Happy February Donna,
Alright, real talk—when was the last time you looked in the mirror and thought, “Wow, I’m basically a masterpiece”? If your answer is “Uhh… does my reflection in a clean window count?” we need to fix that.
Too many of us put self-love on layaway, thinking we’ll get there after we lose weight, tone up, or magically wake up looking like a filtered Instagram post. Spoiler alert: that’s nonsense.
Let’s Make Self-Love Less Complicated
Loving yourself isn’t a chore (or a side quest you unlock at level 50). It doesn’t require perfection, a new diet, or waiting until Monday to start fresh. You don’t need a permission slip to feel good in your own skin—you just need to decide you’re worth it (because you are). Here are three ways to start feeling better today:
-
Be Your Own Hype Woman – If you wouldn’t let your best friend call herself a hot mess express, don’t do it to yourself. Talk to yourself like you would someone you adore. Give yourself the same grace and kindness you so freely give others.
- Eat Like You Give a Damn – Your body isn’t a landfill. It’s also not a punishment. Feed it things that make you feel good, move in ways that bring you joy, and yes, that includes cake. Food isn’t just fuel—it’s connection, comfort, and culture. Enjoy it without guilt.
-
Wear the Damn Outfit – You know, the one you’re saving for ‘someday.’ Today is someday. Bust it out, strut your stuff, and own it. Life is too short for uncomfortable pants and too long to spend it hiding behind oversized sweaters (unless they’re comfy and you love them—then, by all means, rock that sweater!).
But What If Self-Love Feels…Hard?
I hear you. Loving yourself isn’t about flipping a switch and suddenly feeling like a goddess 24/7. Some days, self-love looks like rest. Some days, it’s setting boundaries. And some days, it’s just deciding not to be mean to yourself.
The key is to stop waiting for a ‘perfect’ version of yourself to show up before you start treating yourself with kindness and care.
