How I am working on Self Love


Separating Worth from Output

v  Practice being OKAY even when nothing is ‘checked off’

v  Recognizing that self-worth is not related to output

v  Slow days are not related to failure

v  Finding worth outside of work.

Forgiving Myself

v  Acknowledging I didn’t know better

v  Choosing learning over self-blame

v  Applying the art of kintsugi in real life

v  Reflecting, learning and growing with every mistake

Living by 80/20 rule

v  Expecting days off from the schedule, because life happens

v  Being kind to myself when it does

v  Loving myself where I am, not where I wish I was

v  Choosing progress over perfection

Accepting Flaws

v  Accepting that some traits are part of me, not problems

v  Letting myself be a work in progress

v  Not turning every flaw into a project

v  Enjoying the in-between version of me

Changing inner voice

v  Asking ‘is this helpful or just familiar?’

v  Replacing harsh self-talk with honesty, not false positivity

v  Knowing that growth doesn’t require self-punishment

Choosing me in small ways

v  Checking in with myself before committing

v  Leaving rooms that drain me

v  Choosing rest, nourishment or boundaries when needed
