The Year of Self-Love

In January 2023’s issue, I declared that this would be the year of self-love. I would begin a new life chapter full of time, space and energy devoted to my physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Instead of primarily focusing on how to manifest my next beloved King, I would rather shift that intention and change my point of attraction to cultivate a loving relationship with myself first.

The journey so far has certainly had some exquisite twists and turns, which have all lead to the wisdom I will take with me along the way into 2024. Here’s what I’ve learned this year:

1. The only person that can shift your present experiences and lifestyle is you. Be mindful of what you are telling yourself day in and out as it becomes your reality, and continue to ask yourself, “Do I like the choices I am making?”
2. When you give yourself the personal space to simply just be with your own choice of meditation or mindfulness, your breath slows down, deepens and expands. This results in your body nourishing itself with rest and relaxation.
3. When you are able to detach from others’ perceptions of you, you profoundly feel into your deepest truths. You will begin to trust your inner voice and step into sharing it with others from a place of clarity, strength and compassion. Just remember, you deserve to be heard and treated with kindness, respect and honour too.
4. When you bring your intention to building and cultivating self-confidence, the empowerment and momentum that unfold thereafter will be ever present, and titillating AF.
5. Trust your vibes.

Whether you’re just hearing about self-love today for the first time, or you are a seasoned veteran at warming your own heart, please stay tender and gentle with yourself as you continue to grow within. It’s inevitable to encounter some wobbly bits as you anchor into new choices, relationships and beginnings, however the more kind and self-loving you can be as you change, the more fun you will have along the way, mama.
