đ February is the month of love.
And this month, in this group, Iâd love us to gently explore something a little closer to homeâŚ
our relationship with loving ourselves.
For so many of us, that idea can feel uncomfortable.
Even loaded.
I know for me, for many years, the word love brought up resistance.
It felt too big.
Too unsafe.
Too unrealistic.
Almost like something that belonged to other people â not me.
So if you hear âloving yourselfâ and feel awkward, sceptical, numb, or even irritated⌠youâre certainly not alone.
Thereâs usually a reason for that response.
Which is why I want to start with curiosity, not pressure.
⨠A couple of questions to sit with this month:
⢠How do you feel when you hear the phrase loving yourself?
⢠What comes up in your body when you hear it â tightening, warmth, nothing at all?
⢠And where do you think that reaction might come from?
This isnât about forcing self-love or getting it âright.â Itâs about noticing your relationship with the idea â with honesty and compassion.
Sometimes the most loving thing we can do is simply begin to ask the questions.
