We've been raised in a culture that teaches us--whether for good or bad--that we "work" 5 days and we take the other 2 days off. Repeat, repeat, repeat. While having a dedicated work ethic will benefit us while focusing on our self-love practice & habits, we do NOT get to take days off. We're loving ourselves 24/7! Not that we're "practicing" habits, rituals, and routines of self-love 24 hours a day, but we are loving ourselves all day, every day. A self-love ethic, then, adopts a 7-day mindset. Put routines into place that support this 7-day mindset, and you'll gain more confidence about your ability to practice self-love every day as you go along. The more you do it, the better your are at doing it. Remember, we're not doing something for the sake of doing it--we're doing something we want to do, that brings us joy, and fulfills our desire for love. Be patient and compassionate. Put routines and rituals into place. Adopt healthy habits and a mindset that reminds you of your right to claim self-love for yourself.
