It’s scientifically proven that being in love is good for us. But what about loving ourselves? We’ve all had days where we’re super down on ourselves, days where we subject ourselves to a harsh inner critic. But how can we be the very best we can be if we don’t love ourselves first? Self-love is essential for our wellbeing, happiness, success and our ability to enjoy the kind of life we want. Below are 10 ways in which you can begin to form a more loving relationship with yourself:
- Stop the negative self-talk
- Remind yourself of all of the amazing qualities you have
- Forgive yourself
- Do things you enjoy
- Accept your flaws/quirks
- Know and use your strengths
- Write down your successes
- Love & take care of your temple
- Give yourself a pat on the back for all of the little everyday accomplishments – you deserve it!
- Practice gratitude
