Lovi Poe talks about personal growth and how she sees life now as a mom
Kapamilya actress Lovi Poe got candid about how her perspective on life has changed, especially now that she has embraced motherhood.
During the launch of her The Art of You makeup brush collection, Lovi shared her thoughts on personal growth and how evolving also means learning to appreciate the things one has already accomplished.
“Honestly, evolving is such a good thing because I think the only constant thing in this world is change. And when you say you’re evolving, we hopefully always change for the better and take a step further,” Lovi said.
Beyond setting new goals and looking forward to what’s next, the actress also emphasized the importance of taking a moment to recognize how far one has come.
“It’s so important to try and take a step further to our goals, to reach our goals. But also, one thing that’s important for me, one thing that I’ve realized is that it’s also very important to take a step back and look at the things that you’ve done in life,” Lovi added.
Lovi admitted that she sometimes gets caught up in life’s fast pace, always thinking about her next plans and responsibilities.
“One of the things that I realized is that sometimes life can be so fast-paced and I’m on to the next like I just gave birth, but you know what, in six months I’m ready and this is who I am, this is how I am. I literally said this because I’m supposed to do a teleserye here and I was like, I’ll be ready in six months. And, yes, I’m glad I was ready because I shot the movie when I was four months postpartum.”
However, Lovi realized to pause and reflect about her life: “We should take a step back and look at the things that we’ve accomplished and be happy with that too. Because, you know, when you give yourself some time to rest and recover, you will have more time to blossom and evolve. Because you’ve given yourself some time to appreciate and given your soul some time to nourish, you know, to nourish your soul.”
“Evolving is great, but also taking a step back and appreciating what you’ve done is also very important,” she continued.
The actress also opened up about how becoming a mother has given her a different outlook on life. With her daughter turned one this year, Lovi said the experience has taught her more than she could have imagined.
“The meaning of my life now has completely changed from before. My daughter just turned 1 on 1st of October and it’s like she’s taught me more than I can ever imagine. Like I’ve been in this world for so many years, but then suddenly in this whole year, she’s taught me so much more than I’ve ever learned in the past. It’s like suddenly the meaning is so different. The art of me has been like completely… I think the best way to put it,” she expressed.
For Lovi, welcoming her daughter with husband Monty Blencowe has made her life even more colorful, with motherhood bringing new experiences and emotions that have added to her personal journey.
“I always thought I had so much color in my life because it’s been beautiful. And, you know, there’s so many shades of colors. Like so many black and whites, so many nice rainbow colors. But then now it’s just so vivid and shiny. And also, through that canvas that I have right now, there’s so much smudges because of tears of joy, tears of pain, tears of loneliness. So many things. And I think that’s the best way to explain the art of me right now,” she expressed.
