With Valentine\'s day right around the corner, the love is in the air! But what about self love?

You are worthy of your own love, validation, acceptance and appreciation.

We\'ve all heard the phrase "You can only love another as much as you love yourself" BUT I\'d like to take this idea a bit further... You can\'t love any aspect of your life (not your relationships, your career, your hobbies, etc) until you love yourself. The reason being, wherever you go, there you are. You are the common denominator for EVERY area in your life. It starts with you, baby!

Here are 3 ways to welcome more self love into your life:

1. Create a routine. A daily self care practice where you can truly nourish your body, mind, heart and soul!

2. Do what feels good. Duh. This seems obvious but we have a tendency to agree to too many things, things that we dont WANT to do in the first place. This is an act of self betrayal. Everything you say "yes" to is a "no" to something else. What are you saying no to? No to your own time? Energy? Sanity? No. No. No..

3. BOUNDARIES. We are very familiar with boundaries and how they are important  for our relationships BUT what about the boundaries you set with yourself? The bed time boundary, the Netflix boundary, the social media boundary? Self boundaries help you stay accountable in your self love practices. Click here for a whole episode on boundaries!

BUT THEN WHAT?! 

You agree to start a routine... but what do you do in your routine? You start saying NO to things that don\'t light you up... but what do you do with the extra energy? You set boundaries and free up and TON of time... okay? What do I do with that time?

Below are the 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman (Click here to get his book) and ways to use them for SELF LOVE

Quality Time: Cut out time to be alone, whether it\'s a hot bath, a walk in nature or a quiet meditation. Some serious Me, Myself and I time!

Acts of Service: Do things to support yourself like meal prep or goal setting and planning.

Words of Affirmation: Create affirmations for your meditation practice, to write in your journal or to say in there mirror. (here\'s whole episode on affirmations!)

Physical Touch: Anything that makes your body feel GOOD! Light stretching, hot bath, self massage, fuzzy blankets.

Gifts: Investing in things for yourself. Buy yourself a new journal or a candle for your nighttime bath.
