Happy Self Love Valentine ♥️

Happy Self Love Valentine ♥️

Dear Creative Friend,

Many of us extend kindness, care, and love to those around us, yet often we fail to offer ourselves the same level of love & compassion. This Valentine’s Day, I’m reaching out to my incredible creative circle—including you, and yes, YOU! 😊 —to encourage a deeper connection with yourself. It’s a gentle reminder to prioritise self-care, self-love, and self-appreciation. You are worth it you know? All that love you give to others! ♥️♥️♥️

Neglecting to treat ourselves with gentle kindness, compassion, empathy, and understanding can detrimentally affect our mental health, self-esteem, and overall wellbeing. While self-love and self-care might seem superfluous at times, they are essential practices that significantly benefit our mental and general health.

You might be wondering, “What does self-love entail?”
The concept is broad and highly personal. Depending on your life experiences, self-love can manifest in various forms—be it engaging in deep trauma work with a therapist, establishing firm boundaries, carving out time for enjoyable activities, creating self-gratitude lists, enjoying a relaxing bath or simply buying yourself the flowers, chocolate and cake! 💖 💐🍫
The key is to treat yourself like
you treat someone else you love deeply. 
♥️ 

A Gift from me to YOU! 

I’ve prepared another fun poster, this time it’s one with Self Love Affirmations. You can print it out and hang it around your house or studio and recite the affirmations daily! 😊 Oh! And it’s free! Hope you love it!

Download the high resolution versions of the posters in this bundle here. You can print these out for personal use. Feel free to forward to friends. ♥️♥️♥️
If no one told you yet today; you are loved! ❤️

Have a wonderful V-day everyone, may it inspire you to more self-love, less self-blame and an awe and complete acceptance of your unique amazing SELF!

Much love,
Tam 💕

This little cutie on a swing just popped up on my memories and I love the mixed media textures and her cutie little face in this so much! 😍😍😍 I painted this 6 years ago.

The wonderful @therapistsanctuary and I have filmed another session for our `Creative Sanctuary` series on the y tubes 😊 . This time we talked about `shame` and `shadow work` in general. Jen made a doll and I made an empathy monster! 😊 Many of you will have created an empathy monster with me before in response to the Shadow Work Life Book lesson in the past (and also on woman unleashed!) This cutie did not disappoint me. 😊 The episode will be up on my channel soon! ♥️♥️♥️ Link in my bio/ linktree.

When I`m low and life feels heavy, I end up creating innocent, delightfully cute creatures. I don`t tend to paint `my pain`, I tend to paint `what I need` or `what will soothe me`. The sweet characters offer a reprieve of some sorts, an escape from the dark, a soulful moment of compassion and empathy. I can hear this cute little guy say; “hey hey, it’s gonna be ok, want a cookie or a hug?” 😊 Hope he brightens up your day too. ♥️♥️♥️
