It's been a long while since I last uploaded an episode for you guys, but I hope you're all doing well.

This episode springs from a realization I have had earlier today, and it's something I want to share with you in more detail.

I never really thought of the 5 love languages as in terms of self-care. In my mind, it's always directed outwards: for family, for friends, for others.

After reading the article (link down below), I can say I have, recently, done all (receiving gifts and quality time both at the top) except give myself words of affirmation. I don't know why that is exactly but, perhaps I'm just not used to it?

A friend once said to me that I easily give compliments—primarily voicing out what I find good and nice first, while others hurry to criticize. I didn't think much of it then. But now I realized these words of affirmation and encouragement—something so simple, something I allow myself to easily give to others—are things I rarely let myself have.

With this realization, I encourage you to encourage yourself.

I have also left FIVE important words of affirmation within this episode. A little something for you to listen to in case you haven't yet given yourself some words of encouragement today.

I really hope you enjoy this episode, and I'll see you again soon!

For weeks I stayed away from any recording equipment I have at home, and just focused on getting into a good headspace.  I even hated the sound of my own voice, if I am being honest. After taking rest and doing some thinking, I came across Lily Collins' book, Unfiltered. Well, I saw Emily in Paris first before finally deciding to put her book in my reading list. I love love love her there btw. (^^,)v
