A little guide to
Self-loveDare to be you and never apologize for it.
Self-love is a state of appreciation for oneself that grows from actions
that support our physical, psychological and spiritual growth. Self-love
means having a high regard for your own well-being and happiness.
Self-love means taking care of your own needs and not sacrificing your
well-being to please others. Self-love means not settling for less than
you deserve.
Self-love can mean something different for each person because we all
have many different ways to take care of ourselves. Figuring out what
self-love looks like for you as an individual is an important part of
your mental health. Ways to practice self-love include:
-
🌸 Becoming mindful:
People who have more self-love tend to know what they think, feel, and want. -
🌸 Taking actions based on need rather than want:
By staying focused on what you need, you turn away from automatic behavior patterns that get you into trouble, keep you stuck in the past, and lessen self-love.
-
🌸 Practicing good self-care:
You will love yourself more when you take better care of your basic needs. People high in self-love nourish themselves daily through healthy activities, like sound nutrition, exercise, proper sleep, intimacy and healthy social interactions.
-
🌸 Making room for healthy habits:
Start truly caring for yourself by mirroring that in what you eat, how you exercise, and what you spend time doing. Do stuff, not to get it done or because you have to, but because you care about you.
Finally, to practice self-love, start by being kind, patient, gentle and compassionate to yourself, the way you would with someone else that you care about.
