The other day, I was on a Zoom call, looking like a million bucks (as usual), and I thought, “Lena, you are STUNNING.” So what did I do? Took a picture of myself, of course! And you should be doing the same—maybe not the exact same thing (unless, of course, you’re also looking like a masterpiece at that moment), but you should be celebrating yourself, every single day.
Loving yourself isn’t about waiting for someone else to validate you. It’s about waking up in the morning, looking in that mirror, and saying, “Wow, would you look at this gem? This absolute treasure?” Because that’s what you are! A one-of-a-kind, never-duplicated, absolutely delicious human being.
Now, I know, some days it’s easier to notice the wrinkles, the gray hairs, the “oh, I should have gone on that walk instead of eating that third piece of cake.” But let me tell you—you are still worthy of love and admiration—especially from yourself.
So today, strike a pose, give yourself a wink, and say, “Doll, you are MAGNIFICENT.” Because you are. Now go on, blow yourself a kiss and carry on with your fabulous self. Mwah!
