Hello beautiful souls!!

This month of love, I invite you to learn to LOVE YOURSELF, 1st and foremost.

I know that we cover this topic often…and it is because it is important!! Your relationship with yourself is the basis for every other relationship you will ever have on this planet. This does not only apply to your human relationships, but your relationship with everything and everyone around you. How you relate to and treat yourself dictates how you treat other people, animals – your pets or those in the wild, nature, your home etc. Don’t believe me?

Starting today… pay attention to your self talk. Is it positive and encouraging, loving and kind? Do you approach yourself with anger or love? Next, see how this is reflected in your relationship with the world around you.

This is such an awesome exercise and is best done from an objective perspective, simply allowing yourself the space to observe, with curiosity, your thoughts and actions. This gives you a great basis point to start from in shifting your self talk, self perception and the way you treat yourself, to that of love, acceptance, kindness, and care. Each time thereafter that you notice your actions and self talk are not rooted in positivity, respect and love, you can consciously shift this.

Another very important aspect that many of us neglect… TAKING TIME EACH DAY to do something that MAKES US HAPPY, something that is just for us, that fills our cup. When last did you do something to pamper yourself? Now I hear some of you saying that you simply don’t have the time and/or that taking time to treat yourself is selfish! The truth is… the less time that you perceive you have, the more you need to take some time out. And regarding selfishness, how can you possibly give energy to others if you have not taken regular time to recharge yourself? It is in fact not fair on the world around you when you try to pour from an empty cup.

So, I lovingly invite you, starting from today to take at least 30 mins each day to do something which energises and recharges you. Something just for you!! Do this for 30 days and see the difference it makes. We will join you! If you are going for gold add a daily practice of meditation and journaling, even if you only have 15 minutes available per day.

Meditation helps to quiet and focus the mind, and journaling provides a safe space to offload your thoughts and emotions, a safe place to just be and to see your growth.
