Ep. 145: How to Start Loving Yourself Again

In a world where social media constantly bombards us with images of "perfection," it’s easy to fall into the trap of negative self-talk and self-doubt. But it's important to remember that self-love is not just a buzzword or a trend, it’s a necessity for mental health and overall well-being. It is a must that we get back to self-love and loving ourselves more so that we can create the business and life we want.

So, let's dive into some tips and strategies to help you get back to loving yourself. 

Here are the 5 tips Coach Stone shares in this episode:

Tip #1: Practice self-compassion

The first step to loving yourself is to practice self-compassion. Instead of criticizing yourself for every little mistake or shortcoming, try to treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you would show to a good friend. Acknowledge your emotions and give yourself permission to feel them. Remind yourself that it's okay to make mistakes and that failure is a part of the learning process.

Tip #2: Take care of your physical health

Taking care of your physical health can also play a significant role in promoting self-love. Exercise regularly, eat a balanced and nutritious diet, and get enough sleep. When you feel good physically, it can help boost your mood and improve your self-esteem.

Tip #3: Practice gratitude

Sometimes, we get so caught up in what we don't have that we forget to appreciate what we do have. Taking time each day to practice gratitude can help shift your focus to the positive aspects of your life. Write down three things you're grateful for each day, whether it's a kind gesture from a friend or a beautiful sunset.

Tip #4: Engage in activities that bring you joy

Make time for activities that bring you joy and fulfillment, whether it's painting, hiking, reading, or spending time with loved ones. Doing things you enjoy can help boost your self-esteem and improve your overall well-being.

Tip #5: Seek professional help

If you're struggling with self-love, seeking professional help can be incredibly beneficial. A therapist or counsellor can help you identify negative thought patterns and develop strategies to overcome them. Don't hesitate to reach out for help if you need it.

Remember, self-love is a journey, not a destination. It's okay to have bad days and moments of self-doubt, but by practicing self-compassion, taking care of your physical health, practicing gratitude, engaging in activities that bring you joy, and seeking professional help when needed, you can get back to loving yourself.
