Defining Self-Love
As we embrace the final month of 2025, I invite you to reflect on the relationship you have with yourself. What do you feel proud of? Are there areas that need improvement?
In my younger years, I didn’t have a clue about what self love meant or looked like in action. It seemed like a selfish or conceded concept to me. After many years of not treating myself very kindly, I began to shift and adopt more loving self-care practices. I let go of things that felt good to me in the moment, but ultimately degraded my health. These decisions and changes weren’t easy, but my long term health is now a foundational, strong platform for my longevity.
This acronym about self love can be a positive place to begin or simply check in about where you are …
S – Support Your Body
Nourish yourself with food, movement, and rest that genuinely helps you feel better.
E – Engage in Mindfulness
Pause, breathe, and notice what your body and mind are asking for.
L – Listen to Your Needs
Honor your hunger, fullness, energy, and emotional cues with compassion—not judgment. (DM me to get a graphic depicting a hunger scale you can use to develop the skill of being more connected to your hunger.)
F – Fuel with Intention
Choose habits that give you steady energy, better sleep, and improved mood.
L – Let Go of Perfection
Progress, not perfection, is what leads to sustainable change.
O – Own Your Choices
Make decisions that prioritize your long-term health over quick fixes or extreme ‘solutions
V- Value Your Well-Being
Recognize that your health is worth time, attention, and care every day.
E – Empower Yourself
Build habits that help you feel strong, capable, and confident in your body. (This downloadable infographic can help with guidance for health daily minimums and maximums.)
