🌱 Your Weekend Love Practice
This weekend, try this simple exercise:
Write down three things you appreciate about yourself—not achievements, but qualities. Maybe it’s your resilience, your sense of humor, or the way you make others feel seen. Then, share one of these with someone you trust. Practice receiving their affirmation without deflecting.
Self-love isn’t selfish. It’s the oxygen mask principle: you can’t pour from an empty cup.
