Self-Love Tips On Keeping Mindful About Mental Health

Self loved defined in a pink banner as THE CHOICE TO ACCEPT, APPRECIATE, PROTECT AND BE GENTLE WITH YOURSELF

Self-love is the bridge between you and everything you want. So, let’s sit with ourselves in front of that mirror and say to our inner child:

“You are lovely, you are brave, you got this!”

The first thing we all should remember is that self-love starts with us. You are the master of your life. The power comes from within, just stop and look inside. You are sure you will find a wonderland within yourself. Self-love means accepting yourself as you are in this very moment for everything that you are, learning from your own stories, experiences, wins and falls. Believing in yourself self is a powerful form of motivation... if you don’t do it, who else will!? 

It has become so easy to lose yourself and become overwhelmed in the daily routine of this modern era. Sometimes you just need to pause, take a moment to breath and reevaluate yourself . We all need to be kind to ourselves, take one step at a time and know that the only way out is through it. There is light is at the end of the tunnel. As said by J.K.Rowling:

“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light”

Self-love can sometimes mean different things for each person because we all have many different ways to take care of ourselves. If we could choose only one person to lead us on this journey it would have to be the one and only Oprah Winfrey. We all know her name, we all love her and are inspired by the astronomical heights of success she has achieved through the sheer grit and strength of believing in herself. If you are looking for inspiration, you can find it with her. She is a symbol of the dreams that come true and she is proof that if you love yourself the world will love you too. So let’s take some time to dive into some of her top self-love tips:

1. Take care of yourself

Everything starts with a wish- if you dream it, you can achieve it. Believe in yourself, acknowledge your potential. The moment when you decide you can, in that very moment you will. Sometimes you need to save yourself first, then go save the world, making yourself the priority and do the things that you love and make you happy. Taking care of yourself starts with taking time for yourself. Deeply investing in your goals and thinking hard about what it is that you want to accomplish in your life and what you want to do more of. You need to take responsibility for your life as you are the captain of your ship and the only one that can make that journey remarkable.

2. Go within and connect

You are your best friend, please remember that! Sit down with yourself and talk, start a journal and dive deep within your soul. Why not take time to even meditate? Meditation is a symbol of eternity and serenity. We all need it in this fast-absorbing atmosphere to calm the mind and give us a better insight into our thoughts and feelings. Time is all we have, so use it wisely. Steal just 10 minutes of your day to switch the world around you off to be still, present and enjoy the silence.

3. Focus on what you are grateful for

Living your life with gratitude helps you notice the little wins. We all need to take time to savour, absorb, and really pay attention to the good things that are sometimes taken for granted. Be thankful by slowing down and focusing on all the great things in your life, all those laughs with family and friends and moments that make you happy. Each of these small things strings together to create a web of well-being that over time strengthens you as a person.

4. Keep your vibration high

Choose your tribe, surround yourself with like-minded people that inspire, motivates and believe in you, even when you do not. Everything is energy, so if you catch a good vibe cherish it.  Cultivate high-vibe relationships by surrounding yourself with people who spread positive energy and lift you up, rather than drag you down. Taking this simple approach can have you vibrating at a higher level that makes you feel lighter, happier, and more at ease.

5. It begins and ends with you

Be the change you want to see in the world. The mind is a powerful weapon, so use it to create, achieve and become what you want to be. Your life is what you make it. You are the King or Queen of the castle, so make it colourful, make it big, make it your way. Life is like a race, so no matter where you start from, no matter your circumstance, challenges and failures, know that in the end, it all depends on you.

At the end of this journey of self-care and self-discovery, we need to remember to say to ourselves a few affirmations to start your day:  

  • I make my own decisions with confidence and conviction.
  • I give myself permission to be my authentic self.
  • I use my power for good.
  • I accept myself unconditionally.
  • I forgive myself for past mistakes and I grow from them.
  • I am motivated to pursue my true purpose.
  • I am powerful beyond any measures.
