Welcome to Day 26 of 30 Days of Self Love!
Today is a simple experiment. How many people can you compliment today? When we compliment others we experience a boost in happy hormones that help us feel better.
Want to take it further?
For every compliement you offer someone else today, turn around and offer yourself the same compliment. For example, if you compliment someones outfit, say aloud or to yourself, âand I love your outfit too.â Observe how it feels to include yourself in the compliment. I can feel the boost in energy and wellbeing already, how about you?
Love,
Joy

Welcome to Day 25 of 30 Days of Self Love!
I used to crave love, affirmation, and affection from others. I was just learning to love myself and didnât yet have the feedback of what it was like to love myself so completely and unconditionally that I didnât need love âfromâ another. I didnât yet know the enjoyment of feeling love so fully within that every encounter with another was a celebration of the love that was already in me.
You may be on the journey to discover that for yourself too. You may be coming into the fullness of your self love and be wondering if you have to live without the love of others. You may not have the evidence yet that shows you just have fulfilling your own experience iwth love can be. I can share that this process is worth it and when you begin to feel your own love fully it will fill you in ways that calls others into your love to love with you. You will have all the love you crave and so much more.
To get there, we keep going with learning to focus on the love that flows through us as our primary action each day.
What are some ways you can love others without attachment to their love in return? For me, pets, plants, and my children offered the first step. I would ask myself, how can I love and give to these beings without expectation today? After a few days I began to tansition to: âHow can I love myself and others without expectation today?â
This practice began a movement within me of collapsing the co-dependence and unhealthy attachments I had with others. I was no longer wishing for love or acknowledgement, I was living from love. This was a big turning point in my self love journey. Perhaps it will be a big turning point for you too.
Love,
Joy

Welcome to Day 24 of 30 Days of Self Love!
One of the motivators for my self love journey was a general sense of disatisfaction with my life. I didnât love my career, I was in an unhealthy relationship, and I was uncomfortable with the weight and shape of my body. I wanted to wave a magic wand and change my entire life. I didnât think I could be happy until my life changed in these key areas. I was overwhelmed and didnât know where to begin.
I asked myself one of the most important questions â a question I continue to ask myself and my clients to this day:
âWhat is the biggest thing that will change inside of you when your life changes?â
The answer was direct and inspired me into action â I would love my life!
Suddenly I felt a deep wisdom drop into my mind and heart. It was revealed to me that if I loved myself and my life today and every day, my life would begin to change and the love I felt would grow. The message was so strong and felt so true that I knew I needed to listen and take action.
So, every morning from that day forward I repeated these two invitations from my mind to my heart:
1. How can I love my life more today?
How can I love you more today?
Then I paused, listened for the response and took action.
Love for life will help you nurture your relationship with life. I repeated this process for several weeks and felt a slight change in how I felt, but nothing in my life changed. However, something began to shift about 4 weeks into the process. Without dieting or exercising my body began to change. I was losing weight and wanting foods that were healthier. I felt inspired to start walking for the fun of it.
I have never stopped doing this and my life continues to get better and better every day! Try it and let us know how it goes for you.
Love,
Joy

Welcome to Day 23 or 30 Days of Self Love!
Did you know that your heart, mind, and gut are connected by a communication network called âmirror neurons?â These beautiful neurons have a special purpose to communicate with each other and with the world around you to help interpret and assess which experiences are ideal for you and which are not. We have these neurons in all 3 locations because they each have different roles in our decision making. Each one is meant to work together. However, we often focus on one at the expense of the other. This creates a sense of confusion, procrastination, and an inability to feel confident about decision making.
In my experience, the heart is the unifying location in the body that brings the brain and gut together in harmony. Try this simple process:
Bring your attention to your heart by placing your hand on your heart and focusing your mind inside the heart. Repeat aloud, âI love you, I see you, and I am listening. Is there anything you want me to know?â Thank you heart for anything it reveals.
Focus your attention to and bring your hand down to your belly. Repeat aloud, âI love you, I see you, and I am listening. Is there anything you want me to know?â Thank your gut for anything it reveals.
Focus your attention to and bring your hand up to your head. Repeat aloud, âI love you, I see you, and I am listening. Is there anything you want me to know?â Thank your head for anything it reveals.
Finally, invite the head, heart, and gut to come together as one. Take a deep breath and observe the breath as it enters your nose and fills the head with oxygen, moves down to through the chest and fills the heart and belly with oxygen. Witness the breath move up from the chest back to the mouth as it releases the breath. Notice these body centers working together.
Try this every morning. Try this when you feel stuck or confused. Try this when you feel anixety. Notice how it activates the flow of clarity within you.
Let me know how this feels. I love you, I see you, and I am listening.
With love and gratitude,
Joy

Welcome to Day 22 of 30 Days of Self Love!
I used to think abundance was only interesting if it was about money and surplus that I controlled â like money in my bank account. In my years as a channel I have been shown that abundance is not something that wants to be tamed, owned, or hoarded.
Abundance is a frequency that is expressed through flow and movement and play that results in growth of the thing that it touches. When abundance flows through your life it grows parts of your life. Abundance wants growth.
Abundance is always providing, you need only make space to experience it without trying to trap it, catch it, or hold it. Play with it like you play with a butterfly. Play with it like you play with bubbles floating in the breeze. Play with abundance without stopping its flow. Let abundance guide you.
The quantum field is in a process of replication or evolution - always expanding. Yet it is always breaking things down to be repurposed into that expansion. We do not have control over what breaks down or what expands. We can only awaken to the wisdom that expansion is occurring and expand along with it. No matter how hard we focus, no matter if we make a vision board, or if we watch our thoughts we cannot force abundance to be where we want it to be. It is already everywhere, expressing itself where it is welcome.
Grass wants to grow.
Water wants to flow.
Air wants to blow.
Wisdom wants to know.
Money wants all of the aboveâŚbecause grass, water, air, wisdom, and money are all pathways of expression for abundance.
Abundance is about the pathway or container made available for the experience. Where you make space for growth, abundance will join you there. Do you have space in your life for things to grow? Do you have space in your life for self love to grow? When we make space we experience abundance. When we experience abundance we touch the very magic of life.
How can you make space for love today as you welcome the frequency of abundance to meet you there?
With Love,
Joy

Welcome to Day 20 of 30 Days of Self Love!
I love to learn. I used to think that in order to explore new ideas or to take courses I needed to have a reason why â and the reason why had to align with an outcome that felt worthy. Just for the fun of it, was not a worthy reason. Have you ever felt this way?
This is one of the benefits of self love. What you love is what the Divine loves and what the Divine loves is what the world wants. When you begin to prioritize your self love (you are 20 days in!!!) you open up to more of what you love to do.
It can feel a little selfish at first to focus on what you love. Itâs not selfish, it is just unfamiliar to be self-interested. To be self-interested doesnât mean you are only interested in your self. You can be interested in yourself AND others, but to truly deepen your connection with others your interest in yourself must be developed.
What do you love? Today is a great day to be interested in you and discover what you are interested in.
What lights you up today?
What does your heart burn to discover today?
What is your favorite color today?
What is your favorite subject to explore today?
What is your favorite food today?
What is your favorite thing to talk about today?
What do you want to do today?
What is your favorite music today?
Challenge yourself to go beyond the memory of you, through yesterdayâs answers to these questions. Get curious about who you are today, and everyday.
Go deeperâŚ
What does love feel like in your body today?
What do you love about being a reflection and expression of the Divine today?
What does it feel like when you remember that this day, this moment has a purpose?
What does it feel like to align with the breath today?
What does your soul most want you to know today?
What is it like to be in a body today?
What can you do for yourself today than no one has ever done for you?
May you discover incredible truths about who you are and what you love. There are no right or wrong answers or experiences, only discovery.
What is your favorite thing that you discovered about yourself today? Share it here and spread the love.
Love,
Joy

Welcome to Day 19 of 30 Days of Self Love!
Today is the day we active more of what every soul wants and what every soul already has access to â freedom!
While life is a co-created adventure that is largely determined by a bigger, Divine plan, each of us has one of the power of choice. Choice is the mental tool that allows us to focus on how we will experience our life events. We may not have a choice in all the events we encounter, we choose how we encounter them. Each choice opens up a world of possibilities for each of us.
The Divine is always guiding us to make new choices that align us with higher possibilities. As conscious beings we decide if we follow the guidance or go another way. Unlike a leaf that blows in the wind wherever it is guided to go, humans can choose to go against the wind and often find themselves in the eye of a storm.
Humans arenât defying the Divine intentionally. Humans are often pulled by a mental idea of right and wrong, obligation, and a sense of integrity that is rooted outside of themselves (rather than inside). This creates a conflict of, âI want to do the right thing, but I feel pulled to do something else.â The truth is, the right thing is a moment to moment experience that is rooted in what is best for the whole. You are guided, because you are being called.
Are there choices you are avoiding making? What if today was the day you chose to be guided by freedom, by love, by the Divine. What if you went where you were calledâŚ
For some the voice of right and wrong, the ego, the inner critic may be so loud that the call of the Divine seems unfamiliar. Today may be the day you make the choice to develop your awareness of the Divine voice inside of you. This may be the day you make the decision to be guided. This one decision can feel like surrendering your freedom and yet, it is the decision that is the frequency of freedom itself. Freedom isnât going your own way, freedom is the way.
Love,
Joy

Welcome to Day 18 of 30 Days of Self Love!
Giving and receiving in service to the greater good.
What is the greater good? In my experience, the greater good is about holistic impact where the consideration has been given to all life. This is what I refer to as serving the âwe.â
To give and receive to the greater good is to cultivate the mutuality of giving of yourself to the world while also receiving from that gift. For example, every breath is you take serves the greater good. When you breathe, other species breathe. Without you life does not thrive. But, where does the breath come from? The Divine (Source, God, Universe). The world doesnât thrive without the Divine either. The âweâ includes you, me, and the Divine.
As you consider this prompt today, my invitation is to consider your plans for the day. As you do, contemplate the benefit to you, to others, and to the Divine for what you intend to do. Does your plan include all 3 or are you focused on one aspect of the whole more than the other?
I used to focus on what others needed or what I perceived the Divine wanted, yet I rarely considered myself in the process. I was always last. If I did for others first, then I would hope to have time for myself later. What I discovered was that this rarely worked. I found myself depleted and resentful.
I wanted to help others and serve, but I wasnât including myself.
Imagine your plan is to make a decadent meal for your family. You buy all of the best ingredients and prepare everything beautifully. You serve everything on the most beautiful dishes and plate everything just right only to find that you donât have enough food to serve yourself. You were so focused on the amount of food you needed for others that you didnât include yourself in the measurements. So, now you serve your family and you go without.
How does it feel for your family to eat the food you made without sharing it with you?
How does it feel for the Divine to experience your neglect?
In what other ways might your life be like this imaginary dinner?
To truly serve, we must serve us all. Not only ourselves. Not only others. Not only the Divine. We.
Perhaps you can take one step toward mutuality in your experiences today and see how your self love can become a service to the world.
Love,
Joy

Welcome to Day 17 of 30 Days of Self Love!
In the early days of my journey with Self Love I was struggling with an inner voice that was constantly judging me. I would hear it narrating my day â it was always there. It seemed that no matter what I did I could never meet the expectations of this inner critic.
One day while I was cleaning the bathroom and debating with the inner critic over who knows what I looked up and caught my eyes in the mirror. I looked straight into my eyes and I asked the inner critic what it wanted. It didnât answer.
I kept looking into my eyes and noticed something â someone â staring back at me. This wasnât the inner critic, this was a loving being. This was the one observing and listening as the inner critic droned on. This was the one that loved me. This was the true me, who I call the Essence. I stared into my eyes a bit longer and said, âI love you, help me.â
I felt a rush of energy move through my body and a wave of relief and love filled every cell, every bone, every muscle. The presence of my Essence was felt by my entire body. From that day forward I asked my Essence to guide me and help me. The voice of the inner critic became quieter and less demanding.
Today, I invite you to look into your eyes and say hello. Notice what you see, notice what you feel, and love the one who is looking back. There is a you that is already inside of you, already loving you, already there to help you. You need only notice; you need only ask.
Love,
Joy
