Embrace Self-Love This Holiday Season

As 2024 prepares to take its final bow, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the past year and focus on personal growth. While gift-giving and celebrations take center stage this month, it’s important to find time to reconnect with ourselves. This year, consider giving gifts that encourage self-love.  

Your Inner Babe Connection Journal – $39

Your Inner Babe Connection Journal is an eight-week journey of self-discovery. This product is more than just a journal. It’s a reflective guided practice that encourages you to ground yourself in love, appreciation, and gratitude. The Connection Journal was designed by Jacq Gould, a Self-Connection Specialist who founded Your Inner Babe in 2017.   

Each day begins with a Morning/Check-In, where you put pen to paper to explore your feelings. This section is thoughtfully curated to help you reflect on your emotions and set intentions for the day. By acknowledging your wants and needs, you can begin each day with purpose.

Beginning your day with a Morning Check-In allows you to mindfully begin your day before your daily tasks beckon. This practice puts you in control of your day and allows you to reflect on how you want to show up. The Morning Check-In puts you at the center of your day, encouraging main-character energy.  

As the day ends, the Evening/Wind Down section invites you to reflect on what you appreciated about the day. This practice encourages mindfulness and helps you recognize the positive aspects of your life. You’ll note three things you’re grateful for, ending your day on a note of contentment. Each Evening/Wind Down page has an uplifting quote or snippet of advice to encourage you on your journey.  

The journal concludes each day with three “I AM” affirmations. This section gives you the opportunity to bring together your reflections from the day and consider how they impact your sense of self. “I AM” statements are powerful affirmations, rooted in self-belief and confidence. By integrating affirmations into your daily routine, you can cultivate a positive self-image and build resilience around negative thoughts. 

Your Inner Babe The Re/Connection Deck – $25

Your Inner Babe The Re/Connection Deck is the perfect companion to the Connection Journal. The pack includes 50 cards with affirmations and words that inspire reflection. The back of each card has a butterfly sketched on it, reminding us of the cycle of growth. These cards encourage deeper reflection. They also give you new thought patterns to explore and you complete your Morning/Check-In and Evening Wind Down. While thoughts can enter a predictable pattern, the Reconnection Deck is the perfect way to break routine and explore new paths of thinking and learning.
