Things You Can Do to Love Yourself More
(Self love isn’t an end game. It’s a process and here are some of the power moves.)
When I decided to go on the journey towards learning to love myself, I thought that it was like some eventual goal that I would reach. I thought that I would wake up one day and just feel good about myself. Though those days do exist for me now, it’s only because I stopped looking at it as a thing I would achieve and instead as a choice I make daily, not in the future, but in the now.
Self love is something that we do. It’s a verb. It’s the decisions and actions that we take in any given moment to affirm the best, the better at least, in us. To love the self means protecting our peace and the things we personally value. This article lists the activities that we can choose to affirm our higher selves. As I always say, it’s not about getting it perfect. It’s just about doing the best we can, and when we fall off the self love horse, we dust ourselves off and jump right back on.
Self love is:
Speaking kindly to ourselves in the midst of chaos and mistakes, the same way we would a loved one
Forgiving ourselves for our mistakes and embarrassments because we recognize that we are just as human as everyone else
