10 Tips to Practice Self-Love!

Self-Love is SO important. Have you ever heard the saying, "You can't pour from an empty cup"? This quote is simply saying that you can't give if you don't have. If you are not full of love, compassion, energy, and optimism, how do you expect to give those things to others? If you want to be your best possible self for those around you, you need to first check in and make sure that you have enough to give. We generated our top 10 tips for your journey to Self-Love. Self Love Tip #1 Begin your day with love (not technology). Remind yourself of your worthiness before getting out of bed. Breathe in love and breathe out love. You deserve and receive massive amounts of love every day. Self Love Tip #2 Spend 5 minutes journaling this morning. Reflection time and journaling is so important! Taking the time to write down your thoughts and feelings helps you understand them more clearly! Start with writing down 10 things that you love about yourself and then keep going! Self Love Tip #3 Be patient with yourself; you are doing the best you can! Let go of urgency and fear. Relax and transform striving into thriving. Trust in yourself, do good work, and you will see results. You are strong, talented, and hardworking. Self Love Tip #4 Take the time to appreciate yourself and everything around you! Live in appreciation. Train your mind to be grateful. Appreciate your talents, beauty, and brilliance. Love your imperfectly perfect self. When you are constantly living in a state of gratitude, your outlook on work, people, problems, basically everything becomes more positive! Self Love Tip #5 Today, spend some time to yourself or with family or friends! It is so easy to get bogged down with all of our daily tasks and to-do’s and ignore ourselves or those closest to us. Take some “me” time today. Self Love Tip #6 Protect your “yeses”! When we over commit ourselves, we are not showing up as our best selves! Slow down, give yourself time to think before committing to something, honor your truth, stand up for yourself! Protecting your yeses means you are protecting you! Self Love Tip #7 Stop comparing yourself to others! Social media amplify's the comparison game and it's easy to feel "less than" when you are only seeing what others want you to see. Today, take some of that negativity out of your life and unfollow any accounts that make you feel "less than" and revel in how awesome you are today #bloomgirl! Self Love Tip #8 Accept who you are and revel in it! You are amazing. Take the time to acknowledge that. Self Love Tip #9 Your body hears everything your mind says. Talk positively to yourself. Self Love Tip #10 "In order to love who you are, you cannot hate the experiences that shaped you." Today, say "thank you" to a "negative" experience that changed you for the better. We hope you enjoyed these tips and that you can start putting them into action today. Love yourself and those around you! xoxo, the bloom team
