Mentor Note:

"Self Love is Not a Luxury, it's the Foundation of Everything. - Sally Polihronas

Lets Dive in...

Hello Reader,

Happy Valentine’s Week! And really, what better time for a little love note to yourself? 💛 While the last week has been filled with flowers, chocolates, and big romantic gestures, let’s not forget the most important kind of love - the one you give to you.

Self-love isn’t just about bubble baths or feel-good moments (though those are great, too). It’s about knowing your worth, honouring what you need, and showing up for yourself the way you do for everyone else. So this week, let’s turn some of that love inward, because you deserve it. ✨

You were not put on this earth to shrink, to play small, to fit in or to prove yourself. You are here to expand, to shine, to own every part of who you are.

Self-love is not about perfect routines, flawless confidence, or always having it together. ( that's all great stuff) It’s about the way you speak to yourself in your hardest moments - the way you choose to honour your heart, even when the world doesn’t.

💛 Self-love is the moment you set a boundary instead of betraying yourself.​
💛 It’s the deep breath you take before answering self-doubt.​
💛 It’s deciding you are worthy - without needing to earn it.

The Takeaway

Self-love isn’t something you earn once you’ve done enough, achieved enough, or become "better." You are already enough. The way you love yourself sets the tone for your life, your work, and your relationships.

How are you loving yourself?

Often, when others annoy us, it's a reflection of something stirring within. Pay attention - it might be pointing you toward an unmet need.

✨If someone’s selfishness frustrates you, maybe it’s time to be less selfless and start asking for what you need and want.

✨If you feel stuck in a mundane routine while others are out living their best lives, maybe it’s your cue to break free and do something exciting.

Self-love is about deep awareness - knowing what you need and honouring it. When you’ve been conditioned to always put others first, your own needs can easily get lost.

So, along with the facials, massages, and beauty rituals, add self-love of the soul to your list. Listen to yourself. Honour yourself. You are worthy of that. 💛

Something to Try

Pause and ask: "How can I show myself love today?" Then do it. Even if it’s uncomfortable, even if it’s messy. Because the way you love yourself sets the standard for everything else in your life.

You are worthy, exactly as you are. Never forget that. 💛

I love hearing from you, Hit Reply and connect.

Until next week,

Much love,

Sally xx

Little Reminders:

Nourish Yourself Nourish yourself like someone you deeply care about. Move, rest, and fuel your body with kindness.

Give Yourself Love Speak to yourself with the same love you give to others. Rewrite the narrative in your mind that says you are not enough.

Express Yourself Stop waiting for perfection. Express yourself fully, without judgment or fear.
