Self Love Challenge!

I really don’t like talking about myself, never have. But, here it goes…

I’m very loyal/protective when it comes to friendships, family and love. (Sometimes where people don’t appreciate it- I guess that’s the Leo in me.) I’m trying to be positive most of the time and stay away from drama .
I am worthy of my time! If someone doesn’t appreciate it or takes it for granted, I Simply move on.
I’m investing my :heart: and time into this craft which has been wonderful since I started again. Try to be helpful and lend a helping hand when I can. Just be conscious and aware on being a better person. Learned recently to put myself first at times and not feel guilty for doing so. Just not be so hard on myself and enjoy being me. I am a GOOD witch and accept its gifts.
The universe is beautiful, love being a part of it and want to make a difference. I’m a work in progress, but we all are…

@jill thank you so much. I’m a work in progress. This feeling good thing is very new to me for years I have a struggled and I have learned that it’s a fight every day. Actually one of the first things I did today was get out my journal and just free write about what is going on, then I put some Florida Water mix in my diffuser and just talked to people for a couple of hours this morning. A friend that I haven’t talked to in years and some others on FaceBook. My whole mood changed and I have been having a pretty good day. My anxiety crept in for a little while, but I let it go and then I took a nice nap. Of course my allergies are just awful today, so I’m sure that contributed to the nap, but I feel good and I realized, I can’t stay there. Everyone has bad days, get it out and move on if you can or if it’s the right moment for you. Do something different to make you feel like a Goddess, every day is a fight when it comes to these struggles and it’s all in how you get back up each time the punch is thrown.

Thank you @Abs53 and @Susurrus! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

You are full of strength, positivity, and determination! :raised_hands: Taking the first step is most definitely the hardest part to travel solo… but once you go, it feels like whole world is just waiting for you to explore it! :heart_eyes: I hope you get the chance for a solo adventure someday, @Abs53! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Strong women really don’t need a man, partner, family, or friends in order to follow their dreams- just like magick, on solo adventures you also find that everything you truly need is already inside you :hugs:.

Beautiful intention darling.
Loyalty is hard to find these days so be proud of that, sounds like you have a loving nurturing caring nature and a sensitive but proud side. These are all traits to be celebrated. Good to see you standing in your power and being authentically you and unapologetic about it. Love that :slight_smile: You should always be true to yourself and its not selfish at all to put yourself first. You cant fill others from an empty cup. Yes if people cant see the gift that you are and your value then thats their loss, a lesson im learning too. Good on you buddy.

I got back up today and used this page to get me going. I checked in on my self love challenge and on the daily affirmations. I have just scratched my affirmation for today from my numerology app.

Today I am able to be awake and I can organize with the best of them. I am creative and kind and have a positive outlook on the day today.

My body has no problem putting me in its place which is why I always have my phone on me and I don’t stray too far from home by myself. Today though, I am home. My body has let me know that I need to really take a day or more off from doing the things around the house and elsewhere. So, I will heed it’s warning and everything else will still be there when I am able. I hope you have a good day @Rene! It’s nice to meet you also.

@Abs53 I needed this today!! I’ve been struggling a bit, between my health, financial insecurity & just overall stress. It’s nice to slow down and read all the great things you guys have said about yourself. And of course to take a moment and recognize qualities I love about myself:

I love my green eyes & I have great hair. My heart is huge, I’m funny and I’m resourceful. I’m also good with art & creativity. There are plenty more things to choose from, but these are my favorites!

I totally identify with that feeling! I think one way to put myself first is to surround myself with people that are worth the time and that I can help become assets for the good of everyone involved!

It’s hard to keep the drama down but it’s so worth it :relieved:

@Francisco @walter definitely guys. Positivity breeds positivity as my darling husband is fond of saying :two_hearts:

It sure does!! No more room in my life for negativity or negative people.( If a friend or family member is having problems with negativity around them, I want to make it better with my learnings. There is a difference between negative people and negativity. (Sometimes, you meet or have negative people in your life you just wish you well in front of you and stab you in the back as soon as you turn. Those are the ones I cleansed out of my life! Basically, I cleaned HOUSE! LOL) I recently, couple of months ago did a cleansing of negative people around me. If you don’t want to be a part of my life and so be it! I will always wish you well- no harm to none! But, I want to surround myself with positive people and energy as Francisco stated. Not saying that life will always be a ray of sunshine but it’s how you manage the negatives in your life that makes a difference in the happiness you can create around you. And following this Wiccan learning is helping create that atmosphere for me. I just feel that I’m on the right path- being guided, a calling…I’m at peace with myself, haven’t felt that in a long time.
It’s great to be here and part of this community! So glad I stumbled over to it. But I think it was more of a spiritual-guidance that lead me over here. The universe shows you the way over time. I’m really believing this in my :heart:

Blessed be.
