Romance Yourself: Best Practices for more Self-Love and Appreciation

Boldly Magnificent by Anne-Sophie Reinhardt

Valentine’s Day has come and gone. You may have had a Valentine or – like me – you may have spent it solo, again.

Whatever your relationship status, this episode is for you. Why? Because romancing yourself is always a good idea.

Here’s what I talk about in this episode of Boldly Magnificent:

📚 I talk about keeping a gratitude journal and writing down things you love about yourself. Imagine having a little book of all the reasons why you’re amazing—talk about an instant mood-booster!

💃 Who says you need a partner to dance? I recommend turning up the music and getting your groove on! It’s all about feeling good and letting loose. Who can resist a feel-good playlist and some fun dance moves?

💌 Another romance tip? Writing love letters to yourself! How cute is that? I encourage you to celebrate and enjoy life right here, right now, and who better to shower with affection than yourself?

🌿 Nature, self-dates, passion projects—I spill the tea on these self-romancing practices! It’s all about nurturing your soul and enjoying your own company.

🎨 As always, I get personal, sharing my love for drawing. It’s all about appreciating and celebrating your unique journey! I also share candid updates on my life, from spontaneous trips to New York City to the process of applying for a US visa.

So, even amidst our busy schedules and commitments, let’s remember to embrace self-care, love, and intentional attention, making ample time for ourselves. How do you romance yourself? Share your own practices for even more inspiration!

Until next time, be bold, be magnificent and love yourself as much as you humanly can.
