So there's really nothing better than being truly admired, respected, cared for, and appreciated. But there is a big secret that you may or may not know when it comes to love. The secret is, we are the only ones that can truly make ourselves feel that way. We can't rely on one single person to make us feel fulfilled. That love has to come from within us. And when you lack love for yourself, you truly devalue your life and your life purpose and the reason you're here on this planet. So here are five practical tips to give yourself a big dose of self-love every day. Number one, morning positivity. Start each day by telling yourself something positive. It can be anything that can make you smile or something that you're grateful for. For example, I'm grateful for this great breakfast I had. I'm grateful for my body. I'm grateful for my life. Things like that. If you tell yourself something positive like that, it will set the tone for the day and start it on a happy and positive note. Number two, turn off and inwards. Grab your favorite cup of tea, coffee, whatever your favorite drink is. Snuggle up on a couch in a blanket and turn off all phones, TVs, all distractions and just take some time to be alone with yourself. No social media, no distractions, just you. This is a great time to get in touch with your inner dialogue. If it's anything less than encouraging and supportive for yourself, then it's time to make a change. You deserve to be spoken to in the same way you would speak to your best friend or someone important you care about. Number three, end toxic relationships. Anyone that makes you feel less than amazing should not be a part of your life. Try to surround yourself with people love, encourage and support you. This will help you on your own self-love and self-worth journey as well. Number four, keep your space tidy. Cleaning is way more therapeutic than you may think. It allows you to get rid of any old things and allow new things to come into your life. Cleansing your mind can sometimes work in the form of getting rid of old clothes, shoes, jewelry, things because if they connect to something in your past, they can be linked to a negative vibration. So getting rid of them can open you up for more new things. Number five, stay healthy, feel good. Treating your body like a loving vessel will not only boost yourself love but also your energy. Be intentional about what you put into your body and not because you want to look good but because you want to feel good and feel healthy. Also, make sure to try to move your body every day, whether it's through rigorous exercise like cardio, running or yoga, pilates or even one-minute exercises every day. Make sure to keep your body moving so that you could stay healthy and show yourself some love.
