It’s that time of year again when all of the roses,
chocolates, and candies come out to celebrate love on Valentine’s Day. Whether
you live vicariously through America’s notorious rom-coms or enjoy dinner out
with a loved one, we want you to remember that it’s not just about showing love
and affection to others. Self-love is important to your journey on this
crazy ride we call life and not just on the 14th, but always.
I know, I know… this doesn’t sound fitness related right? Well…
At Girl Fight Fitness, we believe that a woman’s fitness journey includes
overall health, mentally and physically. We all experience challenges in life
that can result in neglecting ourselves. However, self-love can help us cope
better with challenging days and keep healthy habits in place. Melanie

Self-Love is about simply being kind to yourself, reminding
yourself what you excel at, and making time for you. As a way to help through
the hard and good times alike, we put together a list of activity-based
self-love that may help you cultivate your relationship with YOU:
- Exercise
- Read
- Sing
- Dance
- Meditate
- Creating Art
- Journaling/Drawing
- Cook/Bake Healthy Recipes
While we certainly wish that “Netflix & Chill” could be
on this list, make sure to do something active for your mind AND body often.
You are your own powerhouse…so make sure to take care of yourself to sustain
all aspects of life, both required and desired.
