Social media romanticizes self-love in a way that makes it seem perfect and ideal, which discourages women to practice self love every day. It creates a false idea that self love is a superficial process. In reality, self love is a process that takes place primarily in your mind and can be practical and messy. Self love for women can take place anywhere at any time, and here I will share how women can incorporate self love actions daily.
3 tips to Practice Self Love Everyday
1.Transform daily actions into better habits
2.Create self love affirmations
2.Jewelry with meaning
Implementing small actions of self-love, even on busy days, signals to our brain that we are worthy. This creates a satisfaction sensation that stimulates our creativity to find more ways to practice self-love.
This post The Neuroscience of Pleasure: Hacking the Brain’s Reward System, explains how we can use and train our brains to create pleasurable experiences that support our well-being. It supports the idea that small self love actions can lead to bigger self love actions.
You can practice self love in your home or while doing daily tasks.
These three tips support self love for women and can help you practice self love everyday, especially when you are on a busy schedule.
1. Transform daily actions into better habits.
Self love for women could be challenging due to all the activities we have to accomplish during our day. Having time in the morning to meditate and taking a bath in a peaceful environment at night would be perfect, but in reality, our days are full of to-do lists, crazy mornings rushing to work, crazier mornings if you have kids to take to school, crazy nights if you have to put them to sleep, Etc. Therefore, instead of trying to make time for ourselves, it’s best to transform our daily activities into meaningful moments. For Example
Showering:
Take advantage of this time; that time that usually takes you to shower can be very beneficial. Use your senses to appreciate this moment when you can feel the water running through your body, and focus on the smell of your favorite shampoo. Say something nice to your body as you scrub it, etc. It becomes a positive habit that can change how you start or end your day.
Choosing your jewelry accessories:
This is my favorite tip because I love jewelry. When I get ready, I usually take 3 to 5 minutes to accessorize my outfit in a more profound way. I use jewelry with special meaning, or I intentionally give a purpose to a piece of jewelry and use it to remind myself of powerful affirmations.
You can do the same; use your favorite jewelry and assign a purpose or self love phrase. To find new meaningful jewelry, visit my online store, JMo’s Jewelry, to find stunning styles that help you look and feel great.
When driving:
Driving to or from work can be stressful due to traffic, but transform that moment by making it a moment for yourself by listening to and enjoying your favorite music or listening to a personal growth podcast or e-book. Instead of fighting with people on the road, focus on yourself and thank for the extra time to practice self love.
As you can see, we can find ways to transform our daily tasks and routines into more meaningful moments that help us practice self love every day.
2. Create self love affirmations
Another great way to practice self love every day is to be aware of what we say or think to ourselves. What is the first thought that comes to your mind when you make mistakes or when you feel frustrated or disappointed? Most of the time, we say mean or hurtful things to ourselves, and just as our brain can stimulate our creativity to find pleasure, it does the same to support our bad feelings and thoughts.
Therefore, it is essential to transform those discouraging words into supportive self-love phrases to make you appreciate and love yourself instead of judging you. These are three suggestions:
“I’m Making Progress.”
Whenever I feel frustrated because I couldn’t accomplish something and the guilt starts to arise, I tell myself, “I’m making progress.” This takes away the burden of trying to be perfect, and instead of judging myself, I understand and appreciate my effort to make progress.
“I deserve good things.”
Sometimes, the obvious is not so obvious, so this phrase helps me remember I’m valuable, just as any other person. It’s a reminder that I, as anybody, deserve good things. Then, it encourages me to keep working for my dreams. It also works when facing situations I don’t want to tolerate. It enables me to seek my best and not settle for less.
“I believe in myself”
This phrase is great to remind myself that I’m the most important person in your life. When I feel alone or that no one understands me, this phrase makes me look at myself and helps me connect with myself. It’s also great, especially when you have already recognized your strengths, so you can remind yourself that you are capable. Check out my previous post 3 Life Changing Steps to Self Love & How to prioritize yourself where I talk about how recognizing your strengths is part of the process to self love.
Remember that you must be aware of what you say to yourself when something does not go how you want to replace those words for these powerful phrases.
These are just three examples of phrases that can help you practice self love every day, but you can also create the phrases or words you connect with the best.
3. Jewelry with meaning:
As I have mentioned before, jewelry can be a powerful tool to practice self love every day. Self Love for women can be fun and creative. Most women wear jewelry as a way to express themselves. Therefore, I found this to be the best way to connect and love myself.
Jewelry accessories go with us all day and can become an anchor piece if you add a powerful meaning. Thinking of this led me to create a jewelry store to provide you with stunning accessories that would make you look and feel great. Here are the most loved pieces with powerful meanings focused on self love.
- Self Love bracelet: It’s a statement design that reflects confidence and encourages you to embrace your strengths and flaws.
- Radiant Heart Bracelt: This bracelet is made with love and intention to serve as a powerful reminder of your inner essence and uniqueness to keep you focused on your emotional well-being.
- Joyful Necklace: It’s a delicate design that reflects confidence and encourages you to find happiness every day.
Impact of self love on our daily lives
Our lives are filled with stress, anxiety, and rush to accomplish things, leaving us no time to connect and love ourselves. This can generate emptiness and unhappiness feeling.
And if we are not happy, what are we in this world for?
That’s why it is important to find practical ways to practice self love every day. It will help us find a balance in life and positively impact those around us, especially our families and loved ones.
As I have described here, it’s clear self love doesn’t have to be fancy or perfect. We don’t need to have the perfect environment to practice self-love; we can do it even during our most chaotic days; in fact, we should do it even more during those days.
These practical tips have helped my personal growth journey and self-love process and it can help you, too. Create more meaningful moments that lead you to a better life.
