The term “self love” gets thrown around a lot. So what is it? And why is it so important?
One reason why self love is hard to define is because it looks different for everyone. Whether it’s taking a bath, saying “no” to that party, saying “yes” to that party, self-pleasuring, taking space from toxic people...self love is not defined as the thing you are doing or not doing.
It’s a mindset! Self love is about your inner landscape. It’s being in a consensual relationship to yourself.
These elements of self love and kindness have extremely helped me find a more consensual relationship with me...a relationship that I now centralize and prioritize in my life.
You Are Inherently Worthy
Knowing your inherent worth means you love yourself unconditionally.
You don’t love yourself only post-orgasm, when someone just told you that you are beautiful, or when you ticked an item off of your “to-do” list.
You are enough as you are. Glorious. Wonderful. Being.
HERE ARE YOUR JOURNAL AND ACTION PROMPTS FOR THE DAY:
Everything you and I have ever done was an attempt to meet a need. What needs are you trying to meet? (You can refer to the needs list here) Maybe some self forgiveness is needed?
Write them all down.
What are some strategies you could use to get some of those needs met? (Some can be super simple like hydrate, take a nap, eat food, etc)
Remember to:
Light your candle or incense.
Take 3 deep breaths into the belly. Tuning into that felt sense of safety in the body, surroundings, or a memory. (your resource from our first somatic practice)
Set your timer. Up to you how long. (I do between 10-20 mins)
And begin.

Paradigm Shifter:
Choose your own reality.
You are in charge.
You are in charge of your breath.
You are in charge of your thoughts.
You are in charge of your commitments.
You are in charge of what you say or don't say.
You are in charge.
And when you can honor that you are in charge, you can then consciously design your life!
You are in charge of your beliefs.
Your feelings.
Your truth.
You have divine power, and when you let the breath move through you like this, when you give yourself this deep self-care like you are on this journey, you really are creating your life.
Know this.
Nobody has the power that you do.
So choose, powerfully.
Your life is meant to be MAGNIFICENT.
You are meant to wake up every morning with a huge divine smile on your face, and I don't want you to settle for anything less than that!
Keep practicing.
Keep coming home to you.
And take charge.
Create what you desire.
In your journal:
Knowing that I have created my life this far makes me feel:
Moving forward, I will:
With super sexy self care and all my love,
