Pointers for Self Care & Self Love Routines

• Self Care & Self Love Routines start with telling yourself each day something really positive. How well you handled a situation, how lovely you look today. Anything that will make you smile.
• Fill your body with food and drink that nourishes it and makes it thrive.
• Move that gorgeous body of yours every single day and learn to love the skin you’re in. You can’t hate your way into loving yourself.
• Surround yourself with people who love and encourage you. Let them remind you just how amazing you are.
• End all toxic relationships. Seriously. Anyone who makes you feel anything less than amazing doesn’t deserve to be a part of your life.
• Celebrate your wins no matter how big or small. Pat yourself on the back and be proud of what you have achieved.
• Take time out to calm your mind every day. Breathe in and out, clear your mind of your thoughts and just be.
• Follow your passion.  The things that get you so excited but scare you at the same time are known to you. The thing you really want to do but have convinced yourself it won’t work. You should go do that!
• Be mindful of what you think, feel, and want. Live your life in ways that truly reflect this.
• Treat others with love and respect. It makes us feel better about ourselves when we treat others the way we hope to be treated. That doesn’t mean everybody will always repay the favor, but that’s their problem, not yours.
• Learn to say no. Saying no sometimes doesn’t make you a bad person, it makes you a smart person.
• Forgive yourself. You know that thing you did one time (or maybe a few times) that made you feel bad, embarrassed, ashamed? It’s time to let that go. You can’t change the things you have done in the past but you can control your future. Look at it as a learning experience and believe in your ability to change.
• Turn off and inwards. Grab a cup of your favorite tea, coffee, wine, whatever your choice of drink, and sit down for a few minutes on your own. No TV or distractions, just you. Think about the wonderful things that are happening in your life right now, what your big dreams are and how you can make them happen.
• Give up the need for approval from others. “You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there’s still going to be somebody who hates peaches.” — Dita Von Teese
• In conclusion, be realistic. There is no person on this earth that is happy every single moment of every single day. You know why? Because we are all human. We make mistakes, we feel emotions (good and bad) and this is OK.  Allow yourself to be human.

I bet you feel better already
