When the topic of self love comes up, most of us think of extravagant holidays or impulse splurge buying. The more we lean into self-love the more we learn that the very act of loving yourself is one that is intentional and not reactive or impulsive. These are everyday acts of self-love for a fulfilling life that don’t cost the earth! What if each small act of self-love was a stepping stone towards a more vibrant and abundant existence?
So you probably thinking…. what are these everyday examples of self love and how you can implement this into your day to day life ?
Morning Brew Ritual
Picture waking up to the gentle aroma of freshly brewed coffee or your favourite herbal tea. Taking that first sip is not just a ritual; it’s an act of self-love. Starting your day with a warm beverage that brings you joy sets the tone for a morning filled with positivity and gratitude. The morning brew is also a great moment to take pause before launching into the madness of the day a head. Use this time for affirmations as its easily incorporated as part of the morning routine.
Dance Party in Your PJs
Who says you need a special occasion to bust out your best dance moves? Crank up your favourite tunes, throw on your comfiest pyjamas, and let loose in your living room. Dancing like nobody’s watching is not just a fun activity; it’s a celebration of self-expression and liberation. Bonus points if you work up a sweat while you are at it.
Tech-Free Time-Out
In a world buzzing with notifications and digital distractions, carving out tech-free time is a precious act of self-love. Whether it’s a leisurely walk in nature, curling up with a good book, or indulging in a creative hobby, unplugging allows you to reconnect with yourself and recharge your spirit. Sure, there will be moments where you feel like you may be missing out on something. That would be the cravings talking and they will settle if you ignore them. Taking regular breaks from tech not only helps increase your mood but it also gives your poor posture a break!
Bubble Bath Bliss
Ah, the simple pleasure of sinking into a warm bubble bath after a long day. Light some candles, add a dash of your favourite essential oil, and let the stress melt away. Bath time isn’t just about getting clean; it’s about pampering yourself and indulging in moments of pure bliss. Water has a way of putting the mind and body at ease. Got a bit of backache from too many hours slouched over the desk? Add some epsom salts to relieve the tension.
Kind Words in the Mirror
Before you rush out the door, take a moment to gaze into the mirror and shower yourself with kind words. Affirmations like “You are enough” or “You’ve got this” may seem simple, but they carry immense power. Speaking to yourself with love and encouragement sets the stage for a day filled with confidence and self-assurance. When you ready to take it up to the next level, look in the mirror and say ” I love you” right before you leave the house and pay attention to the pep in your step.
As we journey through life’s ups and downs, let’s remember to sprinkle our days with everyday acts of self-love. Whether it’s savouring your morning brew, dancing like nobody’s watching, or indulging in a bubble bath, each act is a reminder that you are worthy of love, joy, and fulfilment. So go ahead, embrace the magic of self-love, and watch as your life transforms into a masterpiece of happiness and contentment one day at a time.
