Hello Lovelies,
I hope you have had a good start to the week.
As today is world kindness day, I really wanted to talk about being kind to yourself.
Sometimes life gets busy, and we forget the most important thing; being kind to ourselves. Its very easy to get swept along in the stress of life and to take that stress out on yourself, whether thats with negative thoughts or behaviors.
Today I thought I would put together a Self Love Guide for anyone to refer back to when life gets a little tough, and you need a reminder of whats truly important-being kind to yourself.
1)Take Care of your body
Eat well, Sleep well, Exercise when you can. Pamper yourself; take a shower, do a face mask, curl your hair <3
2) Build Positive Thoughts and affirmations
Its true what they say...practice makes perfect, so get practicing and son positive thoughts will pop into your head without you even trying.
3) Expel any negative thoughts and replace them with positives
its so easy to begin thinking negatively when your stressed or down. They key is to replace these negative thoughts with its counterpart positive-
"IM GOING TO FAIL" Straight away switch it up with "I WILL BE A SUCCESS"
4) Find an amazing quote book and read one evryday
Personally I find a positive quote book is the key to picking me up when I'm down. Taking the time to read some motivational quotes is the best pic me up and makes you evaluate, what you need to change to make sure you are at your happiest.
5) Don't Compare yourself to others
I honestly believe that no good can come from comparing yourself to someone else. No bodies lives or way of thinking for that matter are the same. So why compare yourself to someone else. You are individual and thats amazing-go be you everyone else it taken. Also how boring would life be if we were all clones of each other.. err no thank you!
6) Remove toxic people from your life
This one is so tricky, but really important when we are talking being kind to yourself. Toxic people arent worth your time or energy and boy do they take up A LOT of it.
7) Live in the moment
The way children bumble along in the moment is so refreshing and something that those of us trying to adult should really take note of. Stop worrying about what happened yesterday, or whats going to happen next week and start living for today!
Having had a few bad mental health days, I really needed to read this post.. 🙊 I definitely need to learn to ‘take care of my body’, because I’m so bad at looking after myself when I feel down.. Thankyou for this post! 🖤

ReplyDeleteIt's so important to take care of yourself and learn how to listen to your body. I've only learned how to do that in the past year or so and it has made such a huge difference to my overall well-being :)x
