Strong, Proud, and Single: The Path to Self-Love and Happiness.

Summer is over and sweater weather is here🍂

As the days start to get on the chiller side it’s only natural for us to feel that desire to be in a relationship. For me it started here when my daughter started kindergarten, this is the exact moment it hit me.

Will I be alone forever?

If you would have asked me two years ago why it took me so long to date or even come close to thinking about a relationship my answer would be “I don’t have time.” the single mom classic answer or “ I don’t need a man.”

Want to know the raw truth?

Not only was it “i don’t have time”, but I was battling with much deeper demons, convincing me I was…

✖️️Unworthy

✖️Unattractive

✖️Unlovable

But this is the breakthrough: When you come to the realisation that none of this is true. You are deserving, attractive, loveable and you shouldn’t let fear take over.

Most importantly, it all starts with YOU.

If you have ever felt any of the above ☝️know that You’re not ALONE and to overcome the above you can start with brining that romance that love that you crave to your own life.

How to Start Self-Romanticizing Your Life:

1. Indulge in self-care: Prioritize, prioritize self-care I can never get tried of telling you this girl! It's not indulgent; it's necessary. Take time to nurture your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

2. Practice Gratitude: Begin appreciating the little things in your daily life. Keep a gratitude journal, note down three things you're thankful for each day.

3. Create Meaningful Rituals: Establish daily or weekly rituals that make you feel cherished and special. It could be anything, a solo movie night, a spa day, or even a weekly dinner with friends. These rituals provide a consistent source of self-love.

Why Self-Romanticize? So you can be reminded of your worth, reminded that in order to have a fulfilling life you don’t need a partner. That you are complete and whole on your own and that any future partner should complement your existing happiness, not define it.

The most important love story you will ever have is the one with yourself and once you have mastered self-romanticization you will be better armed to embrace love around any season in a healthy, fulfilling way.
