“I am enough. I approve of and love myself deeply”
Now those aren’t words you may tell yourself everyday… But you absolutely should! According to Good Therapy, “Research indicates that nearly 80% of our self talk is negative.” Repeating self affirmations and writing yourself a Self-Care Love Letter has the power to uplift your mood, reduce anxiety, and even increase your likelihood of success.
Science aside, you love hard and put others before your own needs. It’s time to give yourself the TLC you deserve. When was the last time you did something nice for yourself? Love Letter writing allows you to take a moment to pause, reflect, and appreciate how far you’ve come and even set goals for your future. We invite you to write yourself a Love Letter thanking yourself for all you have accomplished in the past 2 years and open it 2 months later.
Take care of yourself so you can take care of the ones you love! Knowing that you took the time to write yourself a handwritten note will warm their heart and put a big smile on your face. Expressing gratitude in a handwritten note stirs up positive emotions and well-being for both the letter-writer and the receiver (aka YOU).
If you’re reading this far, then you’ve probably caught on to how important writing yourself a Love Letter is and we couldn’t be more proud of you. Congratulations on taking this special moment to invest in you!
Self-care is like planting a flower. We need to be mindful of the little details and be patient. It might be hard to notice our growth between today and tomorrow. But in the long run, we will witness the miracle that happens in our body, mind, and soul. We invite you to write yourself a Self-Care Love Letter to reflect on your individual wellness journey with this mindful activity:
