Once you have written your letter I want you to do this simple but incredibly powerful practice. You do not need anything special. You do not need extra time. You just need yourself.

Find a photo of yourself as a little girl. Hold it in your hands and really look at her. Look at that little face. If you do not have a childhood photo of yourself you can use a photo of your own child or simply stand in front of the mirror and look into your own eyes.

Then say these words out loud to her:

"I see you. I love you. I am so proud of you. And I am going to take care of you from now on."

Then wrap your arms around yourself and give yourself a real hug. I know it might feel silly. Do it anyway. That little girl inside you needs to feel it.

Today we are going to go a little deeper still. But I promise I will be right there with you the whole way.

Before you do anything else today I want you to find a quiet comfortable spot, somewhere you won't be interrupted, and do today's inner child guided visualization. Give yourself full permission to really go there. To feel whatever comes up. To let it move through you without judging it or pushing it away.

So many of us are walking around every single day being driven by the unmet needs of a little girl who never got what she truly needed. Maybe nobody told her she was smart enough. Maybe she learned early that she had to earn love. Maybe she was told to be smaller, quieter, less. Maybe she just needed someone to see her and tell her she was enough exactly as she was.

Today you get to be that person for her.

When the visualization is done I want you to just sit for a moment. Breathe. Let whatever came up just be there without rushing to fix it or figure it out. Then when you are ready come back here.

We are halfway through and I just want to take a moment to acknowledge you. The work you have been doing this week is not surface level. You have been going to the deep places and that takes real courage.

A NOTE BEFORE THE WEEKEND 🌿

You just completed week 1 of the Self Love Reset and I want you to take a moment to really acknowledge yourself for that. You showed up. You did the deep work. You were brave enough to look at the places that needed the most love and that is not something everyone is willing to do.

Now I want you to rest.

The weekend is yours to use in whatever way feels most nourishing to you. Here are a few ways you might want to spend it:

✧ Revisit any day from this week that you want to go deeper with. Maybe there was a visualization that brought up something big or a journal prompt you want to sit with longer.

✧ Go back and do any practices you may have skipped. There is no judgment here, life happens, and the weekend is a beautiful opportunity to catch up at your own pace.

✧ Pick your favorite movement practice from the week and do it again just because it felt good.

✧ Listen to your affirmations audio on a walk or while you are getting ready. Let those words keep doing their work even on your rest days.

✧ Simply rest. Integrate. Let everything you have experienced this week settle into your body and your nervous system. That is not laziness. That is part of the process.

Week 2 starts on Monday and I cannot wait to welcome you back. We are going even deeper and I promise it is going to be so good. You are so ready for it.

Have a great weekend beautiful! You have earned it! 💛

Open your journal and write a letter to the little girl you just visited. Tell her everything she needed to hear back then. You might want to start with something like:

"Dear little [your name], I see you. I am so sorry nobody told you this sooner but..."

There is no right or wrong way to do this. Just let it flow. Let it be messy and real and honest. She has been waiting a long time to hear from you.

Some things you might want to tell her:

✧ That she is enough exactly as she is

✧ That she did not cause the hard things that happened

✧ That she is deeply loved

✧ That she is safe now

✧ That you are going to take care of her from here

This is what self love actually looks like. Not a bubble bath or a face mask, although those are lovely too. It is this. Showing up for the parts of yourself that have been waiting the longest to be seen.

You are so brave for doing this work. I am so proud of you! 💛
