In today’s modern society, the topic of self-love is highly overlooked and forgotten, despite its true importance for humans. To me, self-love represents the acceptance of oneself for who you are in the present moment and the person you are evolving into. Here is an A-Z list of simple ways you can practice caring for yourself:
A – Allow yourself to make mistakes because nobody is perfect.
B – Breathe… You can do anything you put your mind to.
C – Create a new playlist with all your favorite songs.
D – Dance like nobody’s watching.
E – Everything shower.
F – Focus on eating healthy, nutritious food to fuel your body.
G – Go on a coffee date to catch up with your friends.
H – Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
I – Ignite the energy you hold within.
J – Journal your thoughts and feelings.
K – Know and acknowledge your limitations.
L – Light a candle or plug in a diffuser with your favorite essential oils.
M – Mindfulness! Concentrate on the present moment and avoid dwelling on what is to come or what has already passed.
N – Notice how you are feeling: physically, mentally, and emotionally.
O – Organize your space.
P – Practice positive self-talk.
Q – Quiet time to collect your thoughts and reflect.
R – Rest and rejuvenate.
S – Set a schedule for yourself.
T – Treat yourself every once in a while.
U – Unplug from social media.
V – Venture to a new place and explore.
W – Walk outside to absorb the sunshine and admire the beauty around you.
X – E(x)ercise. It is so important to move your body each day.
Y – Yoga or stretching to release built-up tension in your body.
Z – Zen! Meditate, practice awareness, and clear your mind of all negative thoughts.
I hope each and every person who comes across my A-Z list of self-care activities can find something that helps them realize “self-love is the best love.”
