❤Self Love❤
Self-love is truly one of the most difficult things somebody can achieve, but it’s also the most crucial. I spent the majority of my life really disliking who I was -- both physically and mentally -- but when I began making an effort to shower myself with the same love and care I did for others, I saw a massive change in my perception. Self-love is definitely a journey, and I, by no means have made it to the destination. However, here are some things that have helped get me closer.
The number one thing that allowed me to gain a higher sense of self-love was finding something that made me passionate. Girlhood honestly helped a lot with this, but this can also include things like volunteering somewhere, finding a new hobby (like writing, art, etc.), or starting a small business! In my opinion; passion is one of many manifestations of love in a physical form. Being excited to create something, make a change, complete a project, etc. can not only have a positive effect on others but also on your sense of worth and self-love too!
Some other things to boost your sense of self-love:
❤ Workout or exercise — This helps release dopamine!
❤ Discover music that embodies you — I love listening to Frank Ocean or Kendrick Lamar
❤ Listen to self-love podcasts — Claim Your Power by Kim Peretz
❤ Spend 30 minutes outside every day
❤ Read — We have a separate blog for our favorite books
❤ Journal/Write
❤ Go to coffee shops — Take yourself on “dates”
❤ Cooking myself nice meals
❤ Writing down things I’m grateful for every single morning — Both about myself and about my life!
Just remember:
You are worthy no matter what. How you view yourself/your level of self-love should not be dependent on other people’s perception of you, your achievements/what you do, or any other factors. You are a human! that in itself is so beyond loveable and worthy. you have infinite potential, and if you forget that sometimes, don’t beat yourself up over it. like i said, self-love is a journey that all of us girls continue to trek every single day. You are not alone :)
