Set Your August Intention: Self-Love, Compassion & Letting Go
Hello Be You! Community Room,
August is also here!
A fresh month, a new chapter, and the perfect time to set your intention.
This month, let’s root ourselves in self-love, self-compassion, and letting go of summer guilt.
Why This Matters
As busy women, we juggle so much: work, family, friends, and the expectations we place on ourselves. It’s easy to carry guilt for not doing enough, being enough, or making the “perfect” summer memories.
But here’s the truth: You are enough. Right now. Just as you are.
🌸 August Intention: Give Yourself Grace
“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”
~ Buddha
This month, try:
- To forgive yourself for missed plans or unaccomplished goals.
- To let go of guilt for choosing rest over hustle.
- To embrace compassion when your inner critic gets loud.
3 Quick Ways to Practice This Intention
1. Morning Mirror Moment
Each morning, look in the mirror and say:
“I am enough. I am worthy. I choose compassion for myself today.”
2. Release Guilt Ritual
Write down any guilt or “shoulds” you’re carrying. Tear up the page. Let it go.
3. Celebrate Small Wins
At the end of each day, jot down one thing you did well. No win is too small!
Remember Your Power
You are not defined by how much you get done, but by how much you honour yourself along the way. When you choose self-love and compassion, you radiate strength, showing those around you that it’s okay to be gentle with yourself.
“Self-compassion is simply giving the same kindness to ourselves that we would give to others.”
~ Christopher Germer
Let this be the month you love yourself a little more, judge yourself a little less, and let go of the summer guilt that no longer serves you.
You’ve got this!!
Short on time? Just remember: Give yourself the grace you so freely give to others.
August is your month to shine from the inside out!
