10 Positive Reminders To Help You Attract More Self-Love and Acceptance In Your Life

When the world seems to be harsh and constantly judging us, it is important to pause and look inward for the unconditional self-love that we have been trying to find outside. To begin the journey of self-love, start by looking inward and knowing yourself better; because it's going to tell you where you need to start. When we remind ourselves to cultivate more compassion and self-love for ourselves, we also take care of our mental health and well-being by keeping anxiety, depression, and stress at bay.

Our society constantly works in a way where we are supposed to be there for others, but ourselves! In this process we forget that we must prioritize ourselves too once in a while. We put everyone else's needs first over ourselves, and this is where we lose our identity, freedom, and value. Don't get me wrong! Taking care of yourself is as important and compulsory as taking care of others. We must not forget to fill our cup too before we fill others'.

Self-love and self-care was never a priority for me until I hit the bottom once. I kept giving and giving until I realized that I had nothing left for myself to feel happy and healthy. That's when I started my self-love journey, first by saying, 'no!' Sometimes saying no is the best self-care.

And I’ve learned to love myself because of my flaws, too.” ~ Cara Delevingne to Elle

When you truly love yourself, you own your emotions, grow through failures and live a purpose-driven, passionate, beautiful life. When you are anchored towards self-love- you create a deep bond with your soul self. You start valuing your existence, no matter where you are in life! You no more feel paralyzed by the fear of not being accepted.

Self-love is the most purest form of love, that allows you to explore all your feelings around it. When you're madly in love with yourself, you get to understand how our emotions are directly connected to our physical and mental health. We become more agile towards learning our mind, body, and soul needs. Negative emotions like; guilt, hatred, envy, anger, revenge, etc,. starts melting down to more accepting and compassionate feelings.

 Self-awareness is self-love. The more you begin to know yourself, the more transparent, honest, and accepting you become towards yourself.

No one has a better undersanding of your innermost thoughts and needs. Only you can find that out, and fill that gap [need for love]. No one else will ever experience life the same way you do. They may empathize and show compassion to you after you share your feelings with them, but they will never ever experience what and how you experience things. Therefore keep these ten self-love quote reminders handy by writing them down somewhere where you can see and read them everyday, and keep reminding yourself to give some love, care, and attention to yourself every single moment.
