February Self-Love Challenge

You may have noticed all the pink and red flowers, candy, stuffed bears, and the like everywhere. Its February, the month where we talk about love and romance, go on dates (hopefully), and show some love! I want to challenge you to love yourself like that. #fallinlovewithyourself

All through this month, I will be sending out love and positivity to people and reminders to love yourself! Lets give ourselves the love, compassion, and kindness that we deserve. Lets stop saying things will be better when...and say things are pretty good right now. That doesn't mean you have to stop working on goalz, but it does mean stopping being so had on yourself. Stopping the shame, guilt and blame that we put on ourselves. The constant thought of how we aren't good enough or we will deserve love when we get to whatever the next outcome. I want to challenge you to love yourself exactly how you are right now. Today. Love yourself with those uncomfortable feelings, that anger, or extra pounds, with those mistakes and flaws. It's all part of what makes you unique. It's what you bring to this life. The good and the not as good. Its all you, so lets embrace it.

I've designed a series of mantras for the month. Starting on Monday Feburary 5, I will post 1 journal prompt/mantra per day. If you chose to journal, it is a super short self reflection, that will take literally 10 minutes. You can look at it and write about it any time throughout the day. You can even just think about it. If you want to maximize the impact, you can write in the morning about how you can utilize this thought through the day and then in the evening, write a reflection on how it went. Whatever level you want to do is up to you. Pick your bus stop as we like to say in yoga classes.

Throughout the month, I will be posting articles, meditations, and encouragement for you to take in.I will hop on Facebook Live to lead some meditation and ramble about my thoughts if you want to see that. For those in the Athens Georgia area, I will be available for individual sessions, and of course you are all invited to attend my yoga class on Wednesday Mornings at 11:30. There is group meditation and yoga class scheduled for Tuesday Evening Feb 27, to help solidify the month of self love or just to celebrate February being over. I hope you will join me.

Follow along and #fallinlovewithyourself
