Be Your Own Best Friend

Happy February! While Valentine’s Day often focuses on loving others, this month, we’re turning the spotlight inward. Let’s talk about the ultimate act of bravery: self-love. When we nurture ourselves, we fuel our energy, deepen our joy, and show up for life with more resilience and grace.

What if you treated yourself the way you treat your closest friend—with kindness, encouragement, and forgiveness? Self-love isn’t selfish; it’s essential. By prioritizing our well-being, we create the energy to bravely face challenges and share our gifts with the world.


SIMPLE WAYS TO PRACTICE SELF-LOVE

MIRROR LOVE RICHuals™

Each morning, take a moment to look in the mirror, smile at yourself, and say something kind. Try phrases like:

  • "I am proud of you."

  • "I am worthy of love and joy."

  • "I am doing my best, and that’s enough."

ENERGY PROTECTION PRACTICE

Protecting your energy is like setting a boundary of love around yourself. Imagine a golden bubble surrounding you—a bubble that lets in light and love while keeping negativity out. When you feel overwhelmed, visualize this bubble and take a deep, grounding breath.

DATE YOURSELF

Schedule solo time to do something you love. Whether it’s reading a book, taking a walk, or treating yourself to a fabulous dinner, invest in moments that bring you joy and peace.

THE POWER OF “Micro-JOYS®

Small joys create big shifts. Pause during your day to notice and savor the little things—a cozy blanket, your favorite song, or sunlight streaming through a window. These micro-moments are love notes to your soul.


ENERGY RESET TIPS

Feeling drained? Try these quick resets:

  • Movement: Dance FULL OUT for 1 minute or do a quick stretch.

  • Breathwork: Inhale for 3 counts, hold for 4, exhale for 5. Repeat.

  • Gratitude Pause: Name 3 things you’re grateful for in the moment.
