Self-love 

‘Self-love is a state of appreciation for oneself that grows from actions that support our physical, psychological and spiritual growth. It means having a high regard for your own well-being and happiness.'

Ways to practice self-love

Become mindful - Get in touch with your inner you. Acknowledge your feelings … what do you think, feel, and want. Act on your own needs rather than on what others want for you.

Know the difference between need and want - Learn to “turn away from something that feels good to what you need to stay strong and move forward in your life.” 

Practice good self-care - You will love yourself more, when you take better care of your basic needs. For example, nutrition, exercise, sleep and intimacy.  

Set boundaries - “Learn to set limits to work, love or activities that deplete you physically, emotionally and spiritually.”

Protect yourself - Bring the right people into your life. Surround yourself with people who are encouraging of your goals. 

Forgive yourself - Practice being less hard on yourself when you make a mistake. We need to them to learn.

Live intentionally – “Live with purpose and design.” Identify what your intention is and make decisions that support this.

What would you write in a love letter to yourself?

Take the time to acknowledge the good in your life and the lessons you have or are learning. Remain content with the idea that every decision you make leads to growth. 

Ask yourself:

What have you done well this year? What do you do well in general? What challenges have you overcome? Why does that make you proud of yourself? Think about what you need to hear right now. What things are you looking forward to in the future? What do you love and appreciate about yourself?
