Self Love Affirmations

Self Love 

Self love and Self Care are about so many things. Ultimately though I think it is about having a deep understanding and appreciation of who you are, honouring the whole of you, having compassion for yourself, respecting your boundaries and working towards becoming the best version of yourself.

It can be about treating yourself like you would anyone you truly value. Or about getting a true understanding of who you are and appreciating the whole of you.

It can also be about accepting yourself as you are right now whilst knowing that you deserve to reach your highest potential and then working towards that.

Or about looking after your needs - mental, emotional and physical.  Or even about surrounding yourself with things, people and ideas that make you feel good and inspire to be the best you can be whilst taking a step back from anything that doesn't serve you. 

Getting to know yourself

I think one of the first steps to loving yourself is to truly understand yourself and get in tune with your feelings. 

The first step in doing this is to acknowledge what you are feeling, allow the feelings to come without trying to suppress or distract yourself, trying to understand why you are feeling what you are and finding a beneficial solution.

E.g. I feel frustrated because my carpet fitter didn't arrive. Do I need to talk to someone? Do I need reassurance? Do I need to make my boundaries clear?  

Do what feels right and then make space to understand and appreciate your reaction.

Self Love Affirmations

Affirmations said with belief and confidence on a regular basis, can really be life changing. 

Repeating some Self Love affirmations regularly or saying them to cancel out a recurring negative thought can change your mindset completely.

I like to do affirmations after every Salah (Prayers). There are many days when I forget but on the days I do remember, I can really feel the positive difference.

It is important to remember to breathe gently throughout, and try to make your out breath longer then your in breath. It will help you to stay present throughout.

Doing them in front of the mirror is also helpful or recording them in your own voice and playing them back as and when you need them is also a good idea.
