Day 8: Self-Love Challenge

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Day 8 of the Self-Love Journaling Challenge!Good GriefWe are so thankful that you are putting YOU at the top of your priority list today!Today, we apply self-love to an emotion that affects all parts of the body-Grief.Research referred to today about grief, how it affects us, and the importance of processing it are from Dr. Cynthia Li's website and her article "Two Simple Ways to Release Grief," located at: https://cynthialimd.com/two-simple-ways-to-release-grief/Learning how to feel, hold gratitude for, and embrace our bodies is such an important part of self-love. Loving ourselves through grief and its effects on our body is an important choice that journaling can help with.Though this is not journal therapy, I do refer to sound research and specifically a doctor's website today who specializes in the grief/body/journaling connection.If you need support in your grieving process, reach out to me, a friend, our joyful journaling community, a family member, a therapist, or even your doctor. You are loved and supported through this process. Don't let grief keep you from embodying the joy you ultimately deserve.Let me help you focus on release today with this pin-point focused prompt.Continue to join us for our two-week self-love challenge right here on the podcast!
