Just the other day I had an absolute self-love epiphany. I read through some of my old journals that were from when I was 20-22 (I'm now 34), and holy shit. That young woman was so desperate for love, but was never worth it and never got enough of it from herself or others, so now I'm going to give that 21-year-old in me ALL the love in the world! Passionately! Everything she always deserved and more!
I adore all content to do with self love, and you say it so beautifully. This is a video full of hope, joy, love and something I will find myself watching time and time again. Finding your content back in 2021 has changed my relationship with myself. Self love has become a vital part of my everyday life. You were the person who showed me what self care and self love REALLY means. PS that shirt is BEAUT.
I am so mean to myself. I don't want to be. I want to love and support myself. One thing I did find helpful that you brought up in a session we had was think about how much my dog loves me and how upset she'd be if she knew I was mean to myself. I feel like I'm improving but I still really struggle.
I know this was a video from a month ago but it really resonated with me at this very moment. I’m a cancer mom and have been for 19yrs. My son is on remission number 5 of his second cancer and it is such a gigantic struggle to me to always be self loving since most of my job is doing things that are in opposition of what most people want to do. I always joke that I am Cobra Bubbles from Lilo & Stitch movie. “I’m the one people call when things have gone wrong. And things have definitely gone wrong.” A quote from the movie but it is truth to my life because I am the one people call when things have gone wrong because people know I know how to get shit done even when no one wants to get the things done that have to be done. Unfortunately for me that tends to mean I end up being the bad guy because I need to hold that proverbial mirror up for people so they can see what has to take place in order for things to happen that have to happen for success if the situation. I do it all from a place of love and self sacrifice. That tends to make me not as an important individual in life in these situations whether that means the situation isn’t directly about me and affects me indirectly or being dismissed due to not being the patient but the advocate that is just causing trouble. It’s a wicked difficult path to traverse and I have to do it in a way that’s almost like a dance. Anywho, I often play second fiddle to my own life and experiences causing me to become neglected not just by others but by myself to the point where I don’t even realize I’ve lost that important aspect of self love I need to contain within myself for myself. I am so pleased to have stumbled across your video right now. I desperately needed to hear this and start the work again and I have. Making a very loud point that floats around me that I am involved in self love daily even if that means I have to walk away at times or speak the truth the people don’t want to hear because they just want me to continue to take on all the difficult things myself and fix them. I absolutely love how you explained about pulling from the different aspects of your life development to reclaim your self love and I have been instilling that technique daily recently. To say I thoroughly enjoyed this video is an understatement and I will most definitely be listening to this several times over the coming weeks as my own private pep talk as I reclaim myself through self love once again! Take care ⭐️❤️🩹
I've felt like I've had a pretty good handle on self love over the past few years.. but you've made me realise that I can improve, I definitely harshly insult myself in private when I've disappointed myself 😅 As a teen I would hit myself in the head repeatedly too, sometimes run head first into a wall or slam it on a door when I felt really hopeless, but thankfully I've almost entirely stopped the head abuse.
This makes me cry because I need this video so much! I keep stopping and rewinding the video to take notes. Any chance that your third book could be all about Self Love? No one taught me self love until you Kelly-Ann. I have lived in such torment because of how I have been treated. I can't seem to get my mind out of the past and thinking about it. Your self love videos have saved me and I love how each year of Self Love September is new and different, changed and updated. Much love to you Kelly-Ann! You are a Self Love Goddess!
I’m a few months in with my psychotherapist doing IFS therapy, at almost 40 with CPTSD, I’m finally healing and learning to self love but also to forgive myself for the times I didn’t self love. I have so much more compassion for myself as a result of the understanding I gained from this therapy. Being a practicing witch for most of my adult life is now becoming more intuitive than ever before with the healing I’ve done. I have an alter dedicated to myself and loving myself, being secure in my parts, my body, my beauty. I do a ritual every Friday for myself just centered on self love and compassion. I once read a quote from someone whose name I can’t remember but it went something like this…”treat yourself with the same compassion you would show a small child” and that hit me so deep and I’ll never forget it, especially in times when I have so little compassion for myself. 💛 thank you for your content, YOU are one of the ones who inspires!
Holy *uck KellyCakes I needed to hear this right now! Bang on as always but sooo timely. My partner of twenty six years is dying of lung cancer. It’s so difficult to do. But over time I have lost myself completely made myself small, especially where his domineering family are concerned. But I am taking your words on board time for a massive sea change when this is over.
I relate so much to this whole video. ❤❤❤ It describes my journey with self-love so thoroughly. I enjoyed this video so much. One of the biggest things I learned is that self-love is not a feeling, not the warm, cozy and pink emotion one has in relation to oneself (although eventually it can turn into that). Self-love is primarily a collection of self-devoted, self-nurturing, self-validating and self-honoring behaviours. It's a responsibility towards the well-being of self in every way, and accountability towards the self. And it is an absolute prerequisite to be a genuinely loving, kind and open person towards others.
Damn Kelly-Ann!! ❤ This whole thing just hit me over the head in so many good ways, THANK U!! I've been searching for self-love tools for years on this rollercoaster of a self-love journey. The concept of apologizing to myself has totally cracked my head open!🤯😆 Whaaaaaattt?! That's amazing. This video will definitely be on repeat for me. 😍 You have sprinkled some KAM dust on my soul and I'm so grateful. 🥰 You are the bee's knees my love! Sending mad hugs to u!!
Down to the wire survivor here 🙏🏻💕 4 years and counting 💕 I’m in the middle of your book Witch In Darkness and as a fellow self-care warrior, I’m so glad I found your media content 🙏🏻💪🏻
I'm glad you pointed out the bits about if someone was living with another person who was constantly berating them about mistakes in a way that is catastrophizing, degrading, or demeaning, that you'd tell them to get away. i recently escaped a situation with my dad because i knew i was being abused, essentially and it also made me realize that the voices in my head like the mom from carrie, saying "there all gonna laugh at you," was coming directly from him. now, i have to do some intense trauma work, because i feel guilty even though i know my experience was horrible, but at least i've escaped and got myself out. thanks for that validation, even though i know you were talking about how you speak to yourself as opposed to someone else. but i think we know that those habits come from other people. we don't just wake up with self-hating tendencies. i also love that you mentioned the bits about lying in order to get your freedom, because it made me feel human. i don't want to lie, but the people in our lives who oppress us don't understand how often they leave us with no choice.
Remember? Why am I with such powerful beings that only seemingly enjoy watching me battle myself for self-love??? They watch us hate/love ourselves and laugh at us for their own fucked up amusement. Curse them to come down here and talk to all of us face to face.
when my life gets rough, I come back to Kelly-Ann and self-love september is the balm I need! Also your bangs are back!! I feel back in 2015 discovering your channel for the first time :')
can i just say its so cool to see you flip into "ad-mode" for the first time after watching you for so long without sponsorship! hehe i'm happy for you!
This year and next are going to be hard for me, what with ny being made redundant in October. Self-Love is the watchword for the last part of this year for me. Thank you, Kelly-Ann ❤️
@@kelly-annmaddox Thank you, and much love to you. ❤️ I'm going to concentrate on generating all the positive energies I bring to work, and daily giving myself the cream off the top of that first, before I spread the tonglen around the neighbourhood. ❤️
❤ the grounding of Kelly-Ann talking about self- love in Sept! It has become like a season orientation and helps me become present into the time of year we're at. (Hope that makes sense)❤
Wow your so so amazingly talented and amazingly awesome your videos are out of this world you are brilliant and great xxxxxxxxxxxxx 👩❤️👨💑😍💍🥰🫦💖💋👄💘😘💝❤️💗xxxxxxxxxx
I get that, I really do. I think it sometimes has to start with just, 'you did good there, keep working on that.' If you can't hug yourself then give yourself a pat on the back when you do something that felt hard but got done regardless. X
And all of your comments are endless brainless borg praises of "wow Kelly-Ann omg you're so right I totally need more of your videos to keep learning how to love myself!!!" :D ...??? Again, if self love is already inherent in all of us being born perfect already and the whole purpose of life since it's finite in the 3d is to enjoy every single moment of it, like what we all learned from the Disney movie Soul, why tf do our own gods keep us in these fight for your own self-love misery prisons??? Why is life shitty and miserable and all we can do is pray to the gods and journal about the wonders and mysticisms and devic mind candy that's useless they feed to us to munch on to keep us distracted from what's really going on. Hmm....
Question everything about what you're doing with your life and with your gods. What are y'all really doing to help making the world a better place? Self love practices and artistic journaling? Sounds like escapism to the max. Why not have the gods come down to earth face to face with us and we all work together in harmony to make the world a better place for everyone? Why do they have to stay for off and invisible and too far for us to conceive except for the fight for self love??? What practical sense does that make??? NONE!!! WAKE UP KELLY YOUR GODS ABUSE YOU AND YOU ENJOY IT AND EAT IT UP LIKE CANDY!!! STOP AND CRITICIZE THEM!! ASK THEM TO SHOW THEIR REAL KARMAS AND FACES TO YOU!!! BE MAD AT THEM!!!
thank you thank you thank you for continuing your self-love september series 🥹💕 you're reaching a little corner in mexico and i really needed this little chat 🥹🙌🏽💕
Kelly-Ann you are looking sooo lovely and healthy and REBORN 💕 you're glowing ✨ I love you big sis (I never had) Lol thank you for making this video. It's perfect for me right now. 🙏 Update: I just finished the video with my morning cuppa coffee and this has been so encouraging and so inspiring and it really reminded me of my inner strength. Girl, you are and have always been my HERO. 🩷 Thank you for reminding me of the importance of hugging yourself, and APOLOGIZING to yourself, like that's so huge.. That was such a beautiful and profound video for me🩷🩷🩷

I used to be a religious SELF HATER! But I chose a different path above all else and that is my self love.
