2/7/25: Write a love letter to your future self.
heather – you are worthy of love and admiration. I don’t think you realize how special you are.
2/6/25: Imagine speaking to your inner critic with love and understanding. What would you say?
The inner critic. Such a tough part of myself. I think I would say, you are doing the best you can, and maybe you don’t notice the progress because you keep rasing the bar.
2/5/25: Write about something you’ve forgiven yourself for. How did it change the way you see yourself?
I am not typically too hard on myself. So this is sorta tough. One recent thing that comes to mind was losing with that lady in dealing with some of Dad’s final matters. I know I shouldn’t have been as upset as I was about that one particular matter, but...2/4/25: What does self-love look like for you on your best and worst days?
On my best days it looks like a workout, a good breakfast, some chores, and maybe a nap. I don’t typically have bad days. If I had a bad day I would probably get my self a treat, or take a bath and go to bed early. Sleep makes things better!
2/3/25: Describe an aspect of yourself that you’re learning to accept. Why does it matter to you?

2/2/25: Reflect on a moment when you showed yourself kindness during a difficult time.
Oy, I can’t really think of a specific for this, I think throughout this grieving process, I have been pretty kind to myself, allowing myself to take time when I didn’t feel like a workout or doing chores.
2/1/25: Write about one thing you love about yourself even if it feels vulnerable to acknowledge it.
I kinda love that I am single and don’t feel the need to have a man be part of my identity.
1/28/25: Write about the value of playfulness and experimentation in your life.
I wish I valued playfulness and experimentation, but I am way too much of a rule follower to do any sort of experimentation, I’ve never smoked pot (or done other drugs) D.A.R.E. is probably to thank or blame for that. Sometimes, I feel sorta left out of that...
