Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, beautiful souls, Riley Hard, here your daily dose of
self love sunshine, and trust me, you need that sunshine today,
because let's be real. Life can throw some serious shades sometimes,
but guess what. We get to choose how we see
ourselves amidst all the chaos. It's like imagine life as
a giant disco ball, reflecting light in every direction. Sometimes
(00:22):
the light's beautiful, shimmering and bright. Other times, well, it
can be a bit harsh, casting shadows and making us
question everything. But here's the magic. We get to choose
which reflections we focus on. We get to decide what
lens we use to view ourselves and today, my loves,
we're choosing love because self love isn't just about bubble
(00:43):
baths and face masks, although those are awesome. It's about
seeing yourself with kindness, compassion, and acceptance even when the
disco ball is throwing some seriously funky shadows. Let me
ask you something, ever caught yourself in that spiral of negativity?
You know that feeling when you're inner critics starts whispering doubts,
making you question your worth. We've all been there, trust me.
(01:05):
But here's the game changer. We can choose to rewrite
that narrative. We can flip the script and replace those
negative whispers with affirmations of self love. Think about it
like this. Our minds are powerful tools. They have the
ability to shape our reality, So why not use that
power to cultivate a positive inner landscape, to start seeing
(01:26):
ourselves through a lens of love. Now, I know what
you might be thinking, Riley, easier said than done, and
you're absolutely right. Changing in grained thought patterns takes time
and effort, But trust me, my loves, it's the most
worthwhile investment you can make in yourself because when we
start loving ourselves, everything else shifts. Our relationships become more fulfilling,
(01:48):
our goals feel more attainable, and even those shadow casting
disco balls seem a little less intimidating. Here are five
key takeaways to help you on this journey of self love.
One practice gratitude. Take a moment each day to appreciate
the good things in your life, big and small. Maybe
it's the warmth of the sun on your skin, a
delicious cup of coffee, or the laughter of loved ones.
(02:10):
Cultivating gratitude shifts our focus from what we lack to
what we already have, filling our hearts with love and contentment.
Two challenge your inner critic, that voice in your head
telling you you're not enough. Yeah, that one needs a
serious time out. When those negative thoughts creep in, challenge them.
Ask yourself, is this truly true? Would I say this
(02:31):
to a friend? Remember you are worthy of love and
kindness just as you are. Three. Embrace your imperfections. You're
not supposed to be perfect. In fact, your imperfections make
you unique and beautiful. Let go of the need to
be flawless and embrace the messy, imperfect beauty that is you.
Four set healthy boundaries. You have the right to protect
(02:52):
your energy and well being. Learn to say no to
things that drain you or don't serve your highest. Good.
Boundaries are not selfish, they're essential for self love and growth. Five.
Celebrate your wins, no matter how big or small. Acknowledge
your accomplishments. Celebrate your successes, and give yourself credit for
all the amazing things you do. You deserve to be
(03:13):
proud of yourself. Now let me paint a picture for you.
Imagine your walking down the street, head held high, radiating
confidence and self love. People notice your aura, your warmth,
your genuine smile. It's like you've unlocked this secret superpower,
the power of loving yourself fiercely and unconditionally. That my
loves is what we're aiming for. It's about choosing to
(03:35):
see ourselves through a lens of love even when things
get tough. Remember you are worthy, you are capable, and
you are loved. So today, let's commit to practicing self
love in all its beautiful complexities. Let's choose to focus
on our strengths, celebrate our wins, and treat ourselves with
the same kindness and compassion we would offer. A cherished
