Somewhere along the way, we were taught that our value lies in what we accomplish. A tidy house. A full calendar. Kids who behave. Work that impresses. And while those things may bring a sense of satisfaction, they are not the measure of your worth.
The Self pillar of the Love My Life framework is about unlearning that hustle-driven identity and remembering this truth: you are valuable not because of what you do, but because of who you are.
This post is your invitation to step off the hamster wheel of constant productivity and root yourself in the quiet, unshakable truth that you are already enough.
Why the Self Pillar Matters
As women, especially mothers, our culture often conditions us to equate busyness with worthiness. But when we live at the pace of exhaustion, we rob ourselves — and our families — of our best.
When you prioritize being over doing, you:
-
Reconnect with your authentic self
-
Model healthy rhythms for your family
-
Restore your energy for what truly matters
-
Experience joy that isn’t tied to performance
The Self Pillar reminds us: your value isn’t in your productivity. It’s in your presence.
5 Practices to Recenter Your Worth
These small shifts can help you ground yourself in identity rather than output.
1. Start With Stillness
Take five minutes in the morning to breathe, pray, or journal before diving into your day. Let stillness remind you that your worth is not measured by your to-do list.
2. Redefine Success
Write down a new definition of success not about tasks, but about alignment. Maybe success is:
-
“I was patient with my kids today.”
-
“I chose rest when I was tired.”
-
“I spoke kindly to myself.”
3. Release Comparison
Stop measuring your life against someone else’s highlight reel. Your journey is yours sacred and unique. Replace comparison with gratitude for what is.
4. Care For Your Body With Love
Nourish yourself not out of punishment, but as an act of kindness. Move your body in ways you enjoy. Feed it with foods that give you energy. Rest when you’re tired.
5. Speak Truth Over Yourself
Combat the lies of “not enough” with affirmations like:
-
“I am worthy apart from my productivity.”
-
“My value is not up for debate.”
-
“I can slow down and still be whole.”
Using the Planner for Self-Care
The Love My Life Planner is more than a calendar. It’s a tool for anchoring yourself in truth. Use it to:
-
Write affirmations and reminders of worth
-
Track self-care rhythms (hydration, rest, journaling)
-
Reflect on where you feel most alive
-
Create space for gratitude and reflection
Your planner becomes a mirror — reflecting back who you are beyond what you do.
This Week’s Self Challenge
Try one practice each day:
-
Begin your morning with stillness (journal, prayer, or breathwork)
-
Write one affirmation of worth in your planner
-
Replace one comparison with gratitude
-
Choose one nourishing act for your body
-
End the week by redefining what success means to you
Final Thoughts From Jeneane
You don’t have to hustle for your worth. You don’t have to prove or perform to be loved.
The Self Pillar of Love My Life is your reminder that success is not about doing more — it’s about living aligned with love, peace, and purpose.
So, take a deep breath. Slow down. Let yourself be. Because who you are, right here and right now, is already enough.
With love,
