Create. Create in a variety of ways. Create every day.
Create. Create in a variety of ways. Create every day. Creativity is the speedboat that skims you across the waves of powerlessness, despair, denial, and fear. Creativity is a powerful portal into wholeness. Hiro Boga
We live in an era of endless self-help content. There are books, podcasts, retreats, and TikTok videos all preaching the same message: "Love yourself!" But here’s the hard truth—no amount of consuming self-love content will ever replace actually doing the work.
Loving yourself isn’t just about affirmations in the mirror or journaling your feelings (though those can help). Real self-love is action. It’s showing up for yourself when it’s easier not to. It’s making the tough choices today so your future self thanks you.
I have learnt that Self-Love Looks Like:
✔ Taking the first step—even if it’s small. The gym, the business idea, the better eating habits—none of it happens without action.
✔ Watching your self-talk—and changing it when it’s cruel. You wouldn’t let a friend talk to you the way you sometimes talk to yourself.
✔ Choosing connection over isolation when things get hard. (My default is to hide, but guess what? The problems are still there when I come back.)
✔ Committing to consistency—not perfection. One small, daily action in honor of your future self is worth more than a grand, unsustainable gesture and celebrating the wins.
The Hard Part? Starting.
We wait for motivation, for the "right time," for some magical shift in the universe before we act. But motivation follows action—not the other way around.
So today, ask yourself:
🔹 What’s one small action I can take today that future me will thank me for?
🔹 Where am I hiding instead of showing up for myself?
Self-love isn’t passive. It’s a daily practice of choosing yourself—even (and especially) when it’s hard.
What’s one way you’ll take action today? 💪
Peace and Blessings
