The Recovery Warrior Shows

”Pressuring yourself to be happy, ultimately makes you more unhappy in the long run because you're constantly feeling like you're not reaching that expectation. A more realistic intention is working to feel more connected and to create meaning in your life. It's so much easier to do that instead." - Mary Jelkovsky

"Pressuring yourself to be happy, ultimately makes you more unhappy in the long run because you're constantly feeling like you're not reaching that expectation. A more realistic intention is working to feel more connected and to create meaning in your life. It's so much easier to do that instead." - Mary Jelkovsky

When Mary Jelkovsky was deep in an eating disorder, she felt like she had to be that girl who isn't bothered by anything. This lead to her being disconnected from not only her own emotions, but from the emotions of others too. 

In recovery, Mary realized that she's more emotionally sensitive than she thought, and discovered the power in embracing this side of her personality instead of fighting it by presenting herself to the world with a cold, hard, exterior.

Now, Mary is living in recovery and using her inherent sensitivity and empathy to be a leader in the self-love movement. She's written two books, The Gift of Self Love and the newly released 100 Days of Self-Love. Both books are full of actionable activities you can do to improve your self-love and accept yourself exactly as you are.

Let's give a warm welcome to self-love warrior Mary Jelkovsky as she shares her journey of going from struggling with an eating disorder and being disconnected from her emotions - to living in recovery and embracing emotional sensitivity while becoming a leader in the self-love movement.
