As Valentine’s Day approaches, I’ve heard the anticipatory questions: 😬
“Who will ask me to be their Valentine?”
“Is he/she planning something special for me?”
“What will I do if nobody sends me anything?”

My answer...
Your worth and value do not lie in the words or actions of someone else! Be your own Valentine! ❤️

Show yourself the love, adoration, and attention that you know you deserve.
There is no need to wait for someone else to validate you. ⭐

Whether you have someone to spend Valentine’s Day (or any day, for that matter) with or not, be sure to honor and love YOURSELF.

🍰Buy yourself that decadent treat- only you truly know how much you deserve it!

🌄Take a walk in a place that brings you joy, or explore a new area, embracing your strength of curiosity and appreciation of beauty in nature.

🛁Relax in a nice bath with some delicious treats and a great playlist. (I always default to “coffee house jazz” on these occassions.)

You are worth your own time, love, and respect. Go out and enjoy it!

You’ve got this! You can do it... 💕

We all need little boosts of happiness now and then. A great way to help yourself is to focus on the positive things happening around you.

By seeking out kindnesses, you will find joy in the small acts you receive and give! Your brain will focus on positive experiences, creating more happiness throughout your day.

As you reflect on the 3 events that went well, why they were special, and how they made you feel, you tap into your strength of gratitude- a wonderful exercise in creating a more positive and happy life.

Reminding yourself of a time you were at your best- your authentic self - is a helpful way to tap into who you truly are. It highlights the unique gifts you have to offer, and gives the reassurance that you’ve been there before and will get there again!

Any one of these exercises is sure to bring a smile to your face and boost your happiness. Please let me know which works the best for you!

Your feelings matter.
Who you KNOW you are matters.
How you talk to yourself matters. Your dreams and goals matter.
Be kind to yourself.
You matter.
Be proud of yourself.
You are unique and important.
You matter.
You are loved.
You matter.

Yes, life is full of ups and yep- those downs, too.
When life’s hardships hit, do you treat yourself as you would a close friend, or do you tend to default toward criticism and harsh judgement? 😬

Practice these three elements of self compassion to begin your journey toward self acceptance and improved emotional well-being. 🥰

We all deserve to be treated with kindness and compassion- especially from ourselves.

The confidence and freedom that comes with authenticity is immeasurable. It's a weightlessness that sometimes makes me feel as if I really could lift right off of the ground!

When you aren't weighed down by the thoughts, opinions, and choices of everyone else, you free yourself to focus on more productive thoughts and actions that will take you down a path of confidence, purpose, and accomplishment.

Stop focusing on what everyone else is doing and focus on what YOU need for fulfillment. What are your strengths, and how do you lean into them when a challenge arises? What are your values, and are your choices aligned with them?

It's never too late to dive into becoming the most genuine version of yourself!

Are you a self-proclaimed "people pleaser"?

Often seen as pleasant and kind people who are helpful and accommodating on the surface, people pleasing can often lead to low self-esteem, frustration, burn out, loss of identity, and anxiety.

People pleasing is often a way to gain acceptance, seek validation, and feel loved, but at the expense of your own true happiness and authenticity.

If you relate to this, try these steps to begin moving away from people pleasing habits.

-Say "no" when asked to do something you don't have time or desire to do.

-Create clear boundaries and communicate them.

-Make sure your words/actions align with your core values, regardless of what those around you may be saying or doing.

-Schedule time to take care of your own needs- mentally, physically, and spiritually.

-Find a mantra to keep you on your path to personal growth.
You can start with, "My worth is not dependent on the validation of others."

*If your people pleasing and fawning is a result of trauma, please seek help from a therapist.*

You've got this! Can do it!

By taking action toward self-growth and emotional regulation, you also begin to create a sense of security for those around you.

As you collect important tools and techniques on your journey, you can share them and model how to use them.

It's an amazing gift of empowerment for yourself and others!
