Self-Love And Self Care Is the Luxury

Self-Care & Self-Love: The Glow-Up That Starts From Within

I am the “self-care, self love” connesiour! While everyone I know is begging me to go out and party with them I much rather be all about bubble baths, sheet masks, and being wrapped up in my faja under my velvet duvet. But true self-care goes way deeper than a skincare routine. It’s not just about looking good; it’s about feeling so good on the inside that it radiates on the outside.

Step 1: Treat Yourself Like You’re a Priority (Because You Are)

Let’s get one thing straight, your worth isn’t negotiable. Stop penciling yourself into your own life like an afterthought. Block out time for yourself the way you’d block out time for a VIP meeting. Because you are the VIP. Whether it’s a workout, journaling, or just sitting in silence with your coffee, it’s not optional; it’s sacred. I treat myself like the highest priority and I only allow people into my life that treat me the same. Everyone else that doesn't meet my criteria gets blocked.

Step 2: Romanticize Your Daily Life

You don’t need a first-class flight or an expensive dinner to feel luxurious, although that does help! Luxury is a mindset. Light the candle, pour your favorite drink into a fancy glass, take the everything shower and feel your smooth, feshly shaven legs on silk sheets. Share the finest things with yourself and not to impress anyone else. I know that I deserve nice things. I know this is the life I want, not for anyone else's approval or validation but for my own happiness. My own life experience. Self-love is reminding yourself every day that you deserve beauty, pleasure, and joy in your now, not “someday.”

Step 3: Protect Your Energy Like It’s Designer

We’ve all had people drain us dry and leave us feeling like an emotional trash dump. No more. Set boundaries without apologizing. Say “no” without a three-paragraph explanation. Let “that’s not for me” be your whole sentence. Block the number or social media account, write the blog, do what's best for you! Because this is your life and you matter. Dont choose anyone else over yourself; then who will choose you? Remember, self-love is knowing what drains you and refusing to let it touch you. Self love is knowing yourself and loving yourself enough to give yourself what you need, want, and deserve. No one else will.

Step 4: Stop Waiting for Permission

Too many people are living their lives waiting for someone to crown them worthy. Guess what? You can buy your own crown. If you want to start the business, post the content, wear the outfit, or leave the situation, do it! Waiting for approval is the fastest way to waste your glow and your beautiful life that you've been blessed with.

Step 5: Celebrate Yourself Out Loud

Self-love isn’t humble, it’s honest. Don’t shrink to make other people comfortable. Post that win. Say “I’m proud of myself” out loud. Throw your own flowers before anyone else thinks to send them. If that sounds cocky to some people, that’s their problem, not yours. Our first relationship is with ourselves so cultivate that relationship undeniably.

The truth? Self-care and self-love aren’t trends, they’re survival tools. It's mandatory to love yourself, choose yourself, and care for all your needs. Who else will? These survival tools are the reason I walk into every room with my head high and OWN that entire room. I captivate everywhere I go. I keep my boundaries solid and my soul keeps glowing. But I'm not going to lie, this type of confidence will repel and intimidate the weak. But I want to repel low vibrational energy. I want the best for myself. I want confident, uplifting people around me that can handle my glow. And when you live like that, you attract better. Better opportunities, better people, better everything.

Love yourself enough to choose yourself.
