Fall in love with yourself

Here's a reminder to fall in love with yourself today! I'm clearly loving myself in this photo 😂

What things can you do today for your favourite person = you?

It's so easy to fall into 'achieving' and 'productivity' mode and forget that we can *choose* how to live our lives. This is a gentle nudge for you to put yourself in the driver's seat and decide that you are going to treat yourself with absolute love today.

If you're feeling stressed and frazzled, ask yourself why. Does this state of mind make you feel like you're being more productive, or are you trying to make others think you're more productive? Have you overstretched yourself with commitments? Do you need to take a break and recharge? How's your self-care lately? When's the last time you had unbridled FUN?

I write this from the heart because for years I was kind of addicted to this overachieving, stressed-out state. I thought that working hard AF was admirable behaviour, and in reality I was just depleting myself. It took me a few twists and turns to change my perspective, I went on sabbatical and became a student of my own stress management. I upped my self care, made a list of coping mechanisms, and read a lot. A few helpful sources come to mind, such as Arianna Huffington’s book Thrive, Chillpreneur by Denise Duffield-Thomas, and studying Buddhist philosophy and trying to apply it to my existence as a woman in the 21st century.

When I returned to work, a lot of my old behaviours didn't come with me. I automated as much of my business as possible and stopped being so lightning fast with emails. I made boundaries with clients and added more treats to our performance riders :)

I still slip now and again, planning events and performing on stage can really get the adrenaline going. It can be hard to tell when excitement turns to stress. Staying on top of my self-care and self-love gives me such a strong starting point.

Sometimes it just takes a little reminder like this one to switch gears and move your focus to treating yourself with more love. You deserve it!

What are some ways you can love yourself today? Other than the obvious 😁
