Gem of the Day: Give Yourself Your Flowers
I don't know who needs to hear this, but you deserve your flowers sis! Whether others are giving them to you or not, I hope you are giving them to yourself.
We are too early in the year for you to start discrediting yourself. I want you to take 5 - 10 minutes out of your day to do the following:
Write down 2 - 5 things you love about yourself. It can be big or small things. Example: I love that I cheer for myself and others. I love my sense of humor.
Write down 2 - 5 things you have accomplished so far this year or that you are proud of. Again, it can be big or small things. Example: I submitted a promotion proposal to my job. I co-hosted an amazing Galentine Getaway.
Write down 2 - 5 ways you plan to celebrate yourself or intentionally treat yourself well within the next 30 days. Example: I will indulged in self care with my All Black Love Box from Love Goods Co. last week. I will pour into myself at Significant Impact's Women's Wellness Weekend this week.
I really want you to take the time to do this today. You deserve!
Now, if you're stuck on the 2nd task above, I really want you to understand that both the small and big wins are worthy of celebration. Don't feel like you have to have it all together and then you'll start celebrating because that's not it sis. One of my small wins last week was putting away 1 basket of laundry. Although there was a second basket I didn't get to, putting away the 1 was a win for me truly. For clarity, celebrating small wins is not the same as celebrating mediocrity. Yes, we should push ourselves, but we should also celebrate all the steps on the journey. When we don't, we could find ourselves in a constant state of dissatisfaction. So my charge for you today is to give yourself your flowers sis! Again, you deserve!
In the spirit of giving flowers and in honor of Women's History month next month, I'm creating a space to celebrate you! I’m excited to host the 3rd Annual Women Celebrating Women virtual event. It’s my way of shining a light on glow getters. I want you to share your wins and for us to show love to the women who inspire us. The event is one uplifting celebration circle, and to date I’ve spotlighted over 40 women, who have in turned spotlighted other women. When you get women together, beautiful things really do happen. That's why I had to bring this celebration back.
Join me on Sunday, March 26th at 7pm on Instagram Live for this celebration circle unlike any other. Here’s how it will work:
Tune in on Instagram Live (@shalycetyson).
I will feature up to 20 women in 5 minute increments each.
Each woman will be able to celebrate themselves and shine a light on other women. Hence, why I’ve tagged this event as a celebration circle.
Everyone participating and tuning in will leave with their cups full!

While I would love to feature everyone who submits, due to timing, I will unfortunately be unable to. If you are selected to participate, you will be notified no later than March 15th.
