For many of us, love for ourselves just doesn’t exist.
Not only do we not pamper and value ourselves, but, on the contrary, we constantly criticize, humiliate, and punish ourselves. We find millions of reasons for this: we have eaten too much, we have not passed the exams badly, we have not got the job we want, so we have not started playing sports since Monday, and so on.
All these consequences of self-love – even more overeating, self-closure, anger, stress, aggression,…
All of these factors are the most direct path to an unhappy life, gaining weight and ever-increasing illnesses.
We become uninteresting, not only to ourselves but to the people around us. To avoid all this and improve our quality of life, we need to invest in ourselves. We are not talking about material things at all.
So, let’s try to discover together the most acceptable and effective ways – to love yourself.
Morning.
Let’s start each morning with a short ritual. Two glasses of warm water seasoned with a slice of lemon. If this seems too difficult in the first few days, start with one glass of water. When drinking water, think about how your body is happy to receive this water, how the whole body wakes up, how your health improves as toxins and slag are gradually removed.
Then go to the mirror, smile, and say aloud three times, “Every day I feel more and more love for myself, and I am just a wonderful creation of God.”
Drinking water and self-praise will only take you 5 minutes, and the benefits will be huge.
Self-education.
Even if we had graduated from school or university a long time ago, we need to keep learning and improving. For this activity – we need to find time and motivation for life. It is the best preventive measure against various diseases (such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s) and old age.
Also, new knowledge always makes us grow mentally – it helps us communicate with people; it boosts our self-esteem and self-confidence – which really helps us learn to love ourselves more. Therefore, let’s try to discover at least a few minutes a good book or useful article to read every day.
Try to be interested in various topics: healthy eating, psychology, philosophy, economics, fashion, health, sports,…
Nutrition.
It is no longer a news or a secret to anyone that products of animal origin are the most direct path to cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, overweight diseases.
However, it also causes aggression, depressed mood, fear, anxiety, insomnia, and so on. In products obtained by pain or killing, the emotion that the animal experienced before the killing and the emotions it felt during its lifetime remains. So when we eat such food, we eat both those emotions together and as if we are experiencing them.
Of course, we will not all become vegans, but we already have a reduction in products such as meat, fish, eggs, or dairy products today. Probably, the easiest way would be to start by introducing more plant products into your menu.
Let’s enjoy fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, porridge.
Let’s learn vegetarian, vegan, raw foods. And let’s not eat any food of animal origin at least one day a week.
Very soon, you will feel that the quality of sleep has improved, a bad mood disappears, anger or aggression attacks are much less frequent, facial skin is beautified, unnecessary weight is lost, health and physical condition are improved.
Fresh air.
These days, the pace of life is swift, and a walk in the fresh air is a luxury. However, let’s try to put the agenda so that even 2-3 times a week, we can enjoy it. The ideal option is a walk with family, a good friend or parent, and sometimes, perhaps just on your own, with your thoughts. The forest, park, seaside, etc. are perfect for this.
The time of year does not affect, because as the saying goes:
“There is no bad weather, there are only the wrong clothes”.
Walking in the fresh air is very beneficial:
- cleanses the lungs,
- improves sleep quality,
- speeds up metabolism,
- trains the heart,
- strengthens muscles and bones,
- improves blood circulation, and psychological state.
If you have the ability to love, love yourself first. A very positive quote about self-love.
And let alone how it burns calories perfectly.
However, if we do not have the opportunity to enjoy it in the fresh air, the city will be perfect. After all, the essential plus of physical activity is that during it, and for some time after that, the number of endorphins (happiness hormones) increases, which also brings us closer to a happy life and love for ourselves.
Healthy lifestyle professionals advise you to be physically active for at least 30 minutes each day.
Massage.
It’s terrific if you have the opportunity to visit a professional masseur at least occasionally.
The benefits of massage are probably beyond doubt: it strengthens muscles, improves blood circulation, calms the nervous system, speeds up metabolism, improves the condition of the skin, and the psychological state.
However, if you do not have the opportunity to visit the massage salon, it is perfect for pampering yourself in a hot bath, by candlelight, with soothing music. Then rub the body with cream, massaging movements. Rub until the skin is slightly red. You will not massage your back, but your thighs, buttocks, abdomen, chest, arms – yes.
Evening.
The last meal is at least 2 hours before going to bed.
Choose dinner that is easy to digest. Remember that at least 12 hours must elapse between dinner and breakfast for the body to rest properly, digest the existing food, and prepare for a new day. The quality of sleep will be much better, and you will feel much fresher in the morning if you do not eat before going to bed.
When you lie down in bed, be sure to thank you for a nice day, think about what you liked and what you did that day, dream about what you would like to change, and imagine how you do it.
These simple, uncomplicated, effortless, or time-consuming tips can greatly improve your psychological state.
You will not even feel how your body lines will become more beautiful, your health will improve, and you will become more energetic, fun, and interesting for yourself and others!
