5 steps to loving yourself more

How often do you show yourself love?

How often do you take time for yourself?

How often do you prioritise your needs?

Is that even a thing that you do?

The busy-ness of life so often gets in the way of what supports us, what helps us feel good, what helps us feel loved. And the thing is the more often we forget to look after ourselves the harder it is to deal with the busy-ness of life. 

Sound familiar?

It’s safe for you to prioritise your needs.

You are worthy of love.

It’s safe for you to make time for yourself. 

When you show yourself love you are acknowledging your worth. You are recognising your value. You are seeing yourself for all your glorious enoughness.

Taking time to honour your needs helps you feel good. Recognising how good it is to feel nurtured and nourished lifts you up. Allowing yourself to take up space to do things that make you feel happy helps you flourish. 

We can show ourselves love in so many ways but we’re often so tied up with all the things and everyone else’s shizzle that we forget to prioritise ourselves. 

So here are 5 steps to loving yourself more:

1. Look in the mirror and look at yourself with love for the beautiful soul that you are. If this feels hard then try smiling whilst you do it. When you smile you release endorphins; these happy hormones send messages around your body that help you relax and feel happier.
2. Tune in to your inner voice and notice how you speak to yourself. What’s your dialogue like? If it’s leaning towards negativity then your inner critic is at play and you need to quieten it down. Allow your inner coach to start giving you some loving and speak to yourself positively. Be your own biggest cheerleader. 
3. Drink plenty of water and get enough sleep. It’s so easy to fall into that box set and end up in bed later than you planned. And to drink countless cups of tea or coffee because you’re at home more and it’s all just so accessible. Gift yourself a great start to the day by drinking 2 glasses of water before you crack on with your day. If you get a couple of glasses done early then it’s so much easier to drink what you need to feel good. Instead of curling up with that box set head to bed earlier and let yourself unwind with a book before drifting off. 
4. Practice affirmations. They don’t have to be complicated, they just have to make you feel good about yourself. Affirmations are positive statements you say to yourself to overcome negative thoughts. Say them out loud, write them down, whatever works for you. 
5. Do things you love. I know it sounds simple but remember to do what puts a smile on your face. When we do things that make us feel happy we feel happier with ourselves. When we are happier we view ourselves more kindly and show ourselves more love.
