"Self-love is a journey for most of us. It's not a destination because - as with anything in life - there are always opportunities and experiences that we can engage with to expand the way we experience self-love."
In this week's episode, we focus on a journaling technique that can elevate self-love.
Tune in now to explore:
- What self-love is and what it looks like.
- The correlation between self-love and how we show up in the world.
- Why a lack of self-love can spark people-pleasing tendencies.
- Understanding that self-love isn't selfish.
- The link between self-love and authentic service.
"Self-love is saying positive things to yourself. It's having that ability to check the inner critic, so it doesn't drag you down."
- Why more is better when practicing list journaling.
- What to do if the inner critic shows up when compiling your list?
- Why list journaling works best when you sit with it.
- Remember how loving words can elevate and inspire.
- What would happen if the self-love switch was activated all over the world?
- And more...
It takes courage to cultivate self-love -- especially if you've been shut down in the past and told that you are bragging or a big head. Allowing yourself to create a self-love list can open the gateway to more courage, confidence, and appreciation for who you are.
What's more, the more self-love you feel, the more loving you can be towards other people (because you have more love to give).
This week's journaling prompt.
Write a list of things you love about yourself?
