Hii!! I'm Lily. I am a junior in high school and the founder of lovegrows.

Growing up, I was always an anxious kid, and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) changed my life. 

LoveGrows is a project that holds a special place in my heart, as it combines all my passions: design, awareness, and advocacy.

Through DBT-inspired designs and positive affirmations, self-love, and mindfulness, my goal is to encourage others to embrace themselves and extend kindness beyond their own lives. Grow your love! ♡

What is DBT? 

DBT is “dialectical” because it works by simultaneously addressing two things that might seem contradictory: acceptance of feelings (mindfulness) and learning to use coping strategies to change unhelpful feelings and thought patterns (CBT). 

For example

“‘I’m doing the best I can’ on the one hand, and ‘I need to do better,’” 

The core principles of DBT include :

mindfulness skills, such as being present, accepting, and non-judgmental in the moment, as well as understanding the signs of unregulated emotions

emotion regulation skills: Coping with difficult situations by building pleasant, self-soothing experiences to protect from emotional extremes

interpersonal effectiveness skills: learning how to interact more effectively with other people and enable them to feel more supported by others. 

distress tolerance skills: “It’s being able to recognize urges to do things that would be ineffective. These skills are crisis-survival tools for the most challenging moments. Walking-the-middle-path skill: learning how to validate others, how to compromise and negotiate, and how to see the other person’s side of things.♡

with love,

Lily

    As a Neurological Nurse Practitioner, I care for many patients with neurological diseases and chronic illnesses. I can talk to my patients all day long about the importance of healthy lifestyle and cardiovascular changes that help improve the severity of their symptoms, but that’s not the only piece of the puzzle. My patients know that I will always champion that mental health is just as important as our physical health. When we have severe anxiety it can sometimes cause physical manifestation of symptoms just like headaches and migraines, among other discomforts. The reason I love this incredible brand is not only because of its incredibly cute, aesthetic, and cozy hoodies and clever stickers. Lovegrows’ positive message of reshaping our mindset to accomplish our fears or just to have a normal outlook on life one day at a time is something we should always think about….but it doesn’t hurt looking cute while doing it at the same time :)

    I love this brand, not just because of the hoodie quality or the colors, but because of the message and intention behind it. I can easily buy another expensive hoodie, but this one makes me feel like I am giving back
