Make the Switch!
Self-Love Club
Self-love can mean different
things to different people.
To some, it means lighting a
candle and taking a long,
hot bath after a day’s work. To
others, it’s ordering the truffle
fries with dinner because ‘we
deserve it’.
Whatever it means to you, selflove
encompasses all things
relationships, health, fitness,
and well-being. It’s the starting
point that requires us to shift
our focus inward and work on
becoming better versions of
ourselves.
Transforming the concept of
self-love into an action that you
can be accountable for can
be tricky. But it can start small,
such as setting daily habits
like waking up with a purpose
or making the bed. Then you
can move to focusing on a
healthier diet or signing up for
a gym class. Or it can be as
simple as shutting your laptop
at 5 PM on the dot to enjoy a
nice walk in the summer sun.
Whatever it is, it begins with
self-love!
‘My New Year’s Resolution is to be
fit and healthy’ - This is a line we tell
ourselves all too often (guilty). It’s a
cliche that many of us are guilty of
setting at the start of the year, but
after the summer holidays are over,
it’s easy to fall back into old habits.
Well, this year will be different. With
a new mindset and appreciation
for how short and beautiful life really
is, setting small habits to introduce
into your daily routine doesn’t seem
as far-fetched after all. And we say
small habits because it’s the little
things that make a huge difference.
Starting small allows us to turn little
actions into habits. If it’s waking
up and going for a walk or run
before you start your day instead
of scrolling TikTok or subbing the
sausage roll and can of Coke for a
salad and juice instead.
Switching out these little things and
making small changes will have a
dramatic effect on your health, not
just physically but mentally. You’ll
feel stronger, have more energy,
be more confident, and be able
to focus more. Don’t contemplate
it. Just switch it, and you’ll thank us
later!
Now with that all said and done,
we want to know… What do you
want to achieve next year?
