Today is all about appreciating yourself, for being exactly who you are.

Remember that letter we talked about on Day 1?  I want you to write it.  I want you to write the letter your body is calling out to receive.  The one that allows every cell of your being to breathe a sigh of relief.  The words your soul needs to hear.  The acknowledgement of all you’ve had to be and do to get to where you are today.

To do that straight off the bat is a big ask, so here are a few guided writing exercises to serve as inspiration.

If each of your closest loved ones was to record a short video about why they love you and why they choose to have you in their lives, what would they say?

To help, list out your close family and friends and write beside their name the thing they appreciate about you the most.

Set a timer for 5 minutes.  Now list 20 things you know to be true about yourself, that, if you’re able to bypass your modesty, you’re proud to own.  The things that make you, you.

Think about the times when you’re operating from your sovereignty; when you’re unapologetically you; when you’re able to spill into all your nooks and crannies and enjoy your very existence.

If it’s not too triggering, I’d like you to talk about some tough times that you’ve experienced with your chronic illness, that you are now through and out the other side of.  What about you enabled you to work through those challenges?

*Please follow the lead of your inner wisdom on this one, if you think it’s going to be too much, you can skip this bit.

Using the above to guide you, it’s time to write your letter.

Dear

I’m so proud of you…

Save this letter, whether you’ve written it in a notebook or in the notes section on your phone…you’re going to need it at the end of the week.
