Self-love has to come first because it brings you back to Truth.

When you do not love yourself, you move from fear and survival.

You cannot hear God clearly from that place.
But when you love yourself with honesty and compassion, your heart softens, your mind settles, and you become open to God in a new way.

Self-love is not selfish. It is a spiritual practice.
It is you saying, "I trust the One who made me."
From that place you can serve God and others with peace and fullness.

Sincerely. +

You're layered: Your experiences, emotions, thoughts, and truths make you deep and multidimensional.

You're complex: You can hold contradictions, feelings, desires, and responsibilities all at once. Complexity is part of being fully alive.

You're art: Your life and choices are a work of art. Even in imperfection, there is beauty.

You're loud in essence: Your presence and energy matter. Living authentically makes a visible and powerful impact.

Sincerely. +

Place one hand on your heart. One hand on your belly.
Close your eyes.
Inhale slowly for 4… hold for 2… exhale for 6.
Do that twice.
Let your body settle. Let your mind soften.
Now, read this:

Readiness is a choice—not an emotion.

You don’t have to wait for the fear to leave.
You don’t have to feel 100% confident.
You don’t need a perfect plan or perfect timing.

You just have to move with the discomfort.
With the unknown.
With the doubt in your gut and the dream in your heart.
Faithfully.

Readiness isn’t something you feel—it’s something you decide.
And when you decide, everything else starts to shift.
Action builds courage. Movement builds clarity.

Start small.
Start scared.
Start.

Because you are more ready than you think.
And the moment you decide to trust that—
everything begins to move.
Not perfectly. But purposefully.

Inhale. Hold. Exhale slowly.

Sincerely. +

Control your breathing.
Relax.
Let your shoulders drop.
Feel your jaw unclench.
Soften your gaze.
Be right here.

It will help slow the chaos down—on the outside, but especially within.

Because peace doesn’t always come from fixing everything around you.
Sometimes it starts with one honest breath…
A breath that says:
“I’m here.”
“I’m safe.”
“I don’t have to carry it all right now.”

This is how we return to ourselves.
This is how we create space for clarity, compassion, and calm.

Start with the breath.
Then let peace follow. +

At the end of the day, it's worth asking:
Am I pouring from a place of love or from a place of pain?

Not to shame ourselves, but to slow down and notice:

• What story am I telling myself in this situation?
• Is fear shaping my choices, or is love guiding me?
• What would it look like to love myself well here?
• What would it look like to love others well, without trying to control them?
• Am I expecting myself to manage what isn't mine to manage?

We don't need to have it all figured out. Just notice. Just breathe. +

Sincerely,
Rachel

Did you know trusting yourself helps your brain and body relax, even when life feels uncertain?

Trusting yourself means believing in your ability to handle challenges and make good choices—even when things feel hard.

Research shows choosing trust lowers stress hormones, quiets the brain’s fear center, and helps you think clearly.

Trust is a gentle daily practice that softens your mind and body, creating space for peace and resilience to grow.

This is why it’s important to know what’s within your control—and what’s beyond it.

Trust can also be spiritual—rooted in knowing we’re not alone, and that God is with us as we do what we can and let go of what we can’t. +

Did you know that practicing compassion—toward yourself and others—can lower stress, reduce anxiety, and even improve your physical health. When we choose kindness over judgment, our brains release feel-good hormones like oxytocin, which help us feel more connected and safe.

Compassion doesn’t just heal pain; it builds resilience, helps relationships grow, and invites peace into our hearts. It’s a powerful way to transform struggle into strength. +

Did you know curiosity is one of the simplest and most effective ways to practice mindfulness? When we observe our thoughts and feelings without judgment, it creates space for greater clarity and calm. Curiosity helps reduce stress by allowing us to notice what’s happening without rushing to fix it. It brings us fully into the present moment and gently guides us toward choices that align with our true selves.

Next time you feel stuck or overwhelmed, try asking yourself, “What if I approached this with curiosity instead of criticism?” You might be surprised by how much that small shift can change your experience—one gentle breath at a time. +

Did you know that your brain is wired to notice what you tell it is important?

When you take a moment to set an intention, it’s like giving your mind a gentle compass for the day. It helps filter out noise and guides your choices in small, meaningful ways.

Intention setting isn’t about striving for perfection. It’s about remembering what matters to you, even in the middle of real life.

Setting an intention doesn’t guarantee the day will go perfectly. But it can help you come back to yourself when you feel scattered, reminding you to live aligned with what you value, one choice at a time. +

Did you know practicing gratitude can actually rewire your brain?

Research shows that gratitude activates the brain’s reward pathways and increases dopamine and serotonin—helping regulate your nervous system, reduce stress, and build emotional resilience.

It’s not about forcing happiness. It’s about pausing to notice what’s good, even on hard days, and letting that moment shift you toward peace. +

Did you know that even 2-3 minutes of mindful breathing can begin to lower cortisol and signal safety to your body?

It’s a powerful tool, not just a trendy practice.

Your breath is your anchor to the present, a way to gently interrupt spirals of worry, and a foundation for emotional resilience.

Many of us notice restlessness in stillness. That’s normal and a sign that you’re showing up for yourself in a new way.

Be curious, not critical.

Today’s practice isn’t about doing it ‘right’—it’s about letting your breath teach your body that it is safe to slow down. +
