8 Sure fire tactics to move you towards Self Love

I learned a long time ago the wisest thing I can do is be on my own side, be an advocate for myself and others like me.” – Dr. Maya Angelou 

Why do we need self-love?

      ·       We need it to wipe away self-doubt.

·        We need it so we can build our self-esteem

·        We need it so that we can forgive ourselves.

·        We need it so that we can take care of our emotional, mental, and physical demands.

·        We need it so that we are not anyone’s victim.

·        We need it so we can live happily.                                

·        We need it so that we may love others.

·        We need it so that we can control our own destiny.

Self-Love isn't just a state of feeling well. It is a condition of thankfulness for oneself that develops from completing goals that help our physical, mental and emotional development.

Self-love is vibrant; it is created through activities that improve us. At the point when we automatically, without thought, act in behaviors that strengthen our self-discipline and broaden self-love in us.

 With self-love, we start to acknowledge our shortcomings just as we do our qualities, have less need to explain away our weaknesses, have sympathy for ourselves and can forgive ourselves more readily.

Having self-love, we increasingly focus on our life’s motivation and values, create our individual lives and live it through our own strategic endeavors.

Here are 8 ways to help you move forward into loving yourself completely.

   1. Forgive Yourself and Move on from the Past.

Learn from your mistakes so that you do not place yourself in the same predicaments. Accept responsibility for your actions. Apologize to anyone you may have hurt and amend any wrongdoings so that you can accept the guilt and not dwell on it. If someone has hurt you, realize that holding onto the pain will only keep you as a victim, which gives the person control over you even if they are not present. Let it go and move forward. Cut yourself some slack, you did the best you could with the knowledge you had. Start acting in accordance with your morals and values. Replace guilt and regret with gratitude. Doing these things will free up space inside of you to love yourself more completely.

      2.   Talk to yourself positively.

Practice daily affirmations, our thoughts are who we are. Be good to yourself and recite mantras. Journal what you love about yourself, your strengths, and everything you have accomplished; this will help you think of great things to say to yourself. Record yourself and listen to yourself telling you how great you are every morning when you awake.  Talking to your self will enhance your self-love and self-worth.

      3.   Create a self-love ritual.

Play your favorite music while you self-pamper. Add scented candles or essential oil diffuser to the bathroom for a calming atmosphere. My favorite way to do this is to focus on my body with love. When I pamper myself, I take a long soothing bath. In my bath water I add organic products that will nurture my skin. While I soak I think about how great I am and all I have accomplished. When I wash myself, I praise my body parts as I clean them. I thank them for supporting me through my life’s journey. Here is my complete self-love ritual.

 4.   Do Something You're Good at and Create Goals

 

Doing something that you are great at is a perfect way to boost your self-love. Confidence and self-esteem frequently go connected at the hip and taking an interest in a pastime you're great at won't just lift your endorphins, it will draw out the best form of you. If you love to paint, at that point paint! If you love to dance, at that point snatch those dancing shoes, and dance until you fall! Also, a positive action to do is to create goals to add life-changing achievements to your life so that you are steadily moving forward strategically building a successful future for yourself.

5.   Take small steps to build a life you love.

 

Once you have created your goals, move forward into turning those goals into reality. Self-discipline is a large component to making this happen. Goal completion is a large step in the right direction of self-love. By taking small, but sure steps towards accomplishing your goals daily, you will feel more acceptance towards yourself and build self-discipline The feeling of acceptance will remove doubt and add joy to your life, which will allow you to respect yourself and love yourself.

  

6.   Organize your home

 

Organizing and cleaning your home is very therapeutic.  It will permit you to physically make changes positively to your surroundings. Organizing your home will have you mentally focusing on creating something special and better for yourself. Cleaning your home will allow you to purge, to get rid of the old and open your home to new self-enriching environmental change which will emotionally uplift you.

7.   Meditation

Meditation strengthen the mind against negativity. It will help relieve stress, tension, and unhappiness. Just find a favorite place where you can let go of the world around you and focus on life. Focus on you being able to take the next breath that keeps you alive so that you can make your next day better than you last. Find a place that you can go to mentally, whenever you need it. When you meditate daily it will relieve stress, anxiety and tension.  Be mindful of your happy place so that you will be able to meditate wherever you are, whenever you need to.

8.   Surround yourself with positive people.

 

Knowing where you want to be in life is amazing. Surrounding yourself with people that have accomplished that feat or are on the same journey is astounding. Not only will you be able to get advise from them to help your venture to run its course more smoothly but you will have others that are journeying with you and you will be each other’s crutch when the endeavor becomes bumpy. Surrounding yourself with positive people and people that have succeeded in accomplishing their goals will also show you that what you are trying to do can be done and they are the proof.

Doing all or some of the steps above will help you move closer to loving yourself completely. There is no emotion more positive than true love. And you are the best and most worthy person to give it to YOU!!!
