5 Steps to a self-love journey

Self love is all the talk these days. I am going to give you 5 steps to really embark on said self love journey.

1. Awareness - you need to be aware that you might not love yourself as you should. A great way to know that is - would you like for (insert someone you adore) to love themselves as much as you love yourself? And this should be a pretty good starting point.
2. Forgiveness - Do you forgive yourself easily? Do you talk down to yourself after a big slip up? Do you keep going over and over again and talking down to yourself?
3. Admiration - do you admire things about yourself? Do you admire the way you look, the way you dress, the way you interact with people you love? Or are you always comparing yourself to other people almost wishing you were them?
4. Respect - do you respect yourself enough not to put up with people, relationships, situations that are not for you? Do you love yourself enough to walk away?

I once walked away from a marriage that wasn’t good for me. I slept in my car because I decided that even if I didn’t love myself or the person that I became at that point I needed to respect myself enough to walk away from what was toxic.

5) Self Love - Do you love yourself enough to be happy just the way you are? Do you love yourself enough to care for yourself? Do you love yourself enough to go to the doctor, to do the things that will make you happier?

I saw a video recently of a psychologist saying that you cannot love without respect and admiration. And I believe that to be the absolute truth. So even if you don’t love yourself just yet - start respecting and admiring yourself and soon enough you will!
