How To Practice Self Love

Wondering how to practice self love? Self love is more than just changing your hair, getting a new wardrobe, or attempting to redefine yourself. Self love is obtaining an appreciation for yourself that stems from the physical, emotional, and spiritual support you provide yourself. It's not a fixed state, but it grows through actions that lead to maturity over time. Self care encompasses four different parts– self awareness, self worth, self esteem, and self care. Establishing self love can be a long journey, so here are a few tips on how to love yourself and practice self love.

Self love is more important than finding a partner. The true partner is always with you from beginning. Which is yourself

[diane]

Self love isnt about fixing yourself. Its about falling in love with the parts of yourself youve been trying to fix.

My motto in life: “BE A GOOD PARENT TO YOURSELF” which to me means doing things that a awesome parent would do but for yourself——— I love this❤️

"Dear person whoever reads this,
Hey, you, yes, I'm talking right to you. I hope you will see yourself with the eyes I see you one day. Because I can tell you have some awesome music taste :) you're such a beautiful human being and worth and enough! I hope you know that you do only need yourself to be happy!! I know society build up the standard that whenever you're alone, you're not living a happy life. But in fact that is not true, if you start to realize that you actually deserve all the good things happening to you, you will treat yourself a lot nicer!! I hope you let yourself rest. Don't beat yourself up over past mistakes, over regret and over everything your mind wants to destroy you. I wish I could remove all those demons inside of your head because you deserve to feel happy! If you ever feel lonely, then watch the sky, because you know, someone, at the same time is watching the sky too.. maybe feeling the same way! I'm glad you exist and I hope you won't ever remove your own spot in this world..maybe you don't feel like you belong here but, Angel..then build your own home here. I don't want you to leave this world unhappy. I want you to live every little second, I want you to feel alive, don't want you to see yourself just existing, you deserve it!! Whatever happened, it's not your fault, the demos in your head recognize that you have a beautiful heart, they want to take it because they have never seen such beautiful heart as yours..so why let them win over you!? You're not selfish for isolating yourself, but you deserve to talk to someone. If you're reading this, then please never forget to breathe and smile!!

Don't live up to other standards! It's your story..not theirs!!

Live for those who couldn't..smile for those who forgot what a genuine smile is...love like there's no other..hug like it's your last one!!

I Love You and sending you hugs!You're so strong, you're still here and I'm proud of you!!

YOU ARE NOT USELESS. READ THAT AGAIN!

YOU ARE WORTH IT. READ THAT AGAIN!! YOU ARE LOVED. READ THAT AGAIN. I AM GLAD YOU EXIST. READ THAT AGAIN!!! YOU ARE NOT A PROBLEM. YOU ARE HUMAN AND YOUR FEELINGS ARE VALID. READ THAT AGAIN.

YOU ARE NOT BEING DRAMATIC!!

You're not a burden to anyone.. don't be afraid to talk, use your voice!!

You're beautiful inside out. Your body is beautiful the way it is!!

Please don't starve yourself. Please eat..I know it's hard but you deserve food. You deserve to eat and drink.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. READ THAT AGAIN.I WISH I COULD HUG YOU RIGHT NOW..SO A VIRTUAL HUG WILL DO.!

It hurts me to see you're in pain :( You deserve so much luv. Don't let your emotions control you. Don't let them get the best of you.

I love u I love u l love u I love u I love u please don't let go

I'm sorry that no one is hearing you, I'm sorry no one is noticing that you have lost yourself.I wish I could take your pain away..it hurts me to see the pain on your eyes. I love you through my words and I mean it. I just want you to stay.. hold on a little longer okay! Please? For me??

I hope you have an awesome day/morning/ evening/night

If it's night for you..go to sleep. I know it's hard to fall asleep right now but you deserve a good sleep. If you have nightmares, please don't let them fight you.

If it's day for you, don't start it by such sad music. I know it's impossible to have a good day with such mindset but take baby steps..start by drinking two cups of water in the morning and so on... You will start building little healthy habits.

If it's evening for you, you're probably overwhelmed and stressed. I want you to know it's okay to feel the way you feel. You don't need to be scared. Of course you're overwhelmed or stressed, I mean who wouldn't!? But it's impossible to know that when you feel that way, you should do a little self care..such as taking a bath for example? You deserve to feel at aese and relaxed. And if you're somewhere in between, I hope you know that you're stronger than you think...

I know that you will make it :)

Now, wipe those tears away and smile for me. you really don't know how much a smile can brighten someone's day, do you? I hope one day yours will become a genuine one where you don't need to fake it anymore. Because I can't say this enough. You deserve a good smile and to feel alive. You're worth more than every fooking cent in this world.

Remember, crying is not weakness. Let it out as much as you can but don't let the emotion control you by giving up. It's okay, you're here, you're safe, you can let it out.

Did anyone asked you how are you feeling today? If not, how are you really?? I don't think you're doing good, but you will feel good at one point. Don't give yourself up.

I'm sorry you feel misunderstood.

But anyone who gets to be with you, doesn't know how fooking lucky he/she/they is :)Enough with beating up yourself for today, okayy?

-- The stranger that cares about you more than anything!!

I hope this is enough for you to stay strong today.. Tomorrow will be a new day, a new start....let go now! I hope you can stay.

This is your sign to stay and treat yourself with LOVE, you deserve it.

And in case no one told you today, again...I'm so proud of you.

I hope you will remember my words! :)

Untill tomorrow my Friend! :)"

When your opinion of yourself goes up then you’ll stop trying to get so much validation and attention from other people. 💞

[niranjan.jadhav]

Self care is when you sitting on a mountain and closing yours eyes and just enjoying the weather so relaxing and helpfull to heal yourself from outer world

[kaeyashenanigans]

if your child is smiling at their phone, it’s because they’re watching Psych2go

[tani]

One thing that always makes me doubt myself is when i dont get results as high as i expected, self expectations are another cause why my self confidence keeps getting lower. I want to just appreciate myself for the efforts i put in even though the result isnt that satisfying:(

[qqrilyy]

I've been depressed and feeling low since last 5 months. My boyfriend who proposed me marriage cheated on me and I also lost my job. I'm surviving each day with a little bit of hope. Thanks for this video and the comments, they really helped me feel hopeful :)

[Farigiraf]

Tearing at the part when she says “forgive yourself”. It really helps open your eyes to so much about yourself

[laura.bt]

Hello there! 👋🏻
Just wanted to add something for those who struggle with self-deprecation:
- Before you judge and condemn yourself for whatever reason you have, examine if the negative thoughts and beliefs you hold about yourself are really your own or are imposed on you by others (family, societal expactations, etc..) That is what helped me come out of self-loathing and like I don’t deserve happines. That’s what really shifted it for me. I know I deserve to be happy now, and know I am allowed to put myself (self-care) first. I’m worth my own love. ❤️

[jackalart]

0:43 forgive yourself (too much self-deprecation can be harmful to your health)
1:13 be mindful (keeping a journal, meditating, etc.)
1:41 act on what you need (knowing what gives you energy/happiness)
2:14 set boundaries (ref. Maslow's hierarchy of needs)
2:44 protect yourself (bringing supportive people into your life)
3:08 live intentionally (make choices towards a goal)
3:39 show up for yourself (acknowledge the effort you've already given is important)
4:08 practice self-care (exercise, eating healthy, etc.)

i am sped

[AKKritter]

As an empath I can absolutely agree with all of these, self care is important and can turn a person's life around.

[CherylMuir]

If you are reading this: You are valued, loved, and so worthy 💗

[richasaxena]

This is so important for a trauma survivor like me.... I have forgotten to live and love myself. I wish I could come out of this situation and emerge as a strong and healthy person like I was before.

I hug myself to sleep after having a hard day

I'm that lonely

[JennyG.COW]

I want to add that under #4: "Set Boundaries", there can be a difference between getting out of your comfort zone and listening to your inner self (emotional, Spiritual, or mental) or even physical body.

For instance, sometimes when I wake up either from a nap or for the day, I might not feel like doing anything or going anywhere. However, once I attend an activity, go to Church, visit with Family, or whatever, I often feel better for going rather than staying surrounded by my four walls at home. I wasn't always like this, but I recently I've noticed this about myself.
I don't know if its related to a possible addition towards electronics or if it's in relation to something emotional and psychological that I haven't yet discovered.
In either case, I am glad for the small victories of getting over my insecurities and selfish desires and allowing myself to get lost in the moment. And yes, sometimes I Have turned down activities whenever I felt Super Tired or when I really just didn't want to go.
But when I have felt like I can, and I make the efforts to do so, I feel so much better connecting with others. 😊

[tilly]

i actually cried during this Video because i realized how awfull i feel about myself right now. Thank you so much for letting me realize that something has to change! <3
