Self-love has become a trend lately, as more people are realizing it’s importance. I wrote in my journal six ways that I was going to start showing myself more self-love that I am sharing with you below. However, it’s up to you to create ways that work for you.
1. Listen to Yourself: Follow your gut! If in doubt, don’t do it! It’ll save you overthinking later. On the flip side, do what feels good!
2. Stop Negative Self-Talk: If you have nothing positive or productive to say about yourself, shut it! Encourage yourself. Be your own biggest cheerleader!
3. Reward Yourself: You work hard so make sure you take some time to reward all your hard work. You deserve it!
4. Schedule “Me” Time: Be selfish. Put yourself first. Take care of yourself mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually – whatever that may look like to you.
5. Forgive Yourself: You are human. You will make mistakes. Show yourself some forgiveness, like you do to everyone else!
6. Unplug: Spend some time away from the TV and your phone. just be. Read a book. Go for a walk. Write in your journal. It’s OK to disconnect from the outside world for awhile. The world will not fall apart.
