❣️It’s Not Selfish, it’s Self-Love

We often feel the need to sacrifice our own happiness for others, but it’s important to remember that self-care should never be neglected. Focusing on yourself isn’t selfishness. When you are your best self, you are able to bring a deeper sense of happiness, fulfillment, and support to those around you. By prioritizing self-care, you create a positive ripple effect, positively impacting not only your own well-being but also the well-being of others in your life.

Create a routine that prioritizes self-care and puts yourself first:

  1. Start with Small Steps: Incorporating self-care into your routine doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Begin by setting aside just a few minutes each day for activities that bring you joy and relaxation.
  2. Identify Your Needs: Take the time to reflect on your personal needs and what activities or practices nourish your mind, body, and soul. It could be reading a book, going for a walk, practicing mindfulness, or engaging in a hobby.
  3. Schedule Dedicated “Me Time”: Treat self-care as a non-negotiable appointment with yourself. Set aside specific time slots in your calendar for activities that solely focus on your well-being. It can be daily, weekly, or monthly, depending on your schedule.
  4. Set Boundaries: Learn to say “no” when you need to and establish boundaries that protect your time and energy. Communicate your limits to others and don’t feel guilty about prioritizing your own needs.
  5. Delegate and Ask for Help: Recognize that you don’t have to do everything on your own. Delegate tasks and responsibilities to others when possible, and don’t hesitate to ask for help when you need it. It’s okay to lean on your support system.
  6. Practice Self-Love: Be kind and gentle with yourself. Treat yourself with the same care and understanding you would extend to a loved one. Embrace imperfections and forgive yourself.
  7. Recharge Regularly: Schedule regular breaks and moments of rest. Take time to recharge your batteries and replenish your energy. This could involve taking short breaks throughout the day, setting aside an entire day for self-care, or planning vacations and retreats.
  8. Establish Healthy Boundaries with Technology: Create downtime away from screens and technology to promote relaxation and better sleep. Set boundaries around technology use before bed and in the morning to start and end your day on a peaceful note.

Remember, creating a routine that prioritizes yourself is an ongoing process. Be flexible and adaptive, and find what works best for you and your unique circumstances. By consistently making self-care a priority, you’ll nurture your overall well-being and increase your capacity to care for others.

“Self-care is not a luxury; it’s a necessity for optimal well-being.”
Jennifer Aniston

🌟Intuitive Insight Mid NOV

♈︎ARIES Mar 21–Apr 19

You have learned versatility and how to be open to other ways of doing things. I would embrace that energy right now. You’re getting what you want and you can easily set yourself free on a new journey that you’re hoping to go on. Whatever change you’re making is going to be the thing that kind of it brings something more into your life (like if you get a new job, but you also find love). Complimentary blessings!

♉︎TAURUS Apr 20–May 20

Whatever you’re wishing for is what you will get. Get clear and then get specific. If you have been facing any issues or challenges, you are successfully bridging the gap and overcoming them. To have a quick turnaround in luck, don’t beat yourself up and also forgive yourself. If you’re fearing the criticism from starting something new, people are always going to criticize you, that’s just life. Just do it anyway, Taurus!

♊︎GEMINI May 21–Jun 20

Has your energy been scattered lately? It’s time to refocus. If you maintain your vision and if you have that one big goal, wish, dream that you focus on, you can accomplish it plain and simple. Concentrate and stay focused. All your hard work is paying off, which has been a common theme in your readings, Gemini.

♋︎CANCER Jun 21–Jul 22

You can feel that things are speeding up. You’re doing a lot of work and you can sense success is coming in quickly. But at the same time, make sure not to ignore the things that are important to you. If your work life balance is way off, it’s time to reprioritize having more fun and enjoying yourself. Don’t let life pass you by. Keep in mind that if something is not a Hell Yes it’s a Hell No.

♌︎LEO Jul 23–Aug 22

Don’t repeat a mistake. For you to have a victory it is critical to put up boundaries & walk away from things that cause you pain and don’t serve your highest good. If you felt left you out in the cold, it’s time to clean up the energy (and any lingering abandonment issues). Get rid of that energy by reprogramming your thoughts with positive truths and surround yourself with gratitude for the things you already have. The moment you feel the feeling of self-love & true gratitude, that’s when you’re going to have a major victory.

♍︎VIRGO Aug 23–Sep 22

There’s something new coming in for you. If you’ve been one foot in one foot out, the choice really should be to just pick the new direction. Now more than ever (whether it’s in love or in life) trusting the evidence is going to be your best plan. Make sure you’re picking things that align with you. Be open to discovering new ways of doing things. You are divinely protected, but be careful of going to any extremes. Take a step, gather the evidence, take another, gather more evidence. One step at a time, Virgo.

♎︎LIBRA Sep 23–Oct 22

Focus on the Queen of Wands (she is your superpower this month). She is bold, assertive & she doesn’t need to know all the answers. She just focuses on things that bring her joy, happiness & fulfillment and doesn’t care what anyone else thinks. Make sure you’re tapping into your emotions and following what your emotions are telling you…not what everyone else in your life is telling you to do, or not what you think you should do. It’s more what you feel you should do.

♏︎SCORPIO Oct 23–Nov 21

There will always be a million reasons not to do something. But, if there’s one good reason that you should that’s all that matters. If there’s one good reason you should start that business, or start that YouTube channel, or start dating that person (or whatever) that’s enough. If you have a hidden talent gift skill or ability, or if you have something that you would like to do that involves the hidden talent gift skill or ability…do it.

♐︎SAGITTARIUS Nov 22–Dec 21

Are you ready to get your hustle on? I am not a fan of the hustle culture thing, I think we need balance in life. But, if you’re doing it for a short period of time, if you’re putting a bunch of work into your business just to get it established, it is going to be very good for you. All the luck that is coming in for you is coming from actions that you are taking. Take advantage of any opportunities that come your way. I would think be thinking bigger, just because you can.

♑︎CAPRICORN Dec 22–Jan 19

You’re letting go of something that made you sad, and you’re seeing a brighter future in your life. You have the World card meaning accomplishments and good things coming in for you. You’re gonna have to put the work in, it’s not gonna just magically happen, but it’s a very very good energy. If you’re getting into something new, I do feel you should protect it from external influences. Commit 110% to make it happen.

♒︎AQUARIUS Jan 20–Feb 18

You have the Unfinished Symphony card. Something needs to be brought to its conclusion for you to get the rewards. More than ever , focus on the quality of the work you are putting into things, and out to the world. Find a way to add that little extra icing on the cake, to finish strong. Consider doing things out of logical order for a breakthrough in success. Focus on the future. The past is the most destructive, and it’s time to let go of those old stories.

♓︎PISCES Feb 19–Mar 20

You’re committing to a new journey and people are going to be shocked by the changes you’re making in the near future. You’re just stepping into you have always been, Pisces! Make sure that you’re getting an equal exchange of energy from the things you invest into. Tap into a childlike curiosity and energy, and be a little more playful in life.

I recommend looking at your Sun Moon & Rising Signs for a complete picture of your energy.

  • SUN = your core personality
  • MOON = your emotions
  • RISING = the mask you wear (what the world sees)
