This goes a long, long way fellows. Giving yourself unconditional love and self-respect is truly understated in this world. As a matter of fact, how can we love others if we cant love ourselves first. Your cup has to be filled first to fill others cup, its that simple. Yet, most of us don't care about ourselves more than we care for our family or friends. We all have some habits of self-sabotage and treat ourselves like a prisoner than like a free tribe, and giving our hearts, minds and body the care and the freedom it needs. I hope the following things will help you to move towards a more unconditional self-loving person than your current self.
Asking simple questions
You can ask yourself some simple questions such as:
1. What did i do for self-care today ?
2. What my heart loves to do ? What is the last time i followed my heart ?
3. Did i tell myself that "I love <YOUR NAME HERE> sooo much" ? ( It feels weird at first ! Just try it with your hands over your heart )
4. Did i tell myself that no matter whatever happens its alright ?
These are very simple questions you can ask yourself every day in the morning and notice how you feel that day goes. You can add some other self-love questions to this mix. Try to answer these genuinely, no one is going to judge you. Address when there is a lack in the answers.
Spend some time for yourself
We live a busy life and we are all occupied with hectic schedules from the morning till night. Take some time away from this busy schedule and spend it on yourself. What would you like to do in that time for yourself ? Go and do whatever your heart really needs that is truly good for you. Often, when we spend some time alone with our self, we notice our emotions, thoughts that were suppressed during busy days. Be more aware of your inner world, notice how things changes inside you. Introspect your world and respect whatever that is being presented to you, acknowledge them and move on.
Add some Feel goals everyday
Everyday recently i set some feel goals like, today i want to feel grateful, excited and adventurous. I chase those goal and add necessary changes in my schedule to fit any tiny activities what will make me feel those things. For example, to feel grateful, i would write "i am grateful for ..." and fill it with 10 things. There is a scientific study that proves that the people who does this on regular basis feels more happier than average baseline. To feel excited, i search for news that makes me excited like new gadgets, physics discoveries. To feel adventurous, i will go to someplace new and eat something different. You can set some feel goals to your to-do list. Mix it with new feel goals everyday to keep it fresh and interesting.
Vent off your negative emotions
If you have too much stress or stored up negative emotions, vent them physically or by talking to others. You can anonymously vent to public using muttr, or want to chat with someone who listens to your problems use 7cups. You can try to get more physical by joining some yoga, dancing or boxing classes. It keeps your energies grounded and stable. You can love yourself only if you can manage your energies well, by keeping yourself filled with positive thoughts, emotions.
This is really a challenge for all of us because right from our childhood and due to the human evolution, we were all trained to be less self-loving to ourselves. It must be changed by our consistent efforts. When you treat yourself better, the world treats you well.
