How to MAXIMISE self love right now

Introduction

Self love can be a difficult concept to grasp for many people, especially if you are not used to being alone with your thoughts. It can feel like an uncomfortable experience at first, but the more you practice it the easier it becomes. Below are some ways that you can start practicing self love in your day-to-day life!

Self love can be practiced in many ways

Self love is not something you can buy, it's a process that takes time and patience. You can't expect to go from zero to 100 overnight, and there will be days where you feel like the walls are closing in on you. But self love is worth fighting for because for every bad day, there are going to be great days as well.

Self love is also about making choices every day that work towards your benefit, whether or not it's easy at first—and hey, sometimes it might be hard! But when I look back at my life now I realize how far I've come from where I started. It all comes down to one thing: choice. The power of choice lies within each individual person; we don't need anyone else telling us what's right or wrong—we need only ourselves (and maybe some friends along the way).

It may seem like a lot of work at first but once you get into an established routine with yourself then self-care begins becoming second nature—it becomes part of who you are instead of something separate from who you really want yourself to be as an individual human being living out their best possible life accordingTo me this means finding ways where I can treat myself well without disrupting someone else's peace/comfort level around me

Volunteering

Volunteering is a great way to meet people and make friends, but it's also a great way to learn new skills. You can learn something new from every person you meet, and it’s important not to take yourself too seriously.

So do you still think volunteering is too much of a commitment? Not if you're doing it right! Volunteering helps us learn how to love ourselves by helping others, so there's no reason why anyone should be afraid of volunteering.

It doesn't matter where you live or what kind of schedule you keep; there are countless opportunities for volunteer work out there for everyone who wants them! Just find something that interests you—it could be anything from car repair at the local community center or tutoring children at a local elementary school—and ask around until someone gives up some information about how they got involved in their favorite cause-related activity.

Pampering yourself

• Take a bath with bubbles.

• Get a massage.

• Do your nails, including the tips of your fingers, and then go get a manicure and pedicure.

• Buy yourself flowers or plants that look nice and pretty in your room/apartment/house.

• Go to the movies alone, or watch one at home if you don’t have time for the theater.

• Watch TV shows until you fall asleep (if you are into this kind of thing).

Eating regularly, healthy meals

In order to make sure your body is getting what it needs, it's important to eat regularly and have a healthy diet.

In addition to eating regularly, here are some other tips:

• Eat a balanced diet. For example, avoid junk food and other foods that are high in sugar. Also, don't eat too much sugar overall—it can be bad for you!

• Drink water instead of soda or juice. Soda isn't good for you because it has a lot of sugar in it; water is better for hydration!

Spending time with loved ones

Spending time with other people is one of the best ways to learn how to love yourself.

It’s easy to be self-critical and feel like you don’t deserve good things, but when you spend time with someone else, it can be hard not to see how much they love themselves.

You might not be able to mirror their confidence at first, but seeing them make decisions for themselves and live their life in a way that makes them happy will help you realize that if they can do it, so can you!

Spending time alone in healthy ways

Before you can begin to love yourself, you need to learn how to be alone. Being alone does not mean being lonely. You'll know when you're at that point because you'll be doing things like this:

• Learning how to love yourself through self care and self exploration.

• Spending time alone in healthy ways such as reading, writing or other creative activities that help expand your mind and make it feel less cramped inside your headspace - literally!

• Getting out into nature for some fresh air (do this often) and getting some exercise so that the blood flows freely throughout all of those body parts that make up YOU! Bonus points if they include yoga (or other forms of exercise).

• It's important to remember when spending time with yourself isn't just about keeping busy with distractions every minute but rather a means of learning who exactly YOU are as an individual person; what makes them tick? Why were they born into this world? What do they want out of life? These questions will help build up confidence within themselves instead of relying on others' opinions about them constantly."

Meditation and reflection

Meditation and reflection are a great way to practice self-love. You can meditate any way you want, but the main idea is to focus on the present and be mindful of what's happening around you. If you're having trouble sleeping, try meditating before bedtime so that your body has time to rest and relax before going to sleep.

As an added bonus: meditation is also linked to improved brain function and better health overall!

Enjoying your own company

• You know how to be alone.

• You know when you need to be with others.

• You know that sometimes, it's okay to do things for yourself.

• And sometimes, it's okay to do things for others.

• And sometimes, it's totally fine if those two things overlap and can even happen at the same time.

Practicing mindfulness

Mindfulness is a practice that's proven to help with everything from stress, depression and anxiety to pain management. It teaches you how to be present in your body with awareness—including all the sensations, movements and thoughts that arise while you're meditating. It also helps you become more aware of the world around you, including other people.

"The point of mindfulness is not to get rid of your thoughts," says clinical psychologist Brant Secunda Ph.D., "but rather how we relate to them." The goal is not only self-awareness but also acceptance: No matter what's going on inside or outside us at any given moment, we can choose how we respond instead of reacting impulsively or blindly. By practicing this skill regularly over time (secunda recommends about 15 minutes per day), our brains will start creating new neural pathways for healthier responses like curiosity instead of fear or anger—and those changes will stick around long after we stop meditating!

Conclusion

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to self love. You can practice it in many ways, and it’s important to find what works best for you. Your journey is unique, so be gentle with yourself as you explore how to maximize your own personal happiness.
