Episode Transcription

Hi!  I'm so happy you're here.  Welcome to Chai Beauty, where I get to share my thoughts, my dreams, my aspirations, my visions for the future. And guess what?  You get to be along for this journey because we are in this together. 

 

So, we're back.Quality time has been the most rewarding.  time with myself.  I can honestly say my favorite color is pastels. I don't like horror movies or any gory things at all. Sorry, no thank you, do not pass go or collect your 200. I, I enjoy like Wondering, but like, I'm not the type of person, like when you say let's go for a walk, I'm not that.

 

If you say let's go for an adventure, and like we just happen to go to a park and spend like three hours walking around, cool. But if you like say we're going for a walk, I'm probably going to be like, nah. Or like, let's go for a hike. I'll be like, how far is this hike? Is it a mile? Is it two miles? Is it three miles?

 

cause if it's three miles, that means three miles back. That's six miles. No, can do.  But I wouldn't have known these things if I hadn't taken time out. Just like with giving myself gifts and just enjoying life, um, and like serving myself, um, so putting me first in some areas, I could not articulate what I needed to. 

 

And I've had the play of rich, ha, privilege, I couldn't speak, privilege of being able to answer those questions. And realizing what I said Tuesday, I might not feel the same way on Thursday, uh, due to just life experiences, reading.  Other people who respect it and be like, oh, I didn't think like that.

 

That's true. That could happen. Um, and lastly just Enjoying Me I Don't know how many people can honestly say they don't have to be around people just to enjoy themselves just to Say I am in love with myself, because I am quirky, I am kind, I am caring, I am compassionate, I am intelligent, I am teachable, and I am a good friend to others. 

 

And whether I'm being a great friend to others or being a great friend to myself, I love myself. So, my question goes back to, have you given yourself time?  To learn who you are, and what you like, and how you show up for you, in those quiet moments when you're just by yourself, do you love yourself?
