So much has changed this year as well as my mental health being tested. I'm sure you might can relate, which is why I recorded this episode to let you know that you aren't alone. Today's episode is more of a open ranting session. The importance of rest is necessary. Take care of yourself, take your vitamins, meds, rest, schedule a therapy session, etc. Affirmation: I will take care of myself first. 

Book recommendations on manifesting: Manifest Now by Idil Ahmed and Creative Visualization by Shakti Gawain. Affirmation: I am worthy of receiving what my heart desires. 

Today's episode discussion is on applying the 5 love languages to yourself. We cater to our loved ones with their love languages in relationships, but it's also important to put that same energy towards ourselves. The best relationship you can work on is with yourself.  Affirmation: I attract loving, healthy relationships.
