9.23.24 A Boost of Self Love!
Hi friend,
In case you need to hear it today:
You are doing an amazing job
You are doing enough
You’re a good mom/dad/partner/parent/friend/coach/etc
You are so loved
Everything works out
This season that you’re in, particularly if it feels challenging, won’t be like this forever
You deserve to be well
You are learning, right on time
You have everything you need
These are just some of the phrases, but I find helpful when in challenging moments.
Critical voices can get really loud, especially during new seasons in our life - whether that’s becoming a new parent, adding another child to your family, starting a new job, moving to a new home, holding a new boundary, applying for a new leadership role, launching a new program, on and on and on.
One of the best gifts we can give ourselves is to pay attention to our self talk, and our mindsets.
TO LOVE ON OURSELVES ON PURPOSE.
In ALL my work, with groups or clients individually, we touch on this in someway.
How we speak to ourselves matters.
If you’re in a tough season, or tough moment, I like to take a balanced approach … (I suppose that's my Libra rising).
Allow the truth of the tough moment. Acknowledge and feel the frustration, worry, disappointment, fear, etc.
AND, actively seek what is working.
Build from a place of strength. Intentionally find your foundation, ground into it, and proceed from there.
Celebrate how you showed up, what you learned, who you connected with, what gratitude can be found. Boost your self love using your own words and your own wisdom.
Try it right now - What is it that you really need to hear today?
Can you write it down, put it somewhere that you can see it? or go look at yourself in the mirror and tell it to your own reflection?
Seeking our the strengths and wins is NOT about discounting hardship, it’s about remaining in your own power, staying rooted in the larger perspective, and giving our attention to the strengths we want to grow.
I hope speak some loving words to yourself today - you deserve it!
Lots of love,
Jess
