You know, just because February has come to an end, doesn’t mean we’re ending our daily practice of self-love.

All of the practices we’ve implemented for the last 27 days and all the ways we’ve cared for ourselves in February simply set the foundation for living a life built on self-love... a necessary component of living a FIERCE life.

Self-love can be difficult and sometimes messy. It requires showing up for yourself and doing the work, even when you’d rather be doing pretty much anything else.

It means trusting yourself and acting on the belief that you are worthy of love, acceptance, & connection, no matter what you look like, what you have or haven't done, or what you feel like.

In the FIERCE life, we know self-love isn’t just about mani/pedis and shopping sprees (which can be a blast!) It means doing the hard stuff, too—

Setting boundaries
Keeping promises to ourselves
Breaking Free from old habits
Following through with all the things we say we’re going to do

Here are some small ways to love yourself better this week...

💖Stop being so hard on yourself💖

As women, we are definitely guilty of being our own worst critic. Our inner monologue can be ruthless and cruel if we don’t keep it in check.

Instead of turning to self-criticism, we’re flipping the script: cultivate self-compassion instead. Self-compassion helps teach you that you are worthy and imperfect. Both can be true!

Imperfection doesn’t mean you don’t deserve kindness, love, or compassion. You are worthy of acceptance and forgiveness, especially when we mess up or make a mistake. Turn down the self-criticism this week and turn up the self-compassion.

We all screw up... and we can learn from it. Be kind to yourself because you'll bounce back.

💖Build your own stress-management plan💖

Spend 10 minutes reflecting not the tools you already have and the new tools you want in your stress management tool box.

Making stress management a priority can improve your mental health, physical health, sleep, and more. Having a go-to list of stress management techniques that you can use is crucial in helping you get through challenging times so you can continue to practice self-care.

Here is a list of highly effective strategies for relieving stress to help you get started!

💖Channel your happy place💖

Where and when do you feel completely at ease, happy, energized or optimistic? Maybe it’s a favorite vacation spot or a place on your daily walk that centers you; maybe it’s having your family all together or crushing it at your favorite FIERCE workout class.

Wherever it is, make a point to get to your happy place or visualize yourself there–especially when hard times hit. Consider the way something looks, feels, and smells. Make it a habit to regularly envision and revisit your happy location, either literally, figuratively or both!

Did you participate in our FIERCE Love Challenge this month?

If yes, how did it go? What did you learn? Even if you only completed one item on the list, it's probably more than what you did or were aware of in January... and we consider that a win in the FIERCE life.

I'd love to hear all about it, too! Please share your FIERCE Love experience either by replying to this email or sending me a pic of your list.

You are worth the effort.

You are worth the time.

Because you are YOU!
