Learning To Love Ourselves
When we think of love we immediately think of the people in ours lives, our children, parents, siblings, our extended family, friends, acquaintances, our pets and work colleagues. Not necessarily in that order! But who do we not tend to place high up on this list? Ourselves of course! This blog aims to give you a bit of background to our Get Well Soon Gift Baskets, designed with self care in mind.
Little old ‘us’ tends to get pushed a way down our ‘To Do’ list, usually ending up at the bottom of the pile. We are taught as children to “always put others before yourself” as this is kind, shows manners and that being selfish is a flaw. Obviously being all about ourselves isn’t ideal either as we are unlikely to form friendships if we are entirely selfish beings. Doing things for others also makes us feel good, so much so it is contagious. It seems to be the old saying of “everything in moderation” comes into play again here. Surely there is a happy medium between self love and loving those around us.You deserve to be loved not only by those around you, but by the most important person in your life — YOU. Ways to practice self-love include practising good self-care. In most cases it is the self care side of things we need to be better at and so we researched some ideas to help with this.
Practicing Self Care
You will love yourself more when you take better care of your basic needs. People high in self-love nourish themselves daily through healthy eating and drinking plenty of water. They also try to make their bodies happy by engaging in healthy activities & exercise. Express yourself through a creative outlet such as writing, painting, dancing, singing, cooking etc. Stay organised by keeping a diary or journal. Take yourself on a date and learn to enjoy spending time with yourself. This could be going for a solo coffee or treating yourself to a spa date. Getting proper sleep and having intimacy and healthy social interactions is also important. To practice self-love, start by being kind, patient, gentle and compassionate to yourself, the way you would with someone else that you care about.
