I love those shoes! I love that little dog! I adore savasana!
While we might proclaim our love for beautiful heels and cute puppies daily, how often do you say those three little words to yourself?
With Valentine’s Day on the horizon, what better time to embed some self-love into our routines. Learning to love yourself for who you are can take time, but with these daily rituals, you’ll be worshipping the ground you walk on in no time!
- Wake up and write down one good thing about yourself. There will be days when the best thing you can think of is your killer tea-making – it still counts. And by jove you can’t beat a good cuppa.
- “I love and accept you for who you are.” In the mirror, every day. Personally I like to whisper this in the bathroom mirror after a shower so that my partner doesn’t think I’ve gone nuts.
- Give yourself a massage. Seriously! Give your poor old tootsies a rub or grab some moisturiser and do your own facial. Take two minutes and makes you feel a thousand times better.
- Cook a romantic meal for yourself. Look up a recipe you’ve always wanted to make, get the ingredients in and make a big deal of preparing something delicious just for you to enjoy. No guests necessary – this hot date is between you and your peri-peri chicken.
- Write a list of things you find fun and do one a day. No need to go overboard – my list includes writing with a nice pen and wearing comfy clothes. Including just one thing from your list into each day can completely change your mood!
There you have it – five quick fix tips to love yourself more that cost nothing, take barely any time and will transform your outlook on life.
