 Hi there, SAM here is day 28 of 30. It's hard to believe we are almost done with the 30 days of creating a life of self love. I'm so glad you're here whether you're new or you've been around a while. I'm so glad you're here for day 28 I am the founder and community host of Safe Heart Connections.

We're an online community group of women that are learning to love ourselves more fully so we can. Make improvements in our life and we get to make connections along the way. And each day for 30 days, I'm sharing an affirmation, a self love task and a self love journal prompt. At the end of the 30 days, which we're coming up on, you will be able to order the 30 days of creating a life of self love journal on Amazon.

So you'll have a place to actually write down everything. You'll be able to use these prompts over and over again. And continue to create a life of self love. Here is our affirmation for today. I am the architect of my own happiness and the creator of my reality. Yes, you are. And yes, I am. And it's a wonderful place to be.

We get to choose if we're happy or not. One of my favorite books, it's actually my favorite book. It's called The Gap and the Gain by Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan. Very beginning of it, they talk about, especially in America, We have the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, and I'm paraphrasing what they said, but they say that basically that's where all the bad things come in, because if we're pursuing happiness, we're never gonna get there, but if we start out as happy and build on it, that's when the magic can happen, but if you're not happy right now, you'll never be happy, so stop pursuing happiness and just be happy.

So I am the architect of my own happiness and the creator of my reality and then our task for today is Practice self compassion by acknowledging and validating your emotions without judgment Wow, this is a big one. It's a really big one. Take some time, process what that means for you. Give yourself some compassion.

Maybe there's an emotion or something going on in your world or something that is happening now, or maybe it's a while back and you have a feeling about it. Actually give yourself some compassion. No judgment.

Validate your emotions

when you take the time to give yourself some compassion and let your emotions be seen and heard by yourself and you're validating those with no judgment. That's when I believe you can start to see some freedom in that area. So your journal prompt is reflect on that. How did acknowledging and validating your emotions How did that help you be more present with yourself, with your family?

Did it give you any new self awareness of something maybe you've been holding on to that you were able to let go of? And what about just accepting yourself exactly as you are without judgment? Were you able to do any of that today? If not, maybe go back and dig in just a little bit more. Each time we do these things, we have the opportunity to make a new choice in how we respond and what we do.

And so maybe practicing how you give yourself self compassion is something that you can continue to do and watch how it improves your life. So glad you're here and I look forward to seeing you on day 29.

 Hi everybody, SAM here. It is day 27 of 30 of creating a life of self love and I'm the founder and community host of Safe Heart Connections. We're an online community group for women that are working on learning to love ourselves more fully and make connections along the way. Both of those by default will help us improve our lives and so I'm so glad you're here.

If you are new to Safe Heart Connections, welcome. We are glad you found us. If you've been around a while, I am so glad that you're here and I look forward to hearing all your feedback after we complete these 30 days together. So here we go. Let's look at day 27.

Our affirmation for today is, I release comparison and competition knowing that I am incomparable and unique. And I've talked about this before, We live in a world right now where comparison is at an all time high, I believe. And so getting to the place where we don't compare ourselves, because we know we are truly unique and incomparable, that is a beautiful place.

Comparison, I believe, steals anything good learning to not compare ourselves is definitely Something important to do in creating a life of self love. So our task today is to attend a workshop or a webinar focused on self care and personal development. If you're in the SafeHeart Connections community already and you haven't done the self love mini series yet, that would be a great place to start.

If you're ranking up on the leaderboards, there's other online courses that are in the community that are totally free, that could help with some of those where you have access to that. If you're not already in the community, maybe this is the time to go ahead and get to set up your free account. If you're not ready to do that, maybe go on YouTube and look up some videos on self care and personal development.

It doesn't have to be a formal workshop or webinar, but get some information. And that can improve your life and help you create a life of self love for your journal prompt today. Just journal about what you learned on your workshop or your video or whatever it was. How can you implement those things into your life?

Did you find at least one good takeaway that would help you improve your life? If not, possibly consider digging in a little more and find another, something else to listen to or watch where you get at least one good thing to take away to improve your life. So glad you're here and I'm looking forward to seeing you on day 27.

 Hi there, Sam here. Hope you're having a great day wherever you're at in the world today. I am the founder and community host of SafeHeart Connections. We are an online community group of women who are working on learning to love ourselves more fully. And by default, our life improves and we get to make connections along the way.

If you are new to SafeHeart Connections, maybe you just found us. We are so glad you're here if you are looking to create a life of self love you are in the right place. And ladies, those of you that are returning, we are so glad you're back. We are so glad you're part of the community.

If you are, if you're not, and you're just watching us on social media, maybe now it's time to go ahead and click on through and join the free online community group and get access to the self love miniseries. After the 30 days, I am going to have this journal sold on Amazon where you'll be able to order it and pick up a copy so that you will be able to actually go back through and write down your answers and go through these daily tasks and prompts and the affirmations again and again, because this is definitely not a one time thing.

It's something that you'll do more than once. Here's day 26. I am worthy of taking up space and expressing myself fully and authentically. Wow. I know for a lot of us, we tend to make ourselves smaller. So where people don't see us or we're not in a way because we don't want to be in trouble.

And as we learn to create a life of self love, you will start to notice, at least I have, that I am definitely worthy of taking up space. My voice matters and being heard and seen. Are not things to be afraid of and being able to express myself fully and authentically Those are wonderful things. So i'm glad that we have this affirmation here today And then our self love daily task gratitude focus on The blessings and abundance in your life.

Gratitude. If you've been around here for a little while, you'll know that I believe that gratitude is the powerhouse of creating a life of self love. I believe that because whenever you focus on all the good, I believe you're going to see more and more good around you. So taking the time to actually do some gratitude journaling, I believe is a wonderful self love task for today.

And then our journal prompt is definitely tied back to that. How did that feel? Did it help you find more things to be thankful for or grateful for? Was it hard to think of things? If it was hard, maybe dig a little deeper and don't think that those things have to be so big. It could be something really small.

I don't want to try and put things into your mind for examples, because I believe if you think about it , you'll come up with more than enough. Know that it doesn't have to be big things. It can be small things too. And if this was a challenge for you, I would say continue doing this for a while and see if it gets easier and if you're able to then start seeing more and more things to be grateful for, because I know that's what happens in my life.

So I'm so glad you're here and I look forward to seeing you on day 27.

 Hi, everybody. SAM here. Hope you're having a great day, wherever you're at in the world today. And today is day 25 of 30. We are in on the tail end stretch of these 30 days to create a life of self love. And I'm so glad you're here. Safe Heart Connections is an online community group for women that are working on learning to love themselves more fully.

And by default, that helps their lives improve and we get to make connections along the way in our online community group, all the members in the group do get access to a free self love mini series, which helps us all have a base of information to where we're using the same words. We're talking about self love in the same way, and it really helps us.

Be able to begin to create that life of self love. So if you're new here, we are so glad you're here. We're glad you found us. If you've been around a while, we are so glad you came back. So let's look at day 25 together. Our self love daily affirmation for today is I trust in the process of life and know that everything happens for my highest good.

This one's a little challenging and some of the things I'm sharing you may not agree completely with so feel free to tweak them or just how how they would be more relevant for you because I know that sometimes things happen in life and that's wow I don't think that feels like it was for my highest good and yet when I look back over my life I can see in most of those situations there was something bigger at play and so even if I don't feel it in the moment I do my best to trust the process of life and know that everything happens for my highest good.

Here's our self love daily task today. Surround yourself with positive affirmations and uplifting quotes in your living space. I don't know if you've been taking the time to write any of these affirmations down, but if you did, put them on sticky notes or put them on little note cards. And put them in your bathroom so that you see them, or in your car, on your visor, when you get in your car you'll see them, or on your refrigerator, just places in your living space so that you'll see them more often.

It'll help you remember what to focus on and how these affirmations truly can improve your life. And then Our journal prompt for today is just what was the impact of having them around if you put some in your bathroom and you're in there washing your hands and you see your affirmation, did that change how you felt?

Did you feel any shift in your mindset? What about your self talk? Whenever you have these affirmations more easily accessible to you, I know in my life that's made it easier for me to focus on them, and by default that ends up helping me. I'm so glad you're here. If you want to share your feedback, comments, thoughts, I'd love to hear those, and I would love to see you for day 26.

 Hi there, SAM here. And today is day 24 of 30 of creating a life of self love. And I am the founder and community host of Safe Heart Connections. We're an online community group for women that are working on learning to love ourselves more fully so that we can improve our lives. And we get to make connections along the way in our online community group.

If you are new here, we are so glad you found us. And if you have been around for a while, we are so glad you came back each day for 30. I'm going to be sharing an affirmation, a task and a journal prompts. So let's go ahead and look at day 24. Our affirmation for today is I'm resilient and capable of overcoming any challenge that comes my way.

Yes. You are, and so am I. I am resilient and capable of overcoming any challenge that comes my way. Your self love task is going to be taking yourself on a date. It can be a new place, or just a favorite hobby. We've done some of these already throughout the month, and so this will be an opportunity to try something different.

If you did something similar earlier in the month, maybe you want to do that thing again. So by being able to continue to do these tasks, these things that you actually enjoy, taking yourself on a date or being able to just do something you love just because you love it, that will really help you with creating the life of self love.

In our journal prompt, how did prioritizing yourself Actually help with your sense of worthiness and fulfillment. Did you feel awkward treating yourself? I know I do even now still sometimes I do if you're still in one of those in those Situations where you're not really sure that felt right to you or good That's just part of the process to help you get to the other side.

So keep doing it just small little things Do something that you truly enjoy just because you love it. And so as you do those things, as you continue with the affirmations, as you continue with the self love tasks and you continue to journal and write about these things, I know I've benefited from doing these things and I'm sure you will as well.

So I'm looking forward to seeing you on day 25.

 Hi there SAM here with Safe Heart Connections I'm the founder and community host we're on a journey of 30 days to create a life of self love each day. I am sharing an affirmation, a task, and a journal prompt that will help us be well on our way at the end of those 30 days to creating a life of self love.

And so if you are new to safe heart connections, we're glad you're here. If you've been around for a while, we're glad you're back and let's go ahead and dig in and look at our affirmation for today. I embrace my authenticity and allow myself to shine brightly in the world. I think for many of us, we haven't felt safe enough to be authentic that we hide who we really are.

And so when you start to create a life of self love, one of the things you'll notice is that it will be a little bit easier for you just to be authentic. To be who you are, you'll be able to show up in the world in a really cool way. So our affirmation for today is a really great one. I embrace my authenticity and allow myself.

And then our task for today would be to disconnect from technology for a designated period of time and engage in offline activities. So you get to choose the amount of time you want to do this for. I have found because I work with needing to be online for whether it's email or social media or any of those types of online things, it's really hard for me to do those disconnecting things.

But pick a time. We can all disconnect for a little while, even if it's just an hour. If you're able to take a weekend off, maybe consider taking the whole weekend off of social media and to see how that feels for you.

I know in my life, I am more dependent on social media than I'd like to acknowledge. And so taking these times to actually disconnect helped me. Be more mindful and be more present and doing things that are not tied to a computer or my phone. And so the journal prompt is tied to that.

Did this help you? Were you able, how long were you able to disconnect for and on here it says digital detox and it would take a little bit of time to actually make it a real detox. But if you did, how did that go for you? Did you notice anything new or different about being present with just yourself or your loved ones?

What were the benefits for you of being able to disconnect a little bit? And as always, I would love to hear your feedback. Feel free to comment or share and we will look forward to seeing you on day 24.

Hi there, Sam here with day 22 of 30 of our 30 days to creating a life of self love. So glad you're here. If you have been following us for a while, we are glad you're back. If you are new to Safe Heart Connections, we're glad you found us. Each day for 30 days, I'm going to be sharing an affirmation, a self love task.

And then a self love journaling prompt. So I'm so glad you're here. And today for our self love affirmation, it is, I am worthy of receiving love, abundance, and all the blessings the universe has to offer. Do you believe that you're worthy of receiving love, abundance, and all the things If not, maybe say this one over and over again to start to begin to create that life of self love.

And then our self love task for today is to engage in a mindful exercise such as mindful eating or a body scan meditation. And if you've not done anything like this before, a body scan would be just sitting in a comfortable position, starting at the top of your head. I'm not even on camera and I just touched the top of my head and I'm smiling really big.

That's funny that start to just evaluate where how you're feeling on each part of your body. So start at the top of your head and then work your way down a little bit. Maybe get to the temples on the side of your forehead here. Go down to your ears. Shoulders and just scan your body and see what comes to mind for you and mindful eating.

That's something that many of us, at least I know I've been working on trying to be more mindful with my eating and not just eating because I'm bored. Our self love daily journal prompt is to describe the mindfulness exercise. How did that feel for you? Did it help you with any other awareness in your life right now?

Did it help you feel more present in the moment? Did you notice something about your body or reasons you're eating? Or if you did some other type of mindfulness exercise, how did that go for you? And so I'd love to hear how these 30 days are going for you. If you want to reach out and respond on any of these messages, please do.

SAM here for day 21 of 30 creating a life of self love. I'm so glad you're here, whether you're brand new, whether you've been around a while, I'm so glad that you're connected to safe heart connections. We are an online community group of women that are working on learning to love ourselves more fully, because when we do that, our life improves just because we love ourselves and we get to make connections along the way in the community.

And so every day for 30 days, I'm going through an affirmation. A self love daily task and a journal prompt, and I am inviting you on this journey, and so I'm so glad you found us. Today's affirmation is I honor my boundaries and prioritize my well being in all areas of my life, if you've been around me for a little while, I call boundaries the B word.

Because nobody wants to deal with it. But when you do, it is so worth it. When you know what your boundaries are, what you're willing to accept, what you're not willing to accept, and you hold true to those, you will naturally be prioritizing your own well being. So this is a wonderful affirmation.

And your task for today is practice forgiveness towards yourself and others, releasing any resentment or negativity. Forgiveness is so powerful. We think that when we are holding on to a hurt that someone's done to us, That we're hurting them, but we're not. We're only hurting ourselves. And so forgiveness is very powerful.

I see images of somebody holding on to something and the rope, their hand is bleeding because they're holding on to it so tight. In that image is like, you're not forgiving someone else. What happens when you're doing that towards yourself. So you haven't forgiven yourself.

You're holding onto something in the past so hard that it's cutting you and it's still making you bleed. Then you have the power to let go of that. I would challenge you if you need to forgive yourself or someone else, maybe it's today. Maybe today's the day. And then the journal prompt for today is when you did that, did you do it?

Did you not? Did you say, Oh no, I'm not going to forgive them. It's still this or this. That's your choice, but this is one of those things that if you do it, your life will improve. Because they no longer have the power over you, or that situation, that thing that you had to forgive yourself for no longer has power over you.

So I would really challenge you to see if there's anybody that you need to forgive or something you need to forgive yourself for. And I would do this on a regular basis. Every day, depending on what's going on in your life. But there's something happening and I need to choose to forgive them and let it go.

I need to choose to forgive them and let it go.

I'm so glad you're here and you're learning to create a life of self love and who knows if it's going to be a forgiveness thing or a boundary thing or self worth thing or any of the other things that we've talked about on the other days or the days that are coming up that will actually trigger and sink it into your mind that you 100 percent are worthy of love and acceptance exactly as you are, not because of anything you do, but just because of who you are.

Period.

So glad you're here and I'll see you on day 22.
