My Current Battle With Self-Love

February 20, 2019

If you follow me on Instagram, you know I’ve been talking all month about self-love, self-worth, and self-esteem. At the end of January, I had an oldie-but-goodie blog featured on Thought Catalog, an online publication that I have been an avid reader of for years. I am amazed that it has over 4,000 views!

Instagram post 2191691313500557031_6775898761 WOMEN Crush Wednesday✨
.
.
Read that again... Like, not women I am crushing on - although these two are total babes - but Women [who] CRUSH Wednesdays! I like the sound of that better. You?✨
.
.
I'm getting back into a routine after spending a short holiday weekend at home with family and friends👆🏼-- I had been feeling overwhelmed with all the things I need to accomplish before the holidays. So I made a to-do list and have been checking things off, one by one!✨
.
.
What's one thing you're crushing today?! Tell me in the comments below!💪

Instagram post 2191088404278754701_6775898761 When it's boo's birthday but you're long distance... you go through your camera roll to find a picture of the two of you to post. Until you remember that your most recent post is of the two of you and your perfectionist tendencies won't allow you to post two similar photos back-to-back on your feed, so you instead post a picture of a cupcake from your own birthday and caption: This is what we would be eating if you were here...🧁
.
.
😜 But in all seriousness [and I'll keep this short and sweet since I've already talked to him today]: Happy Birthday to the man who has never once tried to tame my spirit and instead chooses to love me exactly as I am. You mean the world to me and I miss you every minute of every single day.🖤🤍

it's like I've known you all my life.
We just feel so right.
So I pour my heart into your hands,
it's like you really understand...
You love the way I am."✨

Come home already so I can kiss that handsome face and make you take new pics with me so I don't have to post ones from over a year ago. 😘

Instagram post 2180688712579510756_6775898761 I have been in a deep practice of self-love lately. And by "lately" I mean over the last two months. I alluded to it recently in a brief love letter to myself a few posts back by showing gratitude to myself for showing up in the hard, yet transformative moments.💛
.
.
As 2019 begins to come to a close, I intend to share more about this self-love journey I've been on. I have chosen to start here and now with some affirmations that I have written.💛
.
.
Here is my first. It came to me in an exercise surrounding our deepest beliefs about ourselves and how they are, in actuality, a culmination of false narratives and untruths that others have told/sold us in some way. These beliefs exist in our lives as a form of limitation. They continually and endlessly echo, "You're not good enough." Such learned beliefs challenge our most innate setting... that of self-love. And so, the task was to rewrite the narrative and affirm what is truth.💛
.
.
This I affirm: I am a goddess, inside and out. I am beautiful soul that radiates a vibrant and beautiful form.💛

Instagram post 2174245455247020799_6775898761 Screaming HAPPY BIRTHDAY🥳 to my wife, whom I married 7 years ago today. Thank you for always loving me in all of my drunkest moments especially when random guys come up to you in the bar and say, "Your girl's a firecracker!" Thank you for being my plus one to a wedding because I couldn't count on some boy to go with me. Thank you for dressing up as an angel so that I could dress up as myself for Halloween😈. And thank you for forgiving me an undisclosed number of times throughout the last 6 years that I have somehow forgotten your birthday AND our anniversary.🙈
.
.
Thank you for laughing through life with me and for always being the friend that, no matter how often or how little we talk, when we reunite... absolutely nothing has changed.👯‍♀️
.
.
LAVA YOU! And I hope this birthday and this year is as special as you are!😘

Instagram post 2170114292970550490_6775898761 My friend @ashvaughn challenged her friends to write a love letter to themselves today and as I sat down to do some personal development work... this is what I felt compelled to say to myself.💛
.
.
The lifework I have been doing for the past seven weeks has been challenging. At times, it has rocked me to my core to face inner demons that I rarely speak about, not even to my closest friends or loved ones.💛
.
.
So today, my love letter is simply to show a bit of gratitude to myself for showing up... even on the days when I don't want to face the truths the may lie ahead. The act of showing up for myself, and rediscovering who I am is one of the greatest acts of self-love. And I'm so grateful to be on this personal journey with myself.💛

Instagram post 2169179698406547538_6775898761 It was a year ago today that I was waking up in Destin, FL for the very first time. It felt surreal then, and quite frankly, it just felt like I was on vacation. Of course, it is paradise here, but at times I really did wonder if I could make this place "home" in the same way that I had made DC "home" for five years.✨
.
.
Turns out, the answer was yes. But unlike the life I had created in DC, which on paper, had so many of society's boxes checked off, but left my heart and soul in an emotional turmoil... here in Destin, I've settled into a home WITHIN myself.✨
.
.
One where I feel peace, and joy, and positive energy every day. I feel more connected to the world, to others, and to myself. And when I reflect on that, I've realized that those are the core desired feelings I've been in search of for all of my adult life.✨
.
.
And so, as I head into the next year, and the next decade(‼️), I'm putting my efforts into embracing, protecting, and enhancing those feelings over and over and over again. Every single day.✨
.
.
And one thing I can guarantee that means for you all is seeing more sunset photos like this... because man, there's absolutely nothing like them around here.✨

Instagram post 2166995428548171206_6775898761 Lately, I've been focusing on nourishing my body with high energy foods (AKA foods that make my body feel positively vitalized). And so I've been hooked on açaí bowls recently... as in it's the only thing I crave right now. My coworker and I found a place nearby work and treated ourselves to a bowl... aaand one of their specialty toasts.😋
