Freedom Friday

Coach Tavia



Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one.”

– Eleanor Roosevelt


How does the quote above resonate with you?


Pause: Take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...


What do you hear Eleanor Roosevelt saying? ...Think about that for a moment...


Love yourself! It’s your right and a must.


Self-love... what are your thoughts?


self-love | noun regard for one's own well-being and happiness (chiefly considered as a desirable rather than a narcissistic characteristic).


Self-love means having a high regard for your own well-being and happiness. Self-love means taking care of your own needs and not sacrificing your well-being to please others. Self-love means not settling for less than you deserve.


What does self-love look like to you?

...Hhhhmmm...something one may not have put much thought into...


Here are some examples of self-love in action: (by, Sharon Martin, LCSW)


  • Saying positive things to yourself

  • Forgiving yourself when you mess up

  • Meeting your own needs

  • Being assertive

  • Not letting others take advantage of or abuse you

  • Prioritizing your health and well-being

  • Spending time around people who support you and build you up (and avoiding people who don’t)

  • Asking for help

  • Letting go of grudges or anger that holds you back

  • Recognizing your strengths

  • Valuing your feelings

  • Making healthy choices most of the time

  • Living in accordance with your values

  • Pursuing your interests and goals

  • Challenging yourself

  • Holding yourself accountable

  • Giving yourself healthy treats

  • Accepting your imperfections

  • Setting realistic expectations

  • Noticing your progress and effort


What do you love most about yourself?

...think about it... spend some time here until you can articulate an answer...


Today’s Challenge: Discuss self-love...

Have the conversation with at least 3 people... ask them:

  • What does self love mean to you?

  • What do you love most about yourself?

  • How do you unconditionally love those closest to you?

  • What do you do to make yourself feel better?

It’s Friday, have fun as you connect, learn and grow!


How will you express self-love today?


Be intentional and watch what happens... Encourage others to do the same.


You got this!
