THE SELF LOVE REMEDY

Self love is sometimes taking the time to know thy self daily.

Self love is sometimes standing back and watching the ride.

Self love is sometimes walking away.

Self love is sometimes acceptance.

Self love is sometimes forgiveness (of others and yourself)

Self love is sometimes loving you more

Self love is something putting you first.

Self love is sometimes taking a day off.

Self love is sometimes saying no and meaning it.

Self love is sometimes just asking for what you want.

Self love is sometimes deciding to consciously make moves in silence.

Self love sometimes means telling the truth (to yourself and others)

Self love is the inner understanding that your time will come, so you patiently wait your turn.

Self love sometimes looks like showing up and being yourself unapologetically, no matter how uncomfortable it makes others feel.

Self love is sometimes blocking, muting, unfollowing things and people that no longer service you.

Self love sometimes looks like speaking out.

Self love is sometimes telling people fuck off, when necessary. 

13 June 2022

So...last month, a couple of my friends and I created our own 90 Day “Glow Up” challenge. We created goals that we wanted to accomplish together (e.g., trying a new recipe each week, working out 4-5 times a week, etc.). Additionally, we each created individual goals that we want to work towards during this time frame. Unlike some of the challenges I have seen gain popularity on social media (e.g., tik tok, insta, etc.) a component we added was that if you “mess up” or are inconsistent one day, you just try again the next day. There is no restarting or punishing ourselves. Instead, we will check in with ourselves, reflect on what’s working and what hasn’t been working, and then keep trying. We, officially, started our challenge on May 30, 2022 and will complete it on August 31, 2022. 

I have decided to start making accountability posts pertaining to my individual goals on this blog. My friends and I have been keeping up with each other on a shared google doc that we used to outline all the “rules” of our challenge. However, there have been days where I have not been as consistent as I want to be. I feel that making additional posts here will help me to stay on track. 

I also want to emphasize that with this challenge, the focus is not just on physical health. Additionally, instead of being stuck on losing weight, my personal aim is to build up my strength and increase my endurance. I also want to focus on my mental and spiritual health. Basically, my main goal is to really work on loving and being kinder to myself and my body. I’m using this summer to focus on myself and improve myself for, you guessed it, myself.

My next post will be my first accountability post for this week. Stay tuned :)

Give yourself time. If it takes longer for you to do everyday things, it’s okay. if you need longer to make a decision, it’s okay as well. if it takes longer for you to get out of bed or to gather motivation to do things, it is okay. please do not rush yourself, please do not feel bad because others need less time than you do, it is okay. you decide how much time you need and you set the pace. and guess what? that is totally okay. Give yourself time. ♡
