Happy 'Love' month! I like to focus on self-love this month. I don't think anyone needs advice on how to love their friends and family more.. I think we could take a tiny fraction of the energy we spend loving others and focus it on ourselves. THAT IS NOT SELFISH. We have been programmed to believe that doing anything other than acts of service for other people is self-ish, especially as women. So, I declare February self-love month and inside my Alive AF! membership, we take it to the next level and call is Radical Self-love. Radical Self-love isn't what you might think. It's not saying no to everyone around you and booking a flight to the tropics for a month and laying on a beach and getting massages, although if you need to do that to get some space to reset, then by all means do it and you could even do it with me if you want to check it out [ https://www.angelamascenik.com/2024retreatsandcoaching ]Radical Self-love is a love you have for yourself that helps you create boundaries around things that aren't good for you, like alcohol or over-working. And having these boundaries is going to bring up your programming and can cause you to feel guilty, second guess your decisions, and more. And engaging in Radical Self-love is knowing that this will happen and choosing to follow through on what is better for you and working on the internal stuff that comes up. It doesn't really feel good when you are doing it, but over time, it will. Also, I dig into Addiction and how to recognize if you are engaging in your addictive mind versus the real you, do not miss!
