The spontaneous, creativity-loving, self-celebrating, goddess-minded side of you shouts, “There’s no such thing as the wrong time to treat myself!”

The practical, detail-oriented, planner in you interjects, “…But might there be a right time? There’s gotta be some strategy involved here…”

Both sides of you have valid points, and I’m here to provide answers.

Your Superpower is most likely something that you’ve been good at for so long that you’ve lost sight of just how good you’ve gotten, let alone how long it took you to perfect your skill. When your Superpower comes as naturally as walking to you, it’s so easy to shrug it off as no big deal.

Trusting your own judgment and intuition is something that should come so very naturally; and yet it is a muscle that has all but atrophied with every “be nice”, “be quiet”, “be good” that inundated you since you were a little girl.

The reason we don’t love those little superficial parts of ourselves is because we expect them to look a different way; a way that we’ve been told they are “supposed” to look based off of Cosmopolitan covers and Snapchat filters. We assume that if those body parts did look different, we could love them.

While comfort zones are famous for being cozy, there’s not much room for growth inside that small, safe box. And yet you stay, because the pressure to be perfect outside of that box is too overwhelming.
