IT'S DAY 2!! And I want to talk about self love. Before we dive into fun challenges like treating yourself to your favorite drink, buying yourself flowers, or watching the sunrise (which are all coming), I feel like we have to start here.
Today's challenge will be a little reading and response. I would love for you to follow along in your head, in a journal or have a great conversation about it with someone who you trust. This is thought provoking and can take you as long as you need/want. Follow up with yourself throughout the week and just see where it takes you!
LET'S TALK ABOUT LOVE...
Who do you love?
I want you to think of a person or people individually. Make a list if you want. Who are the people who you just absolutely ADORE?
Your bestie. Your partner. Your mom. Your kids. Your cousin. Your dog haha! Name them.
What do you love about them?
Why do they come to mind? How do they make you smile?
They're hilarious. They know just when I need them. Their company is calming. Think through your people and why you love them so much.
How did you fall in love with them?
This is a harder question, right? Its hard to answer because it didn't happen overnight. It wasn't love at first sight. Think through this one.
You laughed over a cup of coffee, you made the best memory at 2am, you realized you loved the same music, the inside jokes write themselves.
All of the specific moments come down to this...you spent time with them, you got to know them, you took care of each other, you showed up for each other, you laughed with them (or at them ha!). The memories that add up bring you to a place that you just love them SOOOO much.
Got it? Now let's flip it. How do you fall in love with you? It's the same, babe. Spend time with yourself. Get to know yourself. Take care of yourself. Show up for yourself. Laugh at yourself! (Life just isn't that serious) As you go through the challenges this month, I hope you can see this happen for you. Remember, IT TAKES TIME. It takes commitment. And guess what? You're already doing it. It's day 2 and its time to put in the work and I'm here to help.
How are you going to fall more in love with yourself today?
I would love to hear any feedback or good journaling/conversations that come out of this challenge! It's such a beautiful realization and a perfect mindset for self love!
See you tomorrow for your first #adenamademedoit challenge that actually requires going and DOING something. Not just journaling and reflecting. I can't wait!!
