The Love Month Celebration! 🎊🥰
Why wait for Feb 14? 😮
Hey hey everyone, I hope this post finds you doing well. 💖
I know February is usually about romantic love and Valentine’s Day itself, but I wanted us to start a little earlier, setting the tone just right hehe.
This week is going to be about something quieter for ourselves and often harder too.
🎊 Our relationship with ourselves. 🎊
(Graphic creation credit to AI tool hehe)
People who know me here know that I’ve always advocated for self-love and for showing up for self. While there’s no right or the only way to show ourselves love and kindness, this time we dig a lil deeper into knowing ourselves better and then bettering our relationship with self.
This isn’t the social media advertised, aesthetic version of self love. Not “do your nails and everything is fixed.” Or “eat cake and you’re happy now” instant ‘hacks’.
But the real-er kind. 👀The kind that involves accountability, awareness, honesty, boundaries, self trust, and learning how to stay on your own side. Something that goes a longer way, something that is meant to shift narratives and shake the unhelpful beliefs you’ve formed for yourself.
I’ll be sharing one post each day, like a little Valentine week for yourself lol. Each day will have a theme, a small insight, and something gentle you can reflect on if you want. While I encourage everyone to join in, I know it’s not the easiest thing to do, allowing yourself to remind yourself that you’re someone you can love too, so there’s noo pressure to participate or reply to everything. You’re welcome to just read too and take what helps. I want all of us to learn, try and nurture our relationship with ourselves, but at our pace, there’s no rush at all. 🫂💖
Here’s the flow for the week. I’ll link each day here as I post:
💌Day 1: Being True To Ourselves💌
💗 Day 2: First Date With Yourself 💗
❤️🩹 Day 3: Unlearning With Kindness ❤️🩹
💞 Day 4: Creating Safety Within Ourselves 💞
💝 Day 5: Choosing Love Each Day 💝
❤️🩹 Day 6: Forgiving Myself, Gently ❤️🩹
🎀 Day 7: Accountability, Compassion and Boundaries 🎀
🧡 Day 8: (Re)Building Self-Trust 🧡
🌸 Day 10: Showing Up, Choosing Yourself 🌸

@daydreammemories
Sooo typically, we get notified on a subscribed thread only when there’s a new post made/ comment added to a thread, but I tend to reply in this thread after updating the links in the original thread, so yes for this one, you can access the series easily by subscribing to this (masterpost - ish) thread.
I’d be ofcourse happy to tag you too, Day! 💗
