Happy Self Love Saturday!

Hey guys, how are you? Today I want to talk to you about being your own self motivator aka your own coach! A lot of people ask me how and why I started my self love journey and it was simply because I wanted to live a better life and do more for myself. I knew that the only person who was going to get me to that place was ME so I became my own coach! I focused on positive changes, growth, love and relying solely on myself instead of other people. Prior to this I spent my life blaming outside factors and other people for my problems and mishaps and it got me nowhere, I didn’t want to do this anymore. I focused on me and motivated my own self love journey and two years later here I am! Check out my video below on the importance of being your own coach!

Happy Self Love Saturday!

Hey guys today I want to talk with you about “Owning Your Creativity” inspired by an awesome twitter chat I was apart of a few weeks ago with Melissa Kimble and LoveMyCC.com. When I think of what made me decide and feel confident in owning my creativity, it all starts with Self Love. With this journey I was able to commit to creating a vision board, making a plan, having discipline for my craft and career and being shameless with my self promotion. All of these things came about with commiting to self love and I was able to own who I am, what I do and where I plan to go! Check out my video below on the importance of Self Love and Creativity and as well check out LoveMyCC.com and become a part of the next twitter chat in May.

(New Video Post) Finding Self Love in a Relationship #SelfLoveSaturday

Happy Self Love Saturday!

Today I want to talk to you guys about the moment I discovered I needed self love more than ever before and it was while I was in a relationship. I am naturally a very giving and selfless person and through out my life it has been both a gift and a curse. In the past when I’d be in a relationship I would be so concerned and focused on the needs of my partner that I would often end up forgetting about myself or putting my wants away in the back of my mind. I feared if I didn’t do everything for the person infront of me that they would leave me or think I wasn’t good enough, I was leading with fear. This was a terrible way to be, because I was putting my insecurities first and living with them instead of fixing them. I knew at this time that I needed self love. I was holding on to damage from my past experiences and living with a negative belief about myself and forgetting that inorder for my partner to be happy, I have to be happy as well and ignoring my wants and needs in this relationship was the last thing I needed to do. Check out my video below on how I discovered the importance of self love while being in a relationship.

(New Video Post) Relinquishing Control in Your Relationship #SelfLoveSaturday

April 11, 2015 by

Happy Self Love Saturday!

Recently I got a message from God, I say this because in one day I ended up having two separate conversations about the same topic. When something like that happens to me, I know it’s not coincidence, it’s a message and I have to take it seriously. The topic at hand was relationships and understanding, accepting and relinquishing control of the person infront of you. It’s sometimes hard to accept the fact that the people we’re in relationships with can change, love is a two way street and with that you have to accept that you cannot control the person infront of you. Acceptance of who they are and who they are becoming or grown to be will help you dealing with any changes happening. But just like everything else in life, our relationships change for a reason and at the end of the day you have to trust in God that he is always guiding you to the places and people that you are supposed to be with.

1. Find Room to Breathe: Take a minute to shut everything off, including your brain. Breathe, close your eyes and be still for as long as you can to clear your head.
2. Exercise: Physical activity of any level will help to relieve any tension and stress and put you in a better mood:

3. Worst Case Scenario: Think about the worst case scenario and then create the solution! Once you have this figured out, it will ease your mind and you will feel prepared for anything.

4. Talk About It: Talk about your problems with a friend, share how you feel and let someone give you their prespective. If you’re really not comfortable sharing then write it out, this is a great help too.
5. Music: Music is an amazing way to lift your mood and relax your mind and body. I put on music for everything and it helps me when I need to gain energy.

(New Video Post) Postive Words = A Positive Life #SelfLoveSaturday

March 21, 2015 by

3ad0a7f28563bd212c1f2503f6ac4619

Happy Self Love Saturday!

Today I want to talk about the importance of using positive words to describe yourself and your life.  I truly believe that when we use negative words to describe ourselves, whether we’re serious or “joking around” we are doing self sabotage. Of lately the concept of self sabotage has been on my mind and why we do it? That’s when I question whether we truly believe that we deserve good things and a good life? Do our words reflect the outcome we think we’re going to have? And if they are negative, why do we feel like this about ourselves? This is why self love is so important and why positive words will equal a positive life. Check out the video below and don’t forget to donate to my kickstarter! Happy Self Love Saturday.

Happy Self Love Saturday!

Today I want to talk about the quote “The darkest hour only has 60 minutes” . I stumbled on this quote on instagram right when I needed it. I had many moments last year of asking “why is all of this ish happening?!” and when I saw this quote I actually got some reassurance because I realize that whatever I am going through, it wil pass and it’s only an hour, or a day, or a month etc. And when I come through it I will have learnt a whole lot more and grown tremendously. That’s the cycle of life, we have to go through rough times in order to come out stronger and wiser but like the saying goes, “even the darkest hour only has 60 minutes”. Check out my video below and I hope this helps anyone going through a rough time.

(New Video Post) #DearMe – Self Love Satuday Edition #SelfLoveSaturday

March 7, 2015 by

Screen Shot 2015-03-06 at 6.25.39 PM

Happy Self Love Saturday!

Today I took part in the #DearMe Campaign that youtube is doing to celebrate international women’s day. They have a great campaign going encouraging women to make videos giving advice to your younger self. I took awhile to think about exactly what I would say to “younger Andrea” and the main thing I wish I could’ve told her is to “love herself”. I wish I knew the power of self love when I was younger and that I invested in loving myself a lot sooner, but like Maya Angelou once told me “everything happens in it’s time”. The advice I touched on in this video is:

1. You Are Enough: Let go of the fear and the notion that you are not enough, because you most absolutely are! You are uniquely created and you are enough.

2. Be An Artist: You art fulfills you and makes you happy so explore it, enjoy it, share it and do it because you are an artist.

3. Be Yourself: You don’t have to fit into anyone’s box. You can do whatever and be whoever you want.

4. Appreciate Your Natural Beauty: God gave you a lot of natural beauty, embrace it and make the very best of it!

5. Listen To Your Intuition: That voice inside of your head, heart and gut is there for a reason, don’t doubt it just listen to it always!

6. Don’t Be Afraid of Confrontation: It is important to have your voice heard, so don’t be afraid to speak up for what you believe, what you think is right, when you’re feeling wronged or simply when you have a better idea!

7. Happiness Comes From Within: There is no outside factor that is going to make you happy if you don’t find the happiness within yourself first.

8. Appreciate The Struggle: I know it might seem hard but appreciate the struggle and the rejection. These times will help you to grow and learn and become better.

9. You Are Great: If only my younger self could know then what I know now, she would know just how great she’s going to be!

Happy Self Love Saturday!

Today I want to talk to you about the importance of good relationships. “Show me your friends and I’ll show you who you are” is the saying I often hear when it comes to choosing friendships. It took me a long time to understand how important it was to have like minded, positive people in my life for my sanity and growth. When you have someone around you who is no longer serving you in a positive way, then it’s time to analyze why they are still around and make some changes to your relationship. Check out the video below on why I think it’s important to anaylze your relationships.
