Valentine’s Day is on the horizon, we want to remind you that it’s not about having a special someone to celebrate love, it’s about understanding how we express love to ourselves. What is your love language? How do you practice self-love? Discover what soothes your heart by proclaiming words of affirmation. We introduce this idea in our 7 Mini Rituals and now want to expand on affirmation practices. Bring your whole heart and let’s get started.

Proclaim Affirmations

  • Find a comfortable position

  • Write, speak, or video this exercise

  • Make a heartfelt statement about yourself. For example, “I love myself for who I am.”

  • List qualities about yourself in detail

  • Record these qualities and add your name. For example, “Richard is a generous and empowering coach”

  • Sense your reflection and express these qualities outwardly

  • Affirm yourself 

  • Rest your affirmation in your belly and in your heart

  • Teach this practice to a friend

Customize the traditional Valentine's craft, by teaching a friend how to proclaim words of affirmation. Instantly release fear, doubt, and insecurities. Regularly practice and overcome negative thought patterns. Fall in love with the qualities you discovered here and admire your work as a daily habit.
