You probably have heard "Love yourself first," "Practice Self Love," or "Spread the love" by this time of month. A few scroll through social media, and there is a high chance that you'll encounter influencers giving self-love advice that often ignores other reasons, with some who struggle with self-worth, a.k.a words like " You just have to love yourself." which leads to toxic positivity. 

And we don't want that! So, to avoid that, we made a list of simple ways that you can boost your self love this year.

1. Practice Setting Boundaries: In real life and online - to build self-worth

This is an important step when you start your self love journey. Avoid giving your time and energy to people who trigger feelings of unworthiness. Start identifying the people who drain your energy, and just like a phone call, end the conversation with loved ones who are bringing you down.

2. Meditate 

Our whole day, we listen to other people, your boss, co-workers, Mom or bestie. But set aside time to listen to yourself and your body. Give yourself even just 10 minutes of not thinking about anything else, and being with ourselves can have a huge impact.

3. Say 3 to 5 Positive Affirmations Daily.

After meditating, Self-love improves how we treat and talk to ourselves. Find affirmations that resonate with your current situation and not just any random positive words. We highly recommend repeating these words aloud or writing them 3x.

4. Create a Gratitude List. 

Before your day ends, write everything you love about yourself, a win list. Here are simple questions to answer. "What are you proud of today?" or " What made you happy today?"

5. You won't believe it, but Vision Boards can help, too!

Remember the law of attraction? Having a vision board helps you create the life you deserve. And each goal you add must have an emotional connection to you. And seeing the whole picture of your future that you actually love can be reflected in what you're feeling now.

6. Treat Yourself 

Girll, you deserve that spa day! or go on a long nature walk. If staying home and sleeping in makes you happy, do it! There are a million ways for you to treat yourself!

Remember, there is no one way to take care of ourselves; we all have our own way of loving ourselves. Self Love is not instant; it's a process, so be patient and kind to yourself.

Here's your February affirmation + intention (write it or repeat it out loud):

💡 Here's a manifesting tip: Here's a manifesting tip: When manifesting, you don't have to complicate things. When you start to overthink, your thoughts get crowded and chaotic. WE DON'T WANT TO INVITE CHAOS TO OUR LIFE. So, before you start your vision board, make sure to pause. Clear your mind. And listen to your emotions.
