I’m currently taking a coaching class on how to use intuition to help myself and others, and last night, during the self-care module, we were asked to list five things we love about ourselves—on the spot.
Without hesitation, I rattled them off:
✨ I am a great mom.
✨ I am smart.
✨ I help people by telling my story.
✨ I am resilient and strong.
✨ I am kind and empathetic.
Honestly, I could have kept going. And that realization filled me with pride.
Because a year ago? I would have stumbled. My mind would have gone blank. I would have struggled to say even one thing with confidence. If you had asked me back then, I probably would have deflected, laughed nervously, or minimized my strengths. But last night, the words flowed naturally, and I felt them in my heart.
That moment was proof of how much I’ve grown. Over the past year, I’ve put in the work—learning, healing, unlearning old patterns, and stepping into a version of myself that feels whole. I’ve let go of self-doubt and embraced self-love in a way that once felt impossible. And that feels worth celebrating.
This week, our homework is to take ourselves on a date and reflect on this question:
"Would you want to date (or work) with yourself? Why or why not?"
I love this challenge. It’s not just about self-care; it’s about self-appreciation. How often do we truly take time to enjoy our own company? To show ourselves the same love and attention we give so freely to others?
I can’t wait to plan something special—maybe a slow morning with coffee and journaling, a long walk in nature, or even a solo dinner at a cozy restaurant. Whatever I choose, I know it will be intentional. Because I deserve that.
And so do you.
Would you want to date (or work) with yourself? If the answer is anything less than an enthusiastic "YES," maybe it's time to start treating yourself the way you deserve. 💛
