WATERING YOURSELF

Motivation and drive are fickle and when it’s just not there, it can be so hard to force it. This is why I have SO MUCH deep awareness and gratitude in any phase of my life when I FEEL urges, tugs, messages, revelations, shifts in perspective, shifts in energy and the surge to make some changes in my decisions, behaviors and how I am showing up in life. THAT SHIT IS A WHOLE GIFT. 

The energy around my birthday really ushered me into a heavy self phase and in the midst of a busy week with many obligations, I got a pull to prioritize watering myself. I mapped out some structured intentions as a guide because that’s exactly who I am lol. 

Below is some organized outlining. May it spark whatever you need and allow you to make some promises to yourself that you can keep. 

So, what watering do you need right now?

Consider ways to give yourself: kindness, patience, compassion, forgiveness, trust, understanding, respect, belief, light, gentleness, acceptance and love 

And, how can you incorporate that watering into your key areas of life? 

LIVELIHOOD & LIFESTYLE 

career, money, work, home, space, travel, resources

BODY & WELLNESS 

healing, fitness, food, rest, relaxation, mental health

CREATIVITY & LEARNING 

artistic, self-expression, interests, education, hobbies

RELATIONSHIPS & SOCIETY 

romance, friendship, family, collaboration, community

ESSENCE & SPIRITUALITY 

soul, inner self, truth, intention, faith, practices

Some of the best times to do self-work and dial up the self-love is when you are hurting, when you feel stuck, when you feel unclear, when you are in limbo. It will save you every time. I hope you have a beautiful week that hugs you tight in all the areas you need right now.

Dropping some cute quotes I’ve come across this week. Peace! 

“When we meet ourselves from a place of genuine care for who we are and out well-being we can manage life a little more easily”

“Learning to trust yourself is your life’s work. Even if it sucks to be reminded in cruel ways” 

“You are the silver lining”

“Call your energy back” 

“If you feel stuck, use the time to take accountability for your life. Health, habits, routine etc.
