🌱 Return to Self - I know who I am. - I trust myself and my inner knowing. - I am true to myself. - I honour what genuinely matters to me. - I make choices that are aligned with my values. - I allow myself to live in a way that feels authentic to me. - I am connected to my purpose and direction. - I return to myself, again and again.

You do not need to be liked to be worthy. You do not need everyone to agree with you to trust yourself. You do not need to constantly monitor what everyone thinks of you. Your job is not to monitor the room. Your job is to know yourself and live from that place. Post the thing you want to post. Say what you actually think. Take up space. Make a decision without checking whether everyone approves. You can disappoint someone and still be a good person. You can be misunderstood and still know who you are. And when that little voice asks, “But what if they don’t like me?” You don’t have to solve it. “Maybe they will. Maybe they won’t. I know what I’m here to do.” That is a Strong Sense of Self. Not never feeling insecure. Not never wanting validation. But learning that you don’t have to obey the insecurity. 🌱 Come back to yourself. What do I think? What do I want? What matters to me? What is my purpose here? Then take the next step. You don’t need permission to be yourself.

Come to this post any time to celebrate any wins! Be it keeping on top of healthy habits, tidying your home, changing your attitude about something, anything! And I will cheer you on.

Today, I’m going to provide you with a journal prompt. And today’s journal prompt is: “What makes me, me?” 🌱 Take some time to think about the things that make you feel most like yourself. What activities make you lose track of time? Who are you around when you feel completely comfortable? What do you naturally gravitate towards? What qualities in yourself are you proud of? What do you care about more than other people might realise? And what are some little things that are just so you? Think about the moments in your life when you’ve felt most like yourself. And then ask yourself: What do all of these things tell me about who I am? You don’t need to come up with a perfect answer. Just get curious about yourself. Because sometimes, developing a strong sense of self isn’t about figuring out who you’re supposed to be. It’s about noticing who you already are. 💗
