Valentine’s Day is approaching, and most of us begin thinking about love for others. But it’s worth working towards developing a similar kind of love for oneself too. Practicing self-love aids in developing confidence, mental wellness, and developing a healthy relation with oneself and with others.
Here are a few tips for developing a practice of self-love:
Set a Relaxation Habit
Allocate a little time towards developing a routine for your week, and then follow it consistently. Suggestions I can make is taking a relaxing bath with aromatic oils, guided meditation, or reading your favorite book in a cozy corner. Do try and remember that the intention must be to shed any kind of distraction that could surround you and getting yourself in a state of calm and peace.
Choose an exercise that you really enjoy
Love exercising, whether yoga, dancing, hiking. Physical exercise releases endorphins, they are natural hormones that have the power to reduce stress, ease pain, elevate mood, and promote overall wellbeing.
Surround Yourself with positive people
Spent your time with positive people. Having positive family and friends surrounding yourself can boost your confidence and motivate you in life.
Nourish Your Body
Healthy food is a form of self-pampering too. Do try and make a healthy tasty meal, or at least try having a measured portion of your favorite dessert. As you go about your daily routine, try and pay a little attention towards listening to your body and providing it with healthy food.
Quit Smoking
Quitting smoking and nicotine can be a significant act of self-love. If you are not considering to quit now, opting for alternatives like smoke-free devices such as e-cigarettes or IQOS, can lead to an improved lifestyle.
Conclusion
Valentine’s Day is a great chance for a little self-love and a path towards a better lifestyle. Remember, first comes yourself, then everyone else. Enjoy your individuality, care for your body, and celebrate positive changes in your life.
