have been facing a season of challenges and can relate to this post here are a 5 things you can do to help you anchor and ground yourself in Self-Love:
💖Prioritize Self-Compassion: Do what you can to be as kind and understanding with yourself as possible. Give yourself grace, love, compassion, forgiveness and as you navigate these challenges. Practice these mind map affirmations out laud or silent, in front of the mirror, and while you’re driving. Treat yourself as you would a dear friend or someone you love.
💖Seek Support: There is strength in seeking support whether it’s from friends, family, a coach, therapist or a doctor. You don’t have to navigate your experience alone, and having someone to talk to may very well help to give you some clarity, a shift in perspective or a game plan to work on.
💖 Create Small Goals: Set some small, achievable goals that can help bring you a sense of control and accomplishment. This can be as simple as dedicating 5 minutes a day to breathing or completing one small task that contributes to a bigger project at home. Celebrate any little victories you make.
💖Move your body: turn on some music and dance, do some yoga or go for a walk. Moving your body not only helps you physically but mentally, emotionally and energetically.
💖 Practice Mindfulness: The simple act of returning to your breath brings you to the present moment. It helps you reduce your stress and stay grounded and centered when making decisions.
