My simple self love ritual

You will need:

Your favorite candle

Your self-love journal

A pen

A calming playlist (this is my favorite) 

To start this ritual, I want you to find a place in your home where you can be alone for a few minutes. If you prefer, you can wake up 15 minutes before everyone, to take advantage of those precious moments by yourself.

I know that if you are a mom, this can be almost impossible. So, anything works. Think bathroom, walk-in pantry, closet… Give yourself a 10-minute break. 

When you find your place, press play on your playlist and light your candle.

As you light your candle, set your intention for this moment. What do you want to take from here? More self love, more self-compassion, seeing yourself as worthy of your dreams? 

Close your eyes as you set the intention and visualize yourself already living with that as your reality. Imagine yourself living from a place of compassion and pure love for yourself. Visualize yourself living your best life, being your best version. Let the feelings that will bubble set in.

Once you open your ways, choose at least 2 questions from this list and answer them in your journal. Write as much as you can, and give yourself details. 

After that, read your answers and keep them close to your heart. Reflecting on them through your day. 

And, that’s it! Simple, isn’t it? 

You can do this little self love ritual daily, once a week, and even once a month. The important thing is to do it consistently, so you can see the results blossoming into your life. 

Investing in self love is a road to connect with your true, most authentic self, celebrating your uniqueness and owning who you are. When you do this, you can start showing up in life with a completely different attitude—the attitude of a woman who knows how valuable she is. 

You are so worthy of this!
