How to start experimenting with self-love
Dear Beautiful Soul,
Set aside some time for yourself every day: Whether it's 10 minutes or an hour, carve out some time in your day to do something that brings you joy and makes you feel good. It could be anything from taking a bubble bath to reading a book to going for a walk in nature. The key is to prioritize yourself and your needs.
Practice positive self-talk: Notice when you're speaking negatively to yourself and turn it around. Instead of focusing on your flaws or mistakes, focus on your strengths and accomplishments. Speak to yourself the way you would speak to a dear friend, with kindness and compassion.
Make a list of your non-negotiables: What are the things that are most important to you? What are your values and beliefs? Make a list of your non-negotiables and use them as a guide for making decisions and setting boundaries.
Say "no" when you need to: It's okay to say no to things that don't align with your values or that don't serve you. Saying no is a form of self-care and self-respect.
Practice gratitude: Take some time each day to reflect on what you're grateful for. It could be as simple as being grateful for a warm cup of coffee or a good night's sleep. Cultivating a sense of gratitude helps to shift your focus from what's lacking to what's abundant in your life.
Move your body: Exercise is a great way to show your body some love. Find a form of movement that feels good to you, whether it's yoga, running, dancing, or something else entirely.
Treat yourself: Whether it's buying yourself a small gift or indulging in a favorite food, treat yourself to something that brings you joy. You deserve it.
Love,
Michelle
