Insecurity can lead to feeling that we're in competition with others, like there's a finite supply of love and acceptance to go around. Learning how to give ourselves this love and acceptance uncouples our self-worth from externals, allowing us to enjoy connection with others without the need to compare and compete.

Using a dry erase marker, write on a mirror that you use daily, choosing from the following affirmations (or create one of your own). You can add hearts and other symbols if you like!
My worth is an unshakeable fact.
Today, I feel loved for who I am.
I see myself through the eyes of love.
Today, I learn to love
myself in new ways.
Every day, spend a few moments in the mirror, basking in these loving words and allowing their energy to ignite your inner stores of love and acceptance. When done, clean the mirror with a soft cloth. Bonus: Carry peach moonstone or girasol to help soothe competitive feelings.
