5 Steps On The Path To Self Love
Self-love is not selfish, it’s essential! You cannot provide love and care for others from an empty vessel! Here, our Customer Transformation Coach Candida shares 5 steps on the path to self love.
Self-care is so important. Many of us forget to practice self-care because we are too busy looking after everybody else. We don’t have time to relax because we don’t set aside the time. Maybe we feel like we don’t deserve it or we are just too tired to do it or care. I am not just talking about going to the gym or meditation or colouring books. Find something that works for you, and turn it into your ‘me-time’.
Maybe a massage or facial here or there, perhaps a comfy cosy cafe to read a book in, or, if you like walking, find a place you really enjoy and personalise it. I love the beach; swallowing up the sea air, looking around and seeing the beauty that surrounds me. Each inhale and exhale allows me to think clearly and put into perspective what is important and what is not!
Life can be so busy. Time goes by faster than we want it to. We are all guilty of falling off our own to-do lists. This is an exceedingly powerful statement. Considering the number of to-do lists we all make, and the tasks never include me-time, taking a short break, having your hair done (without the laptop) or simply breathing in some fresh air. Sometimes when we become so stressed the solution can often be food related and that is bad news.
Sadly, a lot of us think of self-care as selfish or as something we should do once we have got everything on our lists done! True self-care is about respecting ourselves, looking after ourselves and nurturing and loving ourselves — both for our own benefit and for the benefit of everyone around us.
Here are my 5 steps on the path to self love…
1) Know your strengths
Our weaknesses – and they are needy blighters – are always screaming out for our undivided attention. Try to instead focus on your strengths. You have so many. Write down your strengths, focus on them and use them daily.
2) Surround yourself with positive people
You can choose who you keep in your life so choose wisely. Some people can be so negative and attention seeking and so they indirectly zap your precious energy, which could be used to a greater benefit elsewhere!
3) Be still
We live in such a rushed, over-stimulated, technology based society. Facebook rules our lives, phones never leave our sides, your tablet is bleeping in your bag. STOP! Find somewhere beautiful – a park, the woods, the beach or even your bedroom – and just sit there, peacefully and still. Absorb the sound of the wind whispering through the trees, the light and the shadows, the sheer and utter peace. It’s meditative and calming for the soul!
4) Create a self-care kit
Fill a small hamper or basket with things that make you happy. This could be a favourite book, a nail varnish you love, treasured photos, a heaven scent body lotion – anything that makes you smile and feel a little bit of inner peace!
5) Indulge your inner child. Remember what made you happy when you were a child. Running through dewy grass in bare feet, splashing in puddles, picking wild flowers, cycle rides in the countryside, skimming stones. Feed your inner child and watch your positivity grow from strength to strength.
Remember, by nurturing and respecting your health and well-being you’re able to share those euphoric feelings with those around you.
“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and attention” – Budha.
