Deep Dive Into Self-Luv
A Deep Dive into Self-Luv: Welcome to My Birthday Month!
This birthday, one message stood out, wishing me the very best year ahead with a gentle reminder: “Be good to yourself, as you are so good to others!”
The classic wisdom - begin by being good to myself -Just like putting on my oxygen mask first.
This was the perfect prompt to share my exploration of luv and connection to Self. What better time than my birthday month to dive into these waters? An opportunity to ask, "What does it truly mean to luv myself and how can I deepen that connection?"
If this resonates with you, put on your suit and dive in with me!
Perhaps it’s the spaciousness in my life right now—being a true empty nester, single, and building a new business from scratch—that has created the perfect environment for this exploration. After all, my coaching company is
"Luv All Coaching, From The Inside Out," so it feels fitting to reflect on how I’m nurturing this love from within.
As I reflect on my relationship with myself over the years, I see that these waters aren’t always calm—they’re swirling with sadness, gratitude, joy, luv, punishment, loneliness, longing… all of it!
I’ve realized how often I’ve expected others, particularly partners, to fill gaps in meeting my own needs.
I’ve run towards self-connection and, at times, away from it. In examining what self-care has looked like at different stages in my life, it’s been a deep, winding, and often challenging quest.
Romantic relationships, in particular, have been mirrors for me. I am grateful for the partners who luved, cherished, and yes-challenged me. Ultimately, these relationships have taught me so much about myself. Even those that didn’t work out have provided me with valuable growth opportunities, forcing me to reflect on how I show up and what I need to do to create healthy, fulfilling connections in the future.
What I’ve come to understand is that the quality of my relationships with others is directly tied to the relationship I have with myself.
And this brings me to what I’m calling my LUV QUEST (corny, I know, but it’s true!).
At heart, I’m all about connection and relationship. These values run deep within me. So why not spend some quality time strengthening my connection with Self? The depth of my relationship with myself sets the tone for everything else.
If you feel called to dive into this Quest too, let's take the plunge together. I’d love to hear about your own journey and discoveries: whether you are looking to strengthen your self-luv, deepen your self-compassion, or simply spend more time reflecting on your inner world, there's space here for you!
Let’s learn from each other and share what we discover.
So here’s to the journey ahead—one that begins on the inside and expands outward to every part of life.
With love and gratitude,
Laura
