Real Self-Love Habits That Changed Me 💗

“Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it’s having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome. Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s our greatest measure of courage.” Brené Brown, Rising Strong

What’s one thing you do for yourself? 😍

[@NathalieLazo]

I incorporate space for myself in the mornings! I journal, pray for the things I’m grateful for, speak life and encouragement into my soul and take a 5-10 minutes of meditation. 💜

[@JustJodie]

Blocking time out of my day to take care of myself by doing what I want

[@kimgordon3695]

Self check in. You've made it this far!

[@mymateabhi7521]

I meditate, take care of myself and appreciate what I have 😊😊.

[@kimgordon3695]

Vulnerability is not the sum...

[@divamogha5599]

1- be gentle to yourself 2-develop emotional intelligence 3- create and communicate in your boundaries 4-who you are is enough 5-embrace your uniqueness

[@bhavanithillai]

Thank You 😊 my friend 💖

[@rayc9899]

Well say, always treat yourself with care and respect, life is short and you only have one to live to the fullest.

[@nancy4366]

Nope. Didn't learn anything new here. Maybe it's because I'm 57....but probably not. Thanks for saving me the trouble of listening to this intentionally and unusually calm woman's annoying voice.

[@hansikanishshanka567]

Thank you ❤

[@NathalieLazo]

Extraordinary person reading this, you are not define by your circumstance or your past. It’s not what happened to you that determines your success in life; it is how you deal with those circumstances that determines your success in life! You are strong, you are capable and practice forgiveness (Forgiveness is for you) and gratitude everyday. This will change the course of your life forever! Love you always and I believe in you wholeheartedly ✨❤️ - Nat

I am learning to detach and walk away from a life of codependency. I've always prioritize everyone else's needs before honoring my own. This is just the beginning.

How powerful is this ❤

[@PeachesSkinCare]

I came from an abusive childhood. I was darker than my siblings and didn’t know my father. I had several stepfathers and felt very unwanted and unloved. What I have realized at 56 is that none of that has anything to do with who I am. They have made me an amazing mother and wife and friend. I think I have shared this here before? I tell my children, we are spiritual beings having a human experience. I am a huge empathetic and I want to help others and it brings me so much joy and fills my heart. LOVE WHO YOU ARE! Embrace who you are and do not waste one more moment of one more day. You are so special and so amazing! To all of the women out there feeling less than, don’t allow a world that doesn’t appreciate our real beauty or the fact that aging is a beautiful gift to change you ! Please don’t change your face or your path or who you are for ridiculous standards. You are spectacular 🙌🏻🍑🧡Lisa

[@aditin563]

I'm going to use this video as my guided meditation for calmness, peace, and self-worth. Thank you!

[@shahinshaikh07]

Great Idea, I will do the same. Thanks

[@JeanneClarke-ed3nc]

Sophie - I recently found your amazing channel. I am hooked! I love your calming demeanor and your careful choice of words. I am 82 years young and have spent a good portion of my life accumulating "stuff" and recently had to unload so much of it. All of the things I thought I couldn't live without suddenly had to find another home. It was not that difficult to get rid of the things I no longer had space for. The things you say have truly helped me to learn to focus on the quality of life rather than the quantity of things. You are such a lovely young woman and I love the fact that you are such a thoughtful person finding so much to be grateful for without having to go shopping. Thank you for the genuineness you share with your subscribers. I think the world needs more of what you are talking about in the form of mindfulness in what we think, our self-talk and where we choose to spend our money. You are such an inspiration.

[@khalilahd.]

Your honesty and transparency is so inspiring. Realizing your strengths and embracing your weaknesses in order to love yourself and others more is such a priceless skill. I’m learning how to treat my failures as lessons, beautiful video 💜

[@DeandraStubbs]

*The one thing I do for myself is knowing/learning when to say "No" I sometimes will get overwhelmed because I feel I should help everyone who ask for help. I'm learning it's ok to say no or to do nothing at all, there is value there also and it's a time of rest for me.* 😊💕

[@MalamaLife]

Yes!! I can always relate to you. Ultimately, it's up to us to make that call :) thanks Deandra

[@kimgordon3695]

You're enough

[@SaraBiancaBentley]

Beautiful video! I loved “ just because someone gets upset because you say no, doesn’t mean you should’ve said yes” so true… and nice to hear that reassurance ;)

[@DaestrumManitz]

As someone who has suffered from self- deprecation, judging oneself to have underachieved, your vlog really spoke to me at a deep level. Somewhere along the line I learned to forgive myself and to just laugh at life with vehemence. The content you have provided here is extraordinary! Merci, mon ami! 😎🔥

[@sallykirkstephens8415]

I couldn't agree more .

[@iamcris1991]

You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be produce by them. ❤

I need alone time. Time away from everyone and everything and yes even my wife (whom understands) Thanks Sophie - Wonderful Video!!!!

[@MalamaLife]

That's great that she understands 😊❤ my husband understands as well

[@OnTheSensitiveSide]

Same! It was hard at first to allow myself that alone time without feelings of guilt, but I’ve have learned to embrace it with kindness towards myself.

[@michelepace777]

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful story. I truly needed this right now. I will never again let anyone make me feel small for investing in myself and for loving myself and for having healthy boundaries for saying NO.

[@slownaturalliving3218]

This was truly one of your best videos! I loved your quote "Saying no to others is saying yes to me". Something I had to learn the hard way and I still have problems with saying no (although it got better ;)). It's really deeply connected to self-love to say no to things like overtimes, annoying jobs, and so on. I also think that it's a little bit sad that we all struggle with it. Self love and self care are so important and should be tought at school.

[@OnTheSensitiveSide]

Absolutely. Perhaps youtube videos such as these will become an integral part of education ☺

[@somanystars2295]

What I did was set a boundary with my cruel sister which she did not keep so I do not speak with her and found the peace I've always wanted. It was hard but I feel happy and content.

[@william.the.writer]

Gotta praise your parents for giving you and your sister a safe space to be vulnerable.

[@AndreeaNastase]

It was so nice to hear this. I also struggled with identity issues, born in one country but lived in five foreign ones. Too foreign for all of them, and now too foreign for where I’m actually from, as well. I realized home is a feeling we create for ourselves, no matter where we are. Thank you for this video and your honesty 😊

[@asselabilseitova6138]

This is beautiful. I'm on the same path.

[@sharminkhanluies6461]

Dear Sophie, you are always an inspiration. Be healthy and happy.

[@MalamaLife]

Thank you so much ❤

[@lovebug7]

I think that loving someone else is more important than self love. I can truly realize that caring for my children has taught me how to truly care for another human and love them deeply. But the love for God is greater in me than any other love and my values and my faith have made me a Great person. I'm so grateful today I'm 44 my eldest son is 28 he was not planned ofcourse and He came into this world in the most negative worst circumstances; but my grandma showed me how to love him. I really didn't want a child that came out of that situation. Then I got married to a loving man one that changed my way of seeing men. I have three daughters with him ages 25, 23 and 20. I'm grateful for my family. Love is Great.

[@atciitwcat]

I need more people like you in my life

[@MalamaLife]

🥰❤️

[@YS-js5my]

I love your videos . This one came at the right time . I said NO to a situation today that I knew if I wouldn’t of , would of taken me out of my peaceful space . This person is close to me so that’s always difficult but I am learning now in my 40s to always live in my truth. I am learning to create boundaries and that is what keeps me at peace .

[@MalamaLife]

I'm also learning to live in my truth :) thank you for watching

[@rebeccal.672]

I love how the first thing you mention was to take care of your self it is so important. It seems that at least for the US we value being busy, and work over self worth or self care. Thanks. :)

[@MalamaLife]

The priorities are so backwards! Thanks Rebecca ❤

[@beverleyroberts1025]

I think being beautiful on the inside, kind and loving is the best gift anyone can have. It definitely brings you more joy and healthy relationships. But you are also a beautiful girl on the outside too. You have a lovely face and beautiful hair.x 😊

[@MalamaLife]

You're so sweet. Thank you Beverley!! ❤

[@martindurkin8837]

Dear Sophie this one made me cry as I am not well as a result of not taking care of myself the last few years (a death) I can relate to everything you say and hope to do better. Thank you for the hard fought wisdom (and the close-up of Lily who I absolutely love.❤)

[@isiomaononye]

These are amazing tips. Watching this video is so soothing 😌 The tip about being gentle with yourself matters because we have to be kind to ourselves. That’s the ultimate form of self-love. The world is cruel and wicked enough so let’s at least treat ourselves well.

[@aedb15t]

This watch feels really timely. A self love meditation about 30 minutes ago and then the Universe brought this to my feed. Thank you.

[@MalamaLife]

Thanks for watching :) glad you found my videos

[@Danaclerici]

Love this ! Great video !!!

[@bamber4757]

There was a couple gems shared in this video but the one that stands out most to me was the idea that what we have makes up who we are. But also... the things we don't have and the circumstance we're in also makes us who we are. It contributes to the essence of our being and makes our uniqueness that much more valuable. That was so powerful to me because we're taught that what we have and the more we have makes up who we are. Who we aren't and what we dont have is just as powerful.

[@ericeichstaedt2357]

This has got to be the hardest thing! And I think there's so much self talk that goes unnoticed and it can sometimes have negative effects on our self esteem and well being. Thus reminds me, I've gotten off meditating, something helpful to my self awareness. Never been good at journaling, but that could help. But I'm glad you did the work to have a good relationship with yourself so you can model it for us! Thanks!

[@bluelotusmeditation]

Another wonderful video! Setting boundaries is such and important part of our well being and can often be hard to recognize and enforce with others. People tend to want to be people pleases. One way that I offer to my practitioners is that if someone asks you to do something that makes you hesitant to act upon (not necessary because it's a new activity or such), such as staying late at work, coming into work unscheduled, or infringes on your self-care time, that would be an example of where your boundary lies. Recognizing that slight hesitation is the first step in enforcing our boundaries and promoting our well being.

Hi Sophie, I've been in love with your channel and sharing it with many people. I feel a little bit tired now, and it seems like I am not doing good enough (just at work, everything else is okay). I usually find myself distracted, slow, but very careful in work. The overall result is okay, but it's not - you know - excellent. So how can you know you are now good enough and not stress yourself out, or you need to keep improving and becoming as good as other colleges? Sending love from Asia!
