Having self-love involves having an appreciation and respect for yourself. That includes taking care of your physical and mental health. Although most people are busy, it's important to take time to nourish yourself and treat yourself with the love and kindness you deserve.
Self-love is having regard for our own well-being and contentment according to the American Psychological Association.
While self-care proponents suggest taking baths and getting massages, loving yourself goes much deeper than splurging once in a while on pleasures like these.
Self-love should be a daily activity in which you check in with yourself and treat yourself the way we treat loved ones.
The Brain and Behavior Research Foundation says that self-love comes from actions that support physical, psychological, and spiritual growth.
Prioritize Your Well-Being and Mental Health
Your physical and mental health are directly correlated and how you feel physically can influence how you feel mentally and emotionally. When you begin loving and caring for your body, you’re directly and positively influencing your mental health, too. Eating and sleeping well is important in maintaining well-being and warding off illness. That means choosing healthy foods and getting adequate sleep every night. Exercising regularly has a positive impact on your overall health as exercise decreases cortisol, the stress hormone, in your body. Remember to give yourself time to take care of and value yourself. Struggling with mental health issues might require visiting a therapist, choosing online therapy, or turning to an app.
Embrace Self-Compassion
When you acknowledge your mistakes and accept your imperfections with kindness and without judgment, you exhibit self-compassion. Dr. Kristin Neff’s widely accepted definition of self-compassion has three components: Self-kindness: feeling kindness toward ourselves rather than judgment, criticism, or shame Common humanity: recognizing we are part of a common humanity as everyone makes mistakes rather than viewing ourselves as isolated beings unworthy of love and belonging Mindfulness: viewing mistakes mindfully by having a perspective and not over-identifying with our failings In a pilot study on self-compassion, scientists empirically tested the use of a writing intervention to determine if these self-compassion components influenced each other. Findings showed that the three components do mutually enhance each other.
Don’t Compare Yourself to Other People
When we are jealous of our friend’s promotion or feel we are lacking because we gained ten pounds while our neighbor is in great shape, it’s hard not to feel down. Social comparisons can cause stress. Comparison and competition may motivate you in ways that are helpful and not harmful. More often than not, they diminish us by causing stress, anxiety, guilt, and shame. Social media has affected our mental health in not-so-great ways. We judge ourselves more harshly on a regular basis and don't feel good enough. High social media use has been linked to depression.
