2. Open up to receive and feel Loved - Set an intention to be available to all the Love that has been trying to come to you. This can be love that you feel from the Universe, random people that smile at you, or a butterfly that flies in front of you. Begin by practicing to let the love in. Imagine love coming in from all directions.
3. Begin to move into a Loving and compassionate energy with yourself - Practice shifting into this energy of compassion and love, which is a much softer and more gentle energy, throughout the day.
4. Mirror Yourself Throughout the Day — Reflect back to yourself your own beauty and all the amazing qualities about yourself. Examples can be “You are so loving — I love that about you” or “You are so sensitive, I love that about you” or “You are creative in so many ways and I love this about you.”
5. Practice unapologetic self-care and self-love - by asking yourself throughout the day, “What would be loving for me to do for myself right now?” Perhaps you could take a few moments and do one of the following things instead of what you’re doing right now: take a break, take a walk, read a book, talk to a friend, eat a healthy snack or meal, set a boundary with yourself, at work or with a loved one. Being mindful and practicing self-love takes discipline. Try it! You won’t believe how it can help you through an otherwise stressful situation or day!
Self-love is about letting go of the need to be what others want you to be and, unapologetically blooming into who you came here to be. It’s by truly loving yourself that you’ll be able to live a life filled with more joy, more meaning, more love, more abundance and true freedom.
So keep this in mind, today and every day: You are responsible for giving your self love. Self-love inspires love for others as well, so always acknowledge and appreciate your own worth.
