Me at My BEST Monday! Meet your EGO! When you have an identity shaped by comparing yourself to others you have a false self-love run by your ego. This false self-love is exhausting because you are always trying to be THE best and not YOUR best by learning your qualities and why you matter.

Me at My BEST Monday! Meet your SELFIE! When you have an identity created by discovering WHO you are, you have real self-love. This type of self-love allows you to appreciate your qualities and those of the people around you. It's fulfilling, long lasting and makes you happier and more confident!

Me at my BEST Monday! Part of discovering your self love is putting all the skills and understandings of Peace, Respect, Friendship, Wellness, and Beauty together, and using them as you grow, change, and embrace each day. This is YOU!! And this is YOU at your very BEST!

Me at my BEST Monday! The matryoshka doll is a great way to understand beauty. The layers of dolls represent the ROLES that you do, and the tiny solid doll underneath them all is YOU...your selfie! When the qualities of this selfie shine through the layers, this is when beauty is expressed. 🌟

Me at My BEST Monday! What does it mean to be beautiful? Beauty has everything to do with WHO you are, rather than your outer show (that’s wellness). You are beautiful when you express a quality so brightly someone else can feel it. That's why a song can be beautiful, and you can't see that! 🌟

Me at My BEST Monday! Wellness is ongoing efforts of self-love. It happens through taking care of your body, mind, and selfie. Some days you have more effort for your wellness, and other days your wellness requires rest. You deserve love, safety, health, and respect...every day! 💖

Me at my BEST Monday! It's important to have a routine where you keep your self-love momentum going! Keeping a reflection journal or engaging in quietly being time, just 5-10 min a day, can achieve this! You are lovable and important, and you deserve time to recognize and feel this. 💖

Me at my BEST Monday! Managing feelings in a healthy way requires identifying them and practicing HOW to respond BEFORE feeling them. Example: When I feel jealous, my mind can tell my body I am loved. Having a feelings response plan will make you feel proud of yourself and keep you at your best!🌟

Me at My Best Monday! Wellness for your mind and feelings involves learning, caring for your emotions, feeling your feelings, and communicating! Ego is quick to judge. Feel your feelings, accept them, identify them, and use your SKILLS to manage them in a healthy way.
