The root is still apart of the rose

Hello Lovely! I am Alexis, your Self Care Guru.

Step 1 in Self-Care is Awareness of Self.

My path of awareness started as a young seed; first subtly, became aware of my breath & my heart beat, then my thoughts & the range of trees that passed quickly as my family took road trips across the East Coast. As an adult, my awareness expanded into depth. Awareness of Self. "What do i like? Where do my thoughts lead? How is my energy? Am i standing in my truth? In what ways do i embrace & express Self-Love?" Everyone's journey is unique & their own but the one thing we must all carry with us through all moments of honor & criticism is Self-Love.

​

Step 2 in Self-Care is Self-Love; Loving your flaws.

Self-Love is the best love because when you experience a love like this, you experience a world full of bliss. We bring awareness to ourselves to learn who we are & what we stand for and when we embrace the lessons we've learned to get here, our love (for self, for growth, for change) is free to come in and fill all of the little gaps we used to spend so much time picking away at. The idea is to embrace who you've always been; before the liars, doubters, & others lacking awareness (and inspiration) tried convincing you otherwise. 

​

Step 3 in Self-Care is... SHOWING IT.

Have you told yourself you love you today?

There are many ways to show yourself you're all in when it comes to you. 

Stand in front of the mirror before & after you brush your hair & tell yourself how beautiful you are. (Most importantly, before you brush your hair) What do you admire most about yourself?

Repeat affirmations out loud. Listen to your favorite songs. Shop til you drop. Dine at your favorite restaurant..ALONE.

Spend time with & on yourself. Get a pedicure. Go to the park. Lay in the grass.

If you have to, cut people out of your life; love them from a distance. Let people love you.

Or simply wake up a little earlier to make yourself breakfast.

Whatever you do, be mindful of the intent you fix upon yourself. & always let it be rooted in love.
