Welcome to the Soul Renovation Podcast! I am Add-a-line Atlas, the author of the School of Soul Series, a six-time published author. Today, I want to talk about a refreshing perspective I recently came across: 'Go be your favorite self.' Let’s explore what this means and how it can transform the way we think about self-growth and self-love.

Be Your Favorite Self

I saw somewhere earlier, ‘Go be your favorite self not your best self.’”

Isn’t that an interesting idea? We are so accustomed to phrases like “be your best self” or “reach your highest self.” And while those intentions are wonderful, they can sometimes feel like a lot of pressure. But “favorite”—now, that leaves room for grace, for flexibility, and for being who you are in the moment.

What does it mean to be your favorite self?

Instead of striving for some ideal version of who you think you should be, it invites you to embrace the version of yourself that you genuinely like right now, in this moment. It’s about finding joy in the qualities, quirks, and characteristics that make you feel most alive, most aligned, and most authentic—without the constant push toward perfection.

When we talk about being our "higher" or "best" selves, we often think of it as a destination, a place we need to reach. And while aiming high has its place, there’s something liberating about just allowing ourselves to be our "favorite" selves—today, right now, without judgment.

Think about it: What is your favorite version of yourself? Is it the version that laughs the loudest at a joke? The one that feels peace during a morning walk? The version that gets lost in a book or loves unconditionally? Your favorite self is not static; it can change day by day, even moment by moment.

And that’s the beauty of it—it’s about grace. Allowing yourself the space to love who you are in every phase, every state, without the pressure to be more, do more, or achieve more. Just embracing who you are right now and finding your favorite version of you in that moment.

Imagine how your life could change if you woke up each day and asked, “How can I be my favorite self today?” It’s a question that shifts the focus from achieving to simply being. It’s a question that makes room for self-love, compassion, and authenticity.

So, today, I invite you to take a moment and consider: Who is your favorite self? How can you bring that version of you forward, honor it, and let it shine? Allow yourself to change, to evolve, but always with the grace to be your favorite version of yourself in the here and now.

After all, life isn’t about always being your highest or best—it’s about being true to who you are, loving that version, and letting it be enough.
