6 Habits of self-love every woman should adopt
Every woman should have certain habits geared towards a live filled with self-love and self fulfilment. Self-love is not a cliché for greedy people who do not seem to care for others, it is a lifestyle that helps you evolve and appreciate your whole being.
“To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance.”
– Oscar Wilde
Rest.
Rest must be prioritized as much as you prioritize work. When you rest you give your body the opportunity to regain all lost energy and you get new energy to share even to others. So it is important that you make rest a regular habit.
Body Positivity.
To love yourself, you must love the body you live in! No matter the body goal you are hoping to achieve, you must be in love and in gratitude for the body you currently have. Being positive about your body also means that you will not permit any negative or uncomfortable remarks on your body. Enjoy your body and grow in it!
Here are 3 Self-love quotes that should brighten your day.
“Lighten up on yourself. No one is perfect. Gently accept your humanness.”
– Deborah Day
“I had to grow to love my body. I did not have a good self-image at first. Finally it occurred to me, I’m either going to love me or hate me. And I chose to love myself. Then everything kind of sprung from there. Things that I thought weren’t attractive became sexy. Confidence makes you sexy.”
– Queen Latifah
“Accept yourself, love yourself, and keep moving forward. If you want to fly, you have to give up what weighs you down.”
– Roy T. Bennett
Set love Boundaries
Setting boundaries is not the same as blocking people out of your life. Setting boundaries helps you adequately caution people on the extent of the operation towards you. This helps protect your space and sanity so make it an habit to always set boundaries.
“Love yourself enough to set boundaries. Your time and energy are precious. You get to choose how you use it. You teach people how to treat you by deciding what you will and won’t accept.”
– Anna Taylor
Give yourself grace
Make it an habit to give yourself grace as much as you give others, it is good to have standards but when your humanity comes calling and you can’t hold up those standards as you would have wanted, it is important to give your self grace and acknowledge your humanity.
Declutter in and out.
Make it an habit to declutter your space as well as your life in general. Take time out to take out unwanted things out of your space and also take toxic habits and people out of your life, this singular act helps refresh your spirit and you will have more energy to express what you have inside without any sort of bad energy interfering in your life.
Have a me time!
Having a me time suggests that you have a time where only you are the focus and everything you do in and around that period must nourish your soul. You could light a scented candle and play your favorite playlist, just make sure you are at the center of nourishment during this period.
