2017 is a great year for Self-Love

Going into a new year is exciting, full of possibility and potential! But don't forget; every morning you wake up holds that same potential. Every morning you can start anew. Every moment you can create a more positive energy and outlook for your life. Whether you have never heard of positive affirmations or are a veteran self lover; here are 17 affirmations to help you conquer 2017 and master self love.


For the Curious Beginner:

So maybe you're new to this, congratulations! Welcome to the wonderful self love club, we are honored to have you. Self love can be intimidating, we all know how intense and powerful love is, but you totally go this! To get started keep it simple, it's easier to convince yourself of little lovely truths that will soon snowball into magnificent facts that you are confident to shout from the rooftops! These are a few of the first sweet nothings I would quietly whisper to myself when I first started:

1. I am going to be ok.

2. I am Enough.

3. I am Worthy.

4. I am going to be better.

5. I can do this.

For the Blossoming Self Lover:

Maybe you aren't new to self love and you have been dabbling in it for a while. Now is the time for strong and simple words. You have everything you need within you, take a moment to highlight some traits that have been in the dark for too long and get ready to let your soul shine!

6. I am Smart.

7. I am Kind.

8. I am Strong.

9. I am Capable.

10. I am Awesome.

For the Confident Adventurer:

Maybe you're already rocking it pretty well on the self love front, get it baby! Maybe you are trying this level of confidence for the first time. The key to confidence is knowing you've got it all. Everything you want to be or need in your life is already all there. Start believing in your abilities and watch your confidence and amazingness grow. You already have it all, stop searching, you have it! Believe it!

11. I am a Wonder to Behold.

12. I am Amazing to All.

13. I am Badass!

For the Fucking Fearless:

Maybe you have been a Self Love member for a while now, it's fun, right? Maybe you are just ready to be done with believing the bullshit lies you've been telling yourself for years. Either way, within you in greatness. Within you is so much beauty, love, and everything you have been looking for out in the world. You have it all, rock it!

14. I am so fucking Loved!

15. I am so fucking Loving!

16. I am so fucking Perfect in this Moment!

17. I love you so fucking much me!

You have the Power

This year, don't look outside to fulfill what you are craving and needing to fill whatever gap you are experiencing in life. You have everything you need, it's all been waiting for you to shine a light on it. Allow more light into your soul to help it grow. Love is so powerful! Empower yourself and those around you by loving yourself more this year. Everything in life will unfold before you the more you love you shower on yourself and spill onto others.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
