According to Miley Cyrus, "I can buy myself flowers." And honestly, she’s onto something.
Too often, we don’t think about giving ourselves grand gestures. We wait for someone else to make us feel special, as if our worthiness depends on an external force recognizing it first. But imagine this: what if you were the one who showed up for yourself in a big, bold way?
Think about the most epic rom-com moments—the grand declarations of love 🤎 that take our breath away. The guy, after realizing he can’t live without the girl of his dreams, dashes through the airport, pushing past security (somehow never getting arrested), just to stop her from boarding the plane. He makes a dramatic speech in front of an audience of strangers, pouring out his heart, proving that love conquers all. Sure, it’s over-the-top and Hollywood-perfect, but the sentiment is what matters: choosing someone, despite inconvenience or discomfort, is meaningful.
So, how can you offer yourself this same kind of devotion? How can you communicate to yourself just how cherished and worthy you are?
Listen, I get it. Time is tight. You’re busy. I’m busy. We have kids to raise and things to get done. But just for a moment, imagine how deeply loved you would feel if you decided to truly take care of yourself in a way that felt luxurious, bold, and affirming. 🫰🏾
Yes, the small daily self-care rituals sustain us—morning journaling, a cup of tea, deep breaths between meetings. But sometimes, the audacious acts of self-love are what leave the biggest imprint. Taking yourself out to an elegant dinner, no excuses. Signing up for that pottery course you’ve been eyeing, simply because it sparks joy. Planning a weekend getaway to wine country with your best girlfriends because you deserve adventure and pleasure, too.👏🏾👏🏾
These aren’t just indulgences; they’re exclamation points on the love letter you write to yourself. They are declarations, loud and clear, that say: I am worthy of joy. I am deserving of beauty. I matter.
This Valentine’s Day, don’t wait for someone else to sweep you off your feet. Do it yourself. Buy the flowers, make the reservation, book the trip, take the leap. Because the greatest love story of your life should always start with you.
