Self love
What is it?
How do we engage in loving on ourselves?
For me Self Love is many things.
It’s commitment to self. It’s consistency with self. It’s checking in with yourself, the same way you check in with your partner or your friends and family. Self love is all about seeing what we are pouring out into the world, and pouring those same actions and care to our selves.
When we think of love, we often think of the gentleness, the embracing, the sense of feeling “full”, the 5 love languages. We think of all the softness that is love. Which it is.
But it is also..
holding yourself extremely accountable for your words, actions, and feelings.
Sitting with your demons and getting to know them on a name to name basis. So we can understand why they are there and what they want, and how we can create homeostasis with them and ourselves.
Self love is taking a moment to breathe and see where your body needs attention, and care.
Self love is nourishing every aspect of your vessel.
Self love is being strict with yourself, and saying no to “toxic” wants in life.
Self love is playing in our darkness, so we can appreciate the light.
Once we start feeling deeper into ourselves, our love, and how we want to be loved, we can then in turn feel deeper into that love for life and other people.
