elf Love
Self-Love is the most underrated emotion – not by society but by us, the women. So we
have been conditioned all through our initial years to be the primary care & love givers
to our family that we have forgotten to love ourselves in the process. Be it serving the
best-baked bread to your husband or putting your health on the back burner to care for
your elders, or never buying yourself fancy stuff so that your kid can enjoy expensive
toys -you never are your own priority. So for International Women’s Day each year,
let's practice “Self-Love” by embracing these 15 changes in your life.
I Love You- say this loudly every morning to yourself, looking at a mirror multiple
times with a deep breath of gratitude to yourself.
I love how you are- too fat, thin, tall, and short; it just doesn’t matter. Be
comfortable in your skin.
Be your own critic but don’t overdo it. Sometimes it’s important to pat your own
back for your achievements. Wear your badge with pride.
Surround yourself with people who love and encourage you. Let them remind you
just how amazing you are.
Believe that
there is no one
else like you
in the world.
Stop comparing yourself to others. Every
journey is
different & unique.
You need to be a better version of yourself.
Walk out of toxic relationships – an abusive husband and emotionally
overburdening friend or children who don’t value you. Any person who makes you
feel less loved or doesn’t invest time in the relationship as much as you do- it’s
better to say “goodbye.”
Raise a toast to every win of yours, even if no one else does. Celebrate your
progress with yourself.
Try something new at regular intervals – a new hobby, a new hairstyle, a new habit.
Step outside of your comfort zone, and you will be surprised when you surpass your
limits.
