Affirmation: “I am proud of myself.”
Journal Prompt:
What am I proud of about myself?
Self-Care Ritual:
Today’s affirmation and journal prompt spoke about being proud of ourselves. And I don’t know about you, but it sure was a difficult question for me to tackle. I came to the realization that it’s really more about the things we say to ourselves, in our head and out loud.
For most of us (me included), it’s much easier to pick out negative things. We get caught up in the thoughts and beliefs like:
* we’re not enough
* our bodies aren’t right
* we don’t earn enough
* we can’t do things a certain way
* we don’t look right
* and the list goes on, and on, and on.
We don’t realize, or sometimes even see, the amazing things that we have going on in our life. But it’s our job to be our own best friend, our own cheerleader, and our own biggest fan!
Today, our self-care ritual is to practice the art of “complimenting ourselves.” At first, it’s likely to feel uncomfortable, but after a few attempts, I know you’ll get the hang of it. Just do your best to be truly kind to you – by paying attention to the amazing person you are, and all the “good” you’ve got going on.
And here’s the really great part – when you focus on the good, you’ll get more good! So, acknowledge how great you are! And here’s a bonus challenge – be super brave, and leave a post in the comments, so we can all be amazed, and you can receive the bonus benefit of how others acknowledge it too!
Love and light to you!
