      Even though I still struggle, I have come a long way when it comes to practicing self-love. For a long time I engaged in a pattern in which I would choose to stay in toxic and abusive relationships just because I was afraid of being alone. I equated being without a boyfriend with being unlovable. I now know that is NOT true. One of the ways I practice self-love is taking myself on dates – I will go to a coffee shop and surf the net, or grab a nice lunch from my favorite sandwich shop.

      How do you practice self-love?

      I’m “trying” to really be much more intentional in my acts of self love and self care. I set up a little corner in my room as a spot that was going to be like MY lil space, with art, music, journal, laptop, etc.. but I’ve allowed it to be taken over and disorganized and cluttered. So, I’m committing to cleaning it up tomorrow and reclaiming it. Part of my self care and self love is getting back to blogging and doing a podcast

      One way I’m practicing self-love is making sure I go to the gym 3 times a week with my gym partner. These “sessions” have become essential to my overall peace and part of my self-love regimen.

      How is the gym going? I kinda slacked off on my diet by having pizza for lunch + dinner

      NOT A GOOD DAY!!!

      I am struggling today. Feeling super guilty and helpless. Its suffocating. Not sure what I’m looking for or asking for, but any words of encouragement would be nice right now. Thanks Queens.
