New month, new opportunities. For the month of September, it’s all about seizing opportunities for self care because buckle up for Self Care Awareness Month! 

The next time you meditate, think about the world you know around you and the influences on your ways of thinking. Ask yourself, Did the world teach me that I deserve good things and time to myself? Or did this world teach me that everything else is more important than my health?

If you’re even asking yourself “what is self care” then this is your sign to bring positive change to your life. How?

By putting yourself first. That’s not the same as being selfish though.

Putting your wellness first through self care isn’t selfish. It’s a means of survival. When you’re navigating through life and enduring stressors, you can learn to unwind and let those everyday stressors roll off your back.

Birchbox reported once, “74% of people consider self-care to mean taking care of their bodies, while 57% think it means taking a mental break. 39% of men say they consistently make time for self-care while only 32% of women do.”

When it comes to those statistics, where do you find yourself? Think about it for a second.

Now… are you ready for a challenge? 

For the 30 days of September, plan for one act of self care a day. You can use the Self Care Planner from the Self Love Collection to help keep your plans organized for the months to come! Keep it going, and remember… self care isn’t just for when you’re feeling burnt out. It’s as important as the air you breathe!

Choose you; prioritize you.

September is a great month to zone in and focus on positive affirmations with language (words) around happiness and comfortable, stress-free living. Remember, the goal with affirmations is to shift the vibe so you can manifest the mindful life of your dreams. We challenge you to remember to put yourself first!

Repeat after us:

I love myself, just the way I am.

I love myself, just the way I am.

I love myself, just the way I am.

Before you go, we created this desktop background for you with this affirmation so you can repeat it every day as part of your self care plans. It’s a great starting point especially if self care is something you’re just leaning into. This wallpaper will serve as a constant reminder to choose your needs and remember that self care isn’t selfish. Repeat the affirmation, and also make sure you follow the daily self care essentials, and see your mindset shift.
