Monday Motivation - I love the person I am and the person I am becoming.

Hello Reader, February is the season of love with Valentine’s Day halfway through the month. So what better time to practice a self love affirmation?? 😉 I love the person I am and the person I am becoming. One of the things I think about a lot is how many of my beliefs about myself—about my limitations in particular—were learned. I wasn’t born hating specific things about my body or my appearance. I wasn’t born thinking I needed to change certain aspects of my personality in order to be loved or accepted. I wasn’t born with perfectionism and a fear of failure. I was taught those things, both explicitly and not. By my parents. By the school system. By media and advertisements. And it was incredibly freeing to realize that if I wasn’t born with all these negative beliefs. If I learned them—I could UNlearn them! This was finally the key for me. Before this realization, it felt impossible to change. It’s a lifelong practice, this unlearning of hating myself. The world we live in has a lot of very entrenched systems in place to keep me on that hamster wheel. Because if I’m unhappy, maybe I’ll spend money to fix it or feel better. But I’ve been actively working on it for literal years now. Since 2021, in fact. Learning to love myself, or at least accept myself, has freed up space in my brain for fun things. I worry much less about what people think about me. I am more willing to take a risk, or fail at something. I’m willing to experiment. I’m willing to admit I’m wrong, and to apologize. When I love who I am, I accommodate my needs instead of pretending they don’t exist. That’s why I have purse snacks on me at all times! Literally everyone has a better time if I don’t get hangry. I've also accepted that I need way more sleep than my husband, instead of being pointlessly jealous of his extra time. I’ve seen the benefits spill over into all areas of my life, so I hope this affirmation can help you start or continue a self love journey too. We remind ourselves 21x each day: I love the person I am and the person I am becoming. ❤️ |

Hey Reader, This affirmation is one I come back to again and again. I have all the time I need. It's an oldie but a goodie. Like a timeless LBD, it never goes out of style or use. When we strip everything else away, we have enough time for what we need. Enough time to sleep, to nourish our bodies/minds/souls, to care for others, to do meaningful work. It's all that other shit that gets in the way! Things like: Calls and texts at all hours.App notifications that pop up on their time line, not...

Hello Reader, Our affirmation stays the same again this week: I am always in the right place at the right time for what’s meant to be. I'll be honest: this affirmation hasn't been resonating super well with me. I haven't seen any movement on the job/money/gigs front. I don't feel like I'm in the right place. I'm overwhelmed with the amount of chaos happening in our country right now and I keep re-opening decisions I thought I'd made & put behind me. But when I look back over the past two...
