How to practice self love

“Self-love, self-respect, and self-worth: There’s a reason they all start with ‘self.’ You can’t find them in anyone else.”

Take care of yourself.
Don’t add your criticism or nasty comments to the growing list of them in the globe. Don’t be cruel to yourself; instead, be good to yourself. Gratify yourself. You’ve developed a lot and come a long way. Remember to celebrate yourself throughout the year, not just on your birthday!

Seize any chance that comes your way or make your own.
There will never be a perfect time to take your next life-altering step. Even though the circumstances may not be ideal, you shouldn’t let that stop you from accomplishing your goals and aspirations. Instead, take advantage of the time because it might not come again.

Do not hesitate to let go of toxic people.
Not everyone accepts accountability for the force they release into the universe. You may need to distance yourself from someone if they refuse to accept responsibility for the toxicity they are bringing into your life. Do this without fear. Despite the fact that it could hurt, it’s important and liberating.

Protect your energy, always. Removing yourself from situations or the company of individuals who are exhausting you is neither impolite nor wrong.

prioritize yourself
Do this without feeling guilty. Women in particular can get used to putting other people before themselves. There are times and places for this, but it shouldn’t become a habit that compromises your mental or emotional health.

Make time to relax. You can seriously tire yourself if you don’t relax and recharge. Find what helps you unwind, whether it’s spending the day in bed or outside in nature, and set aside time for it.

Avoid comparing with others.
Comparing yourself to others comes naturally to us since we are taught to be competitive. However, it might be harmful. Since there is just one of you, there is simply no purpose in comparing yourself to anyone else on the earth. Instead, concentrate on you and your experience. Your sense of freedom will be aided by the energy change alone.

Consult your guiding system for assistance.
Consider that you are being led by your feelings. Feeling good about yourself indicates that your thoughts are in line with how your soul or higher self perceives you. When you feel horrible about yourself, that is a warning sign that your perspective has to be altered.

How does it feel to have a notion like, “I am [something you don’t like about yourself],” for example? Probably not the best, then. Then it’s a clue to contemplate something else. Try substituting something more compassionate. You may substitute “I’m doing the best I can to go forward” for “I’m simply so lost and confused,” for instance.

Make friends with those who make you feel wonderful.
Oh, this is significant! “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with,” is a famous saying attributed to Jim Rohn. Consider who those individuals are right now. Do they motivate you, make you feel good, and want the best for you?

The mere fact that you have been friends does not require you to continue hanging out together. You can still be close to someone even if you’re taking a vacation from them. Choose carefully who you spend time with; in the name of mercy, don’t give it away. (That’s rude toward both you and the other person.) If you are there because you want to, then you should be.

Consider your anxieties
Fear is a normal and human emotion, just like making mistakes. Recognize your fears rather than reject them. Your mental health will greatly benefit from this beneficial practice. You might get insight and uncover life issues that were causing you to worry by questioning and analyzing your anxieties. That in turn may lessen some of your tension, if not all of it.

Have faith in your ability to decide well for yourself.
Even if most of the time we do know in our hearts what is best, we frequently doubt ourselves and our capacity to act morally. Keep in mind that your emotions are real. You are not becoming detached from reality. Be your best ally since you are the only one who truly understands you.

Takeaway
Even if you don’t feel particularly powerful, consider your progress and resilience. You are alive and incredibly strong right now, where you are. Also, practice self-compassion. Self-love might not come easily. But it will eventually get ingrained in your heart.

Yes, you could suffer, but when you look back on these times, you’ll realize that they served as stepping stones on your path to becoming the best version of yourself.
