How to Practice Self-Love

Rey • August 25, 2023

Self-love means that you accept yourself fully and you treat yourself with kindness and respect. Studies have shown when you practice self-love, you are more motivated to take on new challenges. It can also help reduce stress and increase your resilience and self-efficacy. In our blog post, we share tips on how you can practice self-love.


Set boundaries.

It is okay to take some time alone and say no to others sometimes. This does not make you selfish. Self-love can help you place healthy boundaries in relationships where you respect yourself and feel respected by others.


Get to know yourself.

Ask yourself what you love about yourself, what and who makes you happy, and what you think your best qualities are. It may help to write it in a journal or say it out loud to yourself.


Practice self-care.

It is important to look after your physical and mental health. Eat healthy, exercise regularly, and engage in activities that bring you joy. If you are feeling bored in your current routine, you could try a new hobby.


Be kind to yourself.

When you feel yourself starting to think something negative about yourself, think about what you would say to your loved one if they were in your situation. Also, forgive yourself if you make a mistake, you are only human. This can help you be compassionate and kind to yourself.


Protect yourself.

Surround yourself with positive people who you feel safe and supported with. Don’t waste your time on people who put you down. You will love and respect yourself more for it.


Stop comparing yourself to others.

There is only one you and you are unique and important. Focus on yourself and your journey in life. This will help you feel freer.
