29 SIMPLE WAYS TO PRACTICE SELF LOVE EVERYDAY

Although learning to love yourself is a journey you embark on that can usually take a pretty long time, there are in fact lots of simple ways you can practice self love, some of which can be done on a daily basis. 

To get your head in the 'self love zone', imagine yourself as your best friend and someone you really care about. What do you tell your friends when they feel down? What do you do for them just to say 'thanks for being you'. How do you uplift them? How do you show them you're worthy?

Now adopt all of that for yourself. 

Taking care of number one shows the rest of the world how you deserve to be treated. Speaking kind words to yourself and doing wonderful things just for you, is important for a fulfilled and happy life.

I never really realised the importance of self care and self love until this year so I hope these 29 simple ways can help to change your life, how they have done to mine.

1. Adopt a positive morning routine. Mine is mediation, burning incense, having a yummy breakfast and using my favourite shower gel. Make sure your routine makes you feel calm, relaxed and ready to take on the day.

2. Delete your social media apps so that you don't waste time scrolling and/or comparing your life to others. (I do this every few weeks, just for a few days and it really helps)

3. Go for a massage - you can completely submerge yourself in relaxation whilst reliving your body from stress.

4. Smile.

5. Bake something d e l i c i o u s. Cookies, brownies, cupcakes etc. There is no harm with indulging. 

6. Remember to have some alone time. Take yourself out for coffee or have a long hot bubble bath.. or both!

7. Get off your phone an hour or so before you plan on sleeping. Your brain then has enough time to switch off so that you can fall into a sleep much easier.

8. Stop saying 'yes' to everything and everyone.

9. Clean or organise. Go through your wardrobes or sort out your book collection.

10. Light your favourite candle, snuggle under your blanket and watch a good 90s classic film.

11. Cut off toxic people and leave any relationship where you are made to feel like you're not good enough.

12. Go to a gig (live music is the best)

13. Do things you're passionate about - no matter how weird or wonderful.

14. See your friends more. Sometimes, work and other priorities can wait.

15. Express yourself. Dance, draw, paint, make, build. Be a child every once in a while.

16. Write down your qualities and put them next to your bed. Read them every morning (or when you feel like you need to). They can be a little pick me up when you need a reminder of how fucking awesome you are.

17. Make to do lists so that you can brain dump all of your thoughts. Plus, ticking things off is super satisfying.

18. Plan a party or casual get together. I really want to have a 90s kid party with all of my girlfriends. Pass the parcel and pineapple & cheese on a stick, anyone?

19. Compliment someone.

20. Compliment yourself. 

21. Visit an animal shelter or the RSPCA and cuddle or walk some puppies. 

22. Tell yourself 'I am beautiful. I am worthy. I am enough'.

23. Go food shopping. Buy wholesome delicious foods but also buy your favourite sweet treats too!

24. Give yourself a reason to go out and celebrate. Passed an exam? Dumped your fuck boy bf? Anything.

25. Write a list of all the things you're grateful for.

26. Take breaks throughout your day to get fresh air.

27. If you feel stressed, sit in a quiet room for a few minutes, take in some deep breaths and count to ten. Do this as many times as you need. Your health is your wealth - remember that.

28. Read a good book or watch an uplifting TedTalk.

29. Learn to forgive yourself. Forgive yourself for lacking in self love, forgive yourself for failing your exam, forgive yourself for not being a good enough friend, forgive yourself for forgetting how incredible you are.

    1. I deactivated my acct….I lost my gf to FB….she refused to accept my friend request….I found out why. She was flirting with an ex bf…..liking each others posts way too much and leaving comments about let’s go here and there…..disgusting. When I approached her about it, she said I am not interested in you…..yea….I know better….so she broke up with me after I discovered everything. She also flirts with other men she doesn’t even know and are her friends. From Central America?.. I missed her so much and talked with my friend about it,he introduced me to Akim who helped him to get his wife back after a divorce.,, I got to Akim and explained my problems and he did a love spell for me and now my gf is back and we are having a kid in few months.. talk with Akim prayerstosavemarriage@hotmail.com and he'll help you too :)

  5. Thank you for your miracle Doctor Osemu Okpamen

    This article is dedicated to the Doctor Osemu Okpamen. I have been married with my wife for 5 years and recently she broke up with me and it hurt me deeply when she told me to leave her alone and that she does not love me anymore when i was always faithful and honest to her. I tried all the ways to get her back buying her what she wants like i always did and she still left me heart broken and she even has a new boyfriend which destroyed me even more until a friend of mine from high school directed me to this genuine spell Doctor called Osemu Okpamen. This man changed my life completely. I followed everything he told me to do and my wife came back begging for me back. I was stunned everything happened exactly like he told me. I had faith in everything he told me and everything was true. Also he was there every moment until i got my happiness back and he also provides spells that cures impotence, bareness, diseases such as HIV/AID E.T.C You can contact him via email at { Doctorokpamenspelltemple@yahoo.com } or visit his website http://www.doctorokpamenspells.com.

  7. How to Get Your Ex boyfriend Back "I suggest you read this because I’m extremely happy that me and my bf living together again"‎ Am Mary 21yr from England, my boyfriend of a 4yr just broke up with me and am 30 weeks pregnant.I have cried my self to sleep most of the nights and don’t seem to concentrate during lectures sometimes I stay awake almost all night thinking about him and start to cry all over again.Because of this I end up not having energy for my next day’s classes ,my attendance has dropped and am always in uni and on time.Generally he is a very nice guy ,he ended it because he said we were arguing a lot and not getting along.He is right we’ve been arguing during the pregnancy a lot .After the break up I kept ringing him and telling him I will change.I am in love with this guy and he is the best guy I have ever been with.I’m still hurt and in disbelief when he said he didn’t have any romantic feelings towards me anymore that hurt me faster than a lethal syringe.He texts me now and then mainly to check up on how am doing with the pregnancy,he is supportive with it but it’s not fair on me, him texting me as I just want to grieve the pain and not have any stress due to the pregnancy.i was really upset and i needed help, so i searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr Unity can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and i did it then he did a spell for me. 28 hours later, my bf came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my bf are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Unity. If you have any problem contact Dr.Unity now and i guarantee you that he will help you.Email him at: Unityspelltemple@gmail.com ,you can also call him or add him on whats-app: +2348071622464 ,His website: http://unityspelltemple.yolasite.com .

I am so scared what my mates are going to says if there should fined out i have herpes on my private part and due to the virus my girlfriend broke up with me. I have been to the Doctors 9 times to get it treated. They all come back. I have been using Tee Tree Oil and Wartner (You freeze them at home) and they seem to be keeping the smaller herpes small but they can't seem to treat the larger ones. They don't get any bigger, but then they can't shrink as much. They get smaller a little part at a time. At least they are getting smaller! As soon as I see a new herpes appearing, then I treat it. At the moment I have been using Tee Tree twice a week and then using Wartner every 2 weeks. I was wondering if there was any other information about how to get rid of it. I am only a teenager and I hate it most when it get pi-chins me to scratch it, it get sweets when scratching it most times! I want to get rid of it so bad! DR.OBA website has been a huge help and has helped me realize a lot more about me and my family of genital herpes! so that was when i switch for natural remedy to see if there could be any help by herbal remedy, i search and i saw a great posts by Sarah devise adebayo ehijactor and shanttel Merritt on about the great herbal doctor that get them rid of there disease infection. and this great herbal doctor was called DR.OBA so that was when i contacted him for my own treatment and he prepared me some herbs which i takes for some couples of days, and i take it as he says before i am to no me and my family was perfectly cure for it and never experience it again. please friends if you have herpes virus and you really wants to get rid of it, please contact this great DR.OBA for herbal treatment and you will get rid of it.
