Self Love & Self Care

My Self Care Reference Guide

This chart (below) is essentially self care in a nutshell! Keep it as a reference, save it, pin it, or print it, so you can keep it handy and refer to it any time. It’s a handy reference guide for when you are not feeling good and you need to know how to mend that.

I use these exact questions and follow up actions to care for myself every single day. I included this in my
my upcoming book, The Power Of Self Care, but I wanted to you to have it now, even before my book comes out, so that you can start tailoring your self care to suit your specific needs, right away.

See, self care is not a throw it at the wall and see what sticks kind of thing. Self care is best applied through asking yourself specific questions such as, which part of me needs my care, and what can I do to meet that need?

There are different parts of you, your mind, your body, your heart, and your soul, and they each need specific care, and will call out to you in different ways when that care is needed.

Feeling angry? That’s your heart.
Feeling lost? That’s your soul.
Feeling fatigued? That’s your body.
Feeling anxious? That’s your mind.

Once you know which part of you needs care, you can go ahead and give it what it needs. See my handy dandy chart below to learn all about your different states of being and what they mean, and what you can do for yourself in each one, so you can feel better sooner, and more of the time.

I hope this helps you. Feel free to share with someone you know who may benefit as well 🙂

Sending you my love & light,

Your outer world ALWAYS reflects what’s happenin Your outer world ALWAYS reflects what’s happening in your inner world. 
Work on calming, soothing, loving the inside first, then allow your life to follow 💕✨.
It’s not always about the next thing, it’s not It’s not always about the next thing, it’s not always about the end result. 
You can be happy with where you are while still working towards more. 
In fact, appreciating what’s already worked out for you is what will take you toward your desired outcomes even more quickly. 
What we take for granted now is what we were once striving for. 
That matters. That counts. Use the momentum of that as you move forward. Appreciate what’s already yours. How much you already have. And more and more will continue to flow into you. That is abundance. It’s a mindset not a destination.
Love is in unlimited supply, within you. You are t Love is in unlimited supply, within you. You are the source of that love. Find it within you, it’s there, always has been, always will be. Let it fill you up, allow it to make you whole. Then share the overflow of that love, that feeling, with others. Other people are not the source of your wholeness or self worth. They can never fill the void you feel. Only you can. You’re supposed to discover this in this lifetime, you’re meant to discover that everything you need is already inside of you. And that your self worth lies not only in recognizing and owning that, but also in how much value your heart and soul carry for others on this earth. You have value, you can make an impact, you already are. Time to start seeing that lovely 💕.

You are important, so is every part of you. When you begin to realize this, you will unlock your potential, you will feel at home with yourself, you will finally see that their is nothing wrong with you, that the parts you’ve been taught not to love, not only need your love, but are likely the best parts of you, and need to come into the light. 

In this episode, I talk about understanding you have value and learning how the different parts of you have value as well. Learning to understand your emotions and see them as important is the key to knowing your worth.

Learning to leave things as they are, allowing mys Learning to leave things as they are, allowing myself to be misunderstood so that I can keep my peace. Distancing myself from the loudness of others’ opinions, so that I can hear my own, especially when the subject is me.

Don’t overlook your progress, It’s the key to Don’t overlook your progress,
It’s the key to feeling good about yourself,
And to continue improving.

Don’t minimize what you’ve overcome.
You’ve moved mountains you once ran from.
You’ve reached peaks you once only dreamed of.

Take the time to recognize that you’ve done that. 

It matters. 

You matter.

What you’ve experienced matters.

Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Only you know your lived experience, 

Only you can validate and acknowledge yourself.

That’s what matters most. 

How you see yourself.

Not how anyone else sees you.

Stop seeing yourself through the eyes of others.

Start seeing yourself through the eyes of source.

You are worthy and deserving.

Be willing to see that. 

Be willing to let that perspective in ✨.
Listening to your fears is not the same as listeni Listening to your fears is not the same as listening to your intuition.
You may mistakenly believe you’ve been listening to yourself, because you’ve been following the directives of that voice inside of you. 
However fear also has a voice. And it’s strong and loud. Listening to it will leave you feeling shaky and scared, maybe relieved and in control temporarily, but only if you’re micromanaging every little thing in your life and keeping all external factors in check.

Your intuition on the other hand, is soft and subtle and light. It whispers to you. Your mind has to be still for it to be heard. When you listen to it you feel uplifted, loved, and free. 

You may be listening to an inner voice, but ask yourself which one is it?

If you’re constantly on edge, it’s definitely your fears. 

There is a different voice inside, it’s your intuition. 

When you hear it whisper to you, when you get a sudden impulse or idea to do something, it’s OK to listen to it. Your intuition is your safest guide. Allow it to guide you. It will never lead you wrong. Allow your intuition to show you the way. It’s safe to do so. ✨💕
Know yourself so deeply that others hurtful words Know yourself so deeply that others hurtful words cannot shake you and what you believe about yourself. 

Know yourself so well that you know exactly who you are and what you’re about. 

Know yourself so well that you know what’s in your own heart and what your intentions were.

Know yourself so well that if others project negativity upon you, you recognize it’s about what’s inside of them, not you. 

Know yourself so well that you’re OK with being misunderstood, because you understand yourself. ❤️

Start to get to know yourself better with my Free Self Love Workbook, available on my blog, see bio. ✨💕
There is nothing wrong with you. You’re not brok There is nothing wrong with you.
You’re not broken beyond repair.
You’re not even broken truthfully.
You’ve just been going in the wrong direction.
You’ve been going away from yourself 
Instead of toward yourself.
When you’ve gone too far away from your inner self,
You will feel lost, broken, confused, alone, helpless. 
This is not a sign of you’ve done it all wrong, that you’ve messed up, or that you’re messed up.
Take these feelings as an indicator of how far or how close you are to your own self, to your own heart. 
When you’re in the vicinity of your own heart, you will feel love, joy, peace, optimism. 
When you’re far from it, you will feel the emotions that don’t feel so good.
To get back to a better feeling place, 
It’s not about controlling the external circumstances in your life. 
It’s about pausing, being still, recognizing where you relatively in terms of your inner self and heart. 
Are you listening to your self? Or are you listening to others? Are you being led by your fears? (That’s not your true self) or are you following your heart ? (This is your true self )

Take a few deep breaths, put your hand over your heart, and ask it to show you the way. 
Listen closely and pay attention to what drops into your mind at this time, that’s your inner self showing you, guiding you to what’s for you. Even if it doesn’t make complete sense to you in that moment, trust it. Your inner self always knows the way to what’s best for you. And you’ll know you’re on the right track because it will feel good. It will feel so good to follow your heart. And it will feel awful not to. 
You’re not broken. 
You just have to come back home to your true self and allow it to lead and show you the way.
In order to move past what’s hurting you right n In order to move past what’s hurting you right now, you have to move through it. You have to go within it and see your part in it. Once you accept where you are, it can no longer have a hold over you. Something can only hold you when you are fighting it. When you are no longer fighting it, when you see it for what it really is, that it’s happening for you, so you can change and uplevel, so you can finally release what’s not serving you and become the next level you, you will be free of it. You will see the beauty in the experience, and once you see that, it’s only upwards and onwards. Nothing can stop you. 
Accept where you are. Own your part in it. See how it made you grow into a version of yourself you were unwilling to become but had to become anyway. You wanted this growth, you wanted this change. Take it in, and rise.

When we struggle and suffer, we may think it’s b When we struggle and suffer, we may think it’s because of our external world and circumstances, but truthfully it’s the push and pull dynamic that’s occurring inside of us. 
When we stray away from our inner self, from our intuition, it hurts. And the more self aware we are, the more we feel this. 
You’re not too sensitive, and you’re not doing anything wrong. You’re just not listening to yourself and that’s why it’s hard. You can and will feel better when you take a break from your thoughts. When you allow the current moment to take your full attention, and you allow yourself to be present and mindful. Little by little you will hear your inner voice again, because it’s always been there, it never leaves you. It’s you that leaves it. 
Little by little, you will start to feel like yourself again, and things will start to get easier and better for you. 
Your inner most self is your intuition, and when you give yourself love and quiet out the noise inside and outside of you, you will come back to it, and all of a sudden you won’t feel lost anymore, you will know the way.
