Choosing Yourself Every Day: A Path to Self-Love

Hi beautiful soul 🌙

I'm Catarina, a women's life coach — and today I want to speak from the heart about a topic that deeply matters to me: self-love.

Not the kind you post between two inspiring quotes.

Not the one from a Sunday skincare ritual with a face mask.

But the kind you practice when everything feels shaky.

When you’re doubting yourself.When you feel tired, not “enough,” or simply lost.

✨ Self-love isn’t what you think it is

For a long time, I believed loving myself meant "fixing" myself.

Becoming softer, more patient, more productive… always more.

But the truth? Self-love starts where we stop running.

It begins with being present with ourselves — even when it’s messy, confusing, or uncomfortable.

🔍 How to know when you’ve forgotten yourself

You say yes when your heart is screaming no
Your inner voice sounds more like a critic than a friend
You give and give… but forget how to nourish yourself

I see this so often in the women I coach.

We believe we have to earn our own love.

When in fact… it’s already waiting. Right here. Inside.

🌿 3 Gentle Ways to Come Back to Yourself

Because self-love is not a destination — it’s a daily ritual.

Pause. Breathe.
Close your eyes for 3 minutes.
Place a hand on your heart.
Ask yourself: How am I really feeling right now?
Set boundaries with kindness.
Saying no isn’t rejection — it’s a loving yes to yourself.
Shift your self-talk.
Speak to yourself as you would to a dear friend.
Replace “I’m not enough” with “I’m doing my best.”
Watch everything shift.

🌸 At Soul Life Coaching, we’re not trying to “do better.”

We’re here to listen to ourselves, to heal, and to fully embody our truth — with softness, step by step.

I hold sacred spaces where you can drop the masks, the fatigue, the expectations… and finally meet yourself.

💌 What if today, you chose yourself?

You don’t need to be perfect to be worthy of love.You don’t need to have it all figured out to move forward.You just need presence… and a lot of gentleness.

✨ You are worthy of love — especially your own.
