It's day 10 of 31, can you believe we are already about a third of the way through this challenge? I have heard from so many of you that some of these challenges have been incredibly hard, some have taught you things you didn't even know were coming, and some have brought you joy. What a crazy ride! Stick in there, there's so much more to come! But just a reminder, if you aren't feeling like you can get to these on the day, save it for later. You can always complete the challenge at your own pace but I would just love for you to really complete it!
Day 10 is a thinking/journaling/conversation challenge. If you follow my Blush & Tease Instagram you may have heard me to talk about this a few weeks ago and the feedback was really powerful, so I wanted to share it here with you too.
Question: What do the people who love you love about you?
I feel like that's a lot of words in one question, so read it again if you need to.
In other words...If you asked the people who love you what they love about you, what would they say? Why do people love you?
Before you get set on your answer...I don't want you name something physical (example: my booty) or something that's a skill (example: cooking). Although those are very important things that you should applaud and hear all of the compliments for, I'm talking about who you are as a person. It's why they want to go to coffee with you, hang out with you, be your friend, marry you, chat on the phone, whatever. What do the people who love you love about you?
These are some of the answers I got when I asked on instagram...
I'm fiercely loyal.
I have a warm & comforting soul
My positivity
I'm consistent
I sit with them where they are
I'm inspiring
I make people feel at home
Spend some time giving yourself some love for how you show up for other people.
And when you're ready, move onto the next question...
Do you also offer that to yourself?
Are you fiercely loyal to yourself? If you're kind & generous, are you like that to yourself? If you're consistent for your friends & family, you show up whenever they need you, are you also consistent to yourself? See where I'm going here? Maybe people say you brighten up a room when you come in, when you spend time with yourself, do you feel that light?
We are giving a part of us to the people that we love and my hope for you in this challenge is that you recognize those pieces of who you are in the way you treat yourself as well. If you do, AMAZING...keep it up! If you don't, spend time thinking of how you can show up for yourself in the same way you're showing up for the people you love. Because showing up for YOU and loving YOU is the goal.
