Whether you are single or in a relationship, this blog is a must-read. We often forget that taking care of and truly loving ourselves is the number one key to all healthy relationships. Have you ever heard of the saying, “You need to love yourself before you can truly love someone else?”
I’d like to encourage you to also think about yourself - because, in order to be the best partner you can be, you need to be the best person you can be! In other words, once you love yourself first you will also become a better lover.
So below are some of my suggestions to practice more self-love now!
Self-Love Tip 1 - Do Something You Love At Least Once a Day
If you have a hobby you enjoy like playing guitar or drawing, I encourage you to take the time to indulge in them as much as you can. It can be anything - read a book you love, chat with a friend, watch a funny movie. Make a point to take some time to do anything that makes you happy. This will cultivate more happiness within yourself that will also shine through to others (like your romantic partner)!
Self-Love Tip 2 - Practice Being Silent
Taking a moment of silence can be a wonderful way to love yourself. It can be 10 minutes or even an hour! Whatever your schedule permits, carve out some time for yourself to sit in total silence - no news, Google, Facebook, Pinterest, or cell phones allowed!
Use this time to reflect on yourself and think about what you're grateful for, and you'll be surprised how recharged and rejuvenated you feel after. Practicing silent time can be much harder than it seems, but once you give it a shot I'm sure you'll find it SO rewarding.
I meditate each morning - to me, it's better than a cup of coffee!
Self-Love Tip 3 - Make a Positive Change in Your Life
If there's something you've been meaning to do... it's time to DO IT! If you've been meaning to exercise more, eat better, clean your house, take a class or save more money, start doing it. Just pick one thing and focus on it, because by accomplishing something positive each day - no matter how big or small - you'll consistently raise your vibration to a happier, more joyful place.
Self-Love Tip 4 - Live in the Now (for at least a day!)
Being present can be very difficult. Our minds are often bogged down with what happened yesterday or what we have to do tomorrow. But for just one day, practice being right here, right now. This can be challenging, just like practicing being silent, but again it's so incredibly rewarding!
I wanted to end with a discussion on the “law of attraction.” As we all know, what we put out in the universe is what we will get in return. I am a firm believer that we attract those who have a similar mindset as our own. In other words, if you are a “glass half full” type of thinker, you will surround yourself with those who are more optimistic. I believe the same goes for love and relationships.
If your self-worth and self-love are high, you will feel more deserving of good things in life.This means less self-sabotage and more motivation and focus than ever before. Not only will you be happier but your relationships will be healthy! Plus you will be a better lover and most importantly your partner will be who you want to spend your precious time with!
