Learning to love yourself

Isn't it crazy? We hear about loving yourself, but really how many of us can actually say "I Love me"?

Its pretty easy to love someone else, we can love a baby, spouse, friend, child- even the neighbours dog! but we struggle with self. Everything begins from within though so why do we struggle? It may be the mindet of it is self-centred, being full of ourselves, vanity etc. realistically self love is needed, we can't expect someone to love us, if we can't love ourselves right. How we treat ourselves lays the foundation on how others will treat us- catch 22.

No judgement, I have this issue too.

February is the month of "love" now, it doesn't matter if your single, taken or its complicated, this is the month of love. I challenge all of you to do something! ANYTHING that will allow you to feel love for yourself.

Simple Self love techniques:

• Be gentle on yourself - remember your still human.

• Take a long UNINTERRUPTED bath or shower ( let that conditioner actually sit for 2 minutes in your hair.)

• Turn your phone off and read a book or watch a movie ( Facebook will still be there in an hour).

• Go for a walk in nature and take time to enjoy what you see and her.

• Journal.

• Sleep in late.

• Do something you enjoyed as a child (swing, colour, create!)

These are just a few ideas, I'm sure we could write pages on this, but the point here is do something for just you! How will you show yourself love??

YOU DESERVE IT!!
