I first thought of creating this event because of my own need for self-enrichment... As women, we tend to care for others before ourselves, right? As we get older and start feeling the effects of all that neglect, we suddenly wake up and decide to do something about it. Whether it be losing weight, going back to school, becoming more spiritual, etc... I think we all go through this change or at least we WANT to. In creating this challenge, I wanted to steer clear of new resolutions for 2014 and focus on life-enrichment!
So, I've got weight to lose and I've been neglecting some health issues, plus I want to spend more time developing my relationship with my family and with God. I'm sure I'm not alone here. Anyone care to join me on this Self-Loving journey?Throughout this event, you will be challenged to introspection, targeting your body, mind and soul. Over the course of 12 weeks, you will embark on a journey of self-discovery that will bring you to a higher appreciation of yourself and therefore make you a happier, more loving individual... because when you love yourself, loving others comes naturally!
--->You will challenge your body to a more healthy lifestyle.
--->You will challenge your mind to overcome obstacles.
--->You will challenge your soul to a deeper sense of your purpose in life.
The challenge is divided into four rounds of three weeks; one week for the body, one for the mind and one for the soul, repeating the cycle four times. We will work on a deeper level from one round to the next, where each will build upon the insights of the previous one. You can follow along to your liking, doing as much or as little as you please. Each week of the live event will bring you a blog post filled with resources and food for thought. We also have an open forum section for our event called LOVE YOURSELF Challengeswhere I will post all the information along with a free add-on that will contain materials related to the subject matter and weekly challenge. You are invited to share your challenge-related layouts in our LOVE YOURSELF Gallery! If you are participating in the original launch of this challenge, you are invited to join us for a live chat at the end of each round. If you choose to follow this challenge on your own at a later date, you can still access all the challenge information and related articles, but the freebies and participation prizes will no longer be available.
I’ve teamed up with some amazing TLP designers to bring you new products each week that coordinate with the challenges. You’ll also find other LOVE YOURSELF related products in my shop that may serve as useful tools along your journey. Purchase of these products is optional.
I firmly believe that the core of your being lies within your soul, and that it is by tapping into this aspect of your life that true, lasting changes can occur. Today’s busy lives have us neglecting our souls and focusing on our outer shells (our bodies), when our bodies are in fact the reflection of what lies deep within. It is difficult to address issues of the soul without including some form of belief system, and in the pluralistic society we live in, those beliefs may differ. You may find that my reflexions are tinted by my own religious background, as my relationship with God has molded the essence of who I am.
