It's incredible how time moves—another year has passed since I last reflected on my journey of self-love. As I sit down once again, I find myself in a place of even deeper appreciation and understanding for the evolution that self-love brings.
A year ago, I spoke about self-love as a daily practice, one that requires boundaries, patience, and the courage to let go of what no longer serves us. Today, I reaffirm that belief with even greater conviction. The past twelve months have reinforced the reality that self-love is not a destination but an ever-evolving process—one that demands continuous nurturing, especially through life’s inevitable challenges.
Embracing Change and Growth
Over the past year, I have been tested in ways I never anticipated. There have been moments where old wounds resurfaced, where self-doubt crept in, and where the temptation to seek external validation reappeared. But with each challenge came an opportunity—to honor my growth, to recommit to myself, and to reinforce my boundaries.
I’ve come to understand that self-love is not about perfection. It’s about grace. It’s about guiding ourselves back to alignment and recognizing when we fall into old patterns. It’s about celebrating ourselves when we rise and forgiving ourselves when we falter.
The Power of Boundaries and Self-Respect
One of the most powerful lessons I’ve learned this past year is that self-love means choosing yourself unapologetically. It means prioritizing emotional, mental, and physical well-being, even when others may not understand. It means recognizing that boundaries are not selfish; they are essential.
I’ve strengthened my ability to say “no” without guilt and to walk away from situations that compromise my peace. In doing so, I have made room for experiences that align with my highest self and relationships that uplift. Letting go of what does not serve me has allowed me to step further into the life I am meant to live.
Confidence and Self-Worth
If last year was about discovering self-confidence, this year was about embodying it. I have learned to trust myself more deeply—to embrace my unique path, to listen to my intuition, and to stand firm in my choices.
Gratitude has remained a cornerstone of my practice. By focusing on the abundance already present in my life, I have cultivated an even greater sense of fulfillment. I’ve learned that joy isn’t something to be chased—it’s something to be cultivated from within.
A Message to Those on Their Journey
To anyone still navigating the waters of self-love, I want to remind you: the journey is yours and yours alone. There is no right or wrong way to love yourself, no set path, and no timeline. Be kind, be patient, and be willing to evolve.
I hope you continue to build upon the foundation you set. Know that self-love is an ongoing commitment, one that requires intention every single day.
As we enter another National Heart Month, let’s remember that our hearts deserve the same care, compassion, and love that we so freely give to others. May this next year bring even more growth, self-discovery, and unwavering self-love.
With gratitude and love,
​Ajia

February isn’t just about chocolates, roses, and Valentine’s Day—it’s also American Heart Month, a time to focus on your cardiovascular health and the emotional wellbeing that helps your heart thrive. Your heart is at the center of your emotional and physical life, and nurturing it can lead to a happier, healthier you. This month, we’re diving into ways to care for your heart, both emotionally and physically, so you can feel your best from the inside out.
The Emotional Side of Heart Health
Your heart isn’t just a physical organ—it’s also deeply connected to your emotions. Anxiety, loneliness, and stress,  can take a toll on your cardiovascular health, so prioritizing emotional wellness is just as important. Here are some ways to nurture your emotional heart:

1. Laugh More: Laughter truly is medicine for the soul. Read a humorous book, spend time with people who make you laugh or watch a funny movie.
2. Manage Stress: Incorporate stress-reducing practices into your routine, such as deep breathing exercises,  meditation, or yoga. Even five minutes a day can make a difference.
3. Practice Gratitude: Taking a few moments each day to reflect on what you’re thankful for can boost feelings of happiness and reduce stress.
4. Seek Support When Needed: Don’t hesitate to reach out for help if you’re feeling overwhelmed. Talking to a counselor, therapist, or trusted friend can ease emotional burdens.
5. Stay Connected: Build and maintain strong relationships. Whether it’s a phone call to a loved one or meeting a friend for coffee, human connection is vital for emotional wellbeing.

The Physical Side of Heart Health
Your heart works tirelessly to keep you alive, beating around 100,000 times a day to pump blood throughout your body. Taking care of it is essential, and the good news is that consistent, small changes can make a big difference. Here are some tips to boost your physical heart health:

1. Eat Heart-Healthy Foods: Focus on a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats like those found in nuts, seeds, and fish. Reduce salt, sugar, and saturated fats to keep your cholesterol and blood pressure in check.
2. Get Moving: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each week. Activities like walking, dancing, cycling, or swimming can improve circulation and strengthen your heart.
3. Know Your Numbers: Schedule regular check-ups to monitor your blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and cholesterol. Early detection of potential issues can save lives.
4. Prioritize Sleep: Getting 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night supports heart health by lowering stress levels, regulating blood pressure, and reducing the risk of heart disease.
5. Quit Smoking: If you’re a smoker, quitting is one of the best things you can do for your heart. It’s never too late to see benefits from kicking the habit.

A Heartfelt Commitment
This American Heart Month, commit to showing your heart some extra love. Whether it’s reconnecting with a loved one, taking a walk, or trying a new healthy recipe, every small step adds up to a healthier,  stronger, heart. Remember, your emotional and physical health go hand in hand, so take time to care for both.
Let’s make February a month of transformation, where we celebrate progress, and prioritize self-care, and inspire those around us to do the same.
Here’s to a happy, healthy heart—this month and always!
