Why does self-love feel so fake? 🤔

If affirmations make you cringe and self-care feels performative, you're not alone—and you're not doing it wrong.

I just published a deep dive into why self-love feels like a performance and how to make it real.

Spoiler: It starts with giving yourself permission to NOT feel positive all the time.

Why do I feel dysphoric now, and why does my mind bring me flashbacks of the past, asking if I did better earlier?

You make loved ones feel cherished—then call yourself worthless. Replace judgment with kindness. You're worthy. #SelfWorth #Healing #SelfCompassion #MentalHealth

I previously used love from others as a bandage for the love I was not providing to myself. Their love made me feel good…until it didn’t.

Then I was scrambling not having any love. Now that I know I can provide myself with my own support, compassion, and love, I’m no longer desperate to be loved by someone else.

Hip openers made me anxious despite years of practice.

Van der Kolk showed me muscles hold memory, bodies store trauma.

What has your body been trying to tell you through resistance or discomfort?

I am still amazed at my transformation.

Acceptance is so powerful.

I went to the tea shop on Lonsdale + mentioned my recent experience of embracing acceptance to the owner when he asked how I was. He said I looked radiant. 🤩

Then I bumped into my former GP + told her about embracing acceptance + feeling alive for the first time in a decade. She was happy I looked well.

I AM ALIVE!

Learning to accept myself as well as my circumstances has been transformative.

I have lost so much. Fuck cancer!

But I am still here.

No longer hating myself. Finally! It’s refreshing to now befriend myself + show myself care + compassion.

You matter!

You are enough!

Be your unique self!
